Official Jazz workouts thread

I don't think Favors at the LHMZBBTF today is a coincidence. Nor is Perrins smile.

Weezur, thanks for pointing out that Horton was there. He has some good quotes from Perrin.

Austin Horton ‏@austinhorton

I asked Walt Perrin what the number one need is in the draft. Perrin then noted the team has only 5 players under contract for this season.

Perrin also explained this staff being rich with talent, short on parity, and lacking of star power.

Also:
I didn't see Jerry Sloan there, but that doesn't mean he wasn't. Saw Phil Johnson there though​

Some notes on the players working out today (mostly on Shane Larkin so far)

Steve Luhm ‏@sluhm 19m
PG Shane Larkin highest-rated prospect to work out for the Jazz so far. Polished. Well-spoken. Says he'll be good in community.

Huh? Since when is Larkin higher rated than Cody Zeller?

Shane Larkin is good, I have been trying to tell you guys this.

 

[A-Train (old)]

^But as much as I like him, there is no way he is better than Zeller.

They're both backup material anyway.. so it is a moot point.

Larkin isn't backup material and neither is Zeller, on this team Zeller would be though.

I think they're both backup material for a contending team...

on offense, but what about his defense?

This guy isn't the answer for our starting PG. Drafting him at 14 is a huge mistake.

I agree- Larkin isn't a starter in the NBA. Not a good enough defender and not a good enough finisher at the rim.

Who else came in for the workout?

 

[The Midnight]

Who else came in for the workout?

Tony Mitchel, Zo Brown, Reggie Bullock.

 

[slc]

Why is there no info on these guys?

 

[The Midnight]

Why is there no info on these guys?

What? Is this your first day of following the draft? There's already a 1,000 pages worth of discussion on these guys.

 

[slc]

I mean about their Jazz workout.
These are guys fans want to draft.
