I had Dantley on my list, but he was further down for all the reasons you listed. He may have been an incredibly talented individual player, but he could be a chemistry nightmare.

He was a locker room cancer. Frank Layden couldn't stand him and once fined him 30 pieces of silver (30 dimes) for conduct unbecoming the team.

Lol. He might be the most selfish player in pro sports history I’m shocked they eventually retired his number. Lol took a while though didn’t happen till 2007. Jazz traded him, I think in 86. Took 21 years. Lol

I’ve never done one of these Jazz only drafts, but from what I can tell people will vote against my team based on Dantley? Even if my plan was for him to be a primary bench scorer sixth man? I remember when he was traded and all the problems he caused, but I didn’t realize “chemistry issues” were taken into consideration. Oh well I’m learning. Dantley is a hall of famer and great scorer who could rebound pretty well.

I like him in a 6th man role. The pick was fine. He’s usually a 1st round pick in this. Getting him where you did was good value. He’s just a polarizing player.

Hold be. But he might resent playing behind Korver or whoever plays the 3. It’s just his nature. Even his mom doesn’t have all nice things to say. Said sometimes she even couldn’t figure him out as a child and was quiet and a loner.

@Elizah Huge Feeling totally over the scorpion bite? What happened exactly?

I’m back home now thankfully. I was working in my garden at home. I grabbed my open bag of potting soil to spread on the ground as I was planting some new vegetables. I’m spreading the soil around using my hands and all of a sudden feel a jolt of pain run up my arm. I look down and find a scorpion with his tail up and look down at my arm and see a tiny incision right above my wrist where my gloves stopped covering.

I went inside and cleaned the wound as best as I could. I looked up what to do on the internet and while I was doing that I felt a burning sensation on my arms and neck. I broke out in a rash of hives and knew that wasn’t good. My girlfriend rushed me to the hospital where they helped me immediately. I was given a shot to treat the reaction and stayed for observation.

Crazy thing is I’ve been stung by a wasp before and it hurt way worse than being stung by a scorpion. I wasn’t allergic to the wasp though.

Was it one of those smaller scorpions or a bigger one? Heard the smaller ones are the most dangerous.

Sorry, folks, stuff exploded at work. It's calmed down now, so it should just be another few minutes. Or hours, maybe, who knows?

Did anyone watch the show “Kings of Pain”? These two guys went around the world and got stung, bitten, etc by different animals. They did scorpions and one of them was really painful.

Are we drafting guys based on their time with the Jazz or taking their entire careers?

I use their entire careers. I don’t care how anybody else evaluates them.

The Jazz. Otherwise, Dominique Wilkins would’ve already been drafted.
