2015 Annual JazzFanz All-Time NBA Draft

JEFF HORNACEK

I post this picture because we all know Horny for the shooter he was. We often forget what a complete player he was. He did so much for an "unathletic" player that it almost boggled the mind. Here is his best season stat line:

20 PT
5 Rebs
5 Asst
2 St
51% FG
44% 3 PT
89 % FT

Overall, the 1992 NBA All-Star averaged 14.5 points in 1,077 career games with the Suns, Sixers (1993-94) and Utah Jazz (1994-00), making 11 career playoff appearances in 14 seasons, and earning two trips to the NBA Finals (1997,1998). In that time, the former walk-on at Iowa State University also established himself as one of the NBA’s premier shooters, finishing his career as a 49.6-percent marksman overall, 40.3 percent from three-point range, and 87.7 percent from the free-throw line, which still ranks 14th-best in NBA history 13 years after his retirement. He twice won the league’s Three-Point Shootout at All-Star Weekend (1998, 2000).

The numbers are staggering. Utah has the league’s top defense since February, allowing just 95.7 points per 100 possessions according to nba.com/stats, shaving almost nine points per 100 possessions from its previous total. Since the Kanter trade, the Jazz have allowed just 89.3 points per 100 possessions. It’s a remarkable turnaround for a team that ranked dead last defensively the previous season.

Even with a limited offensive game, Gobert is averaging 11 points and 14 rebounds while shooting over 57 percent since moving into the starting lineup. His star has risen so quickly that the Jazz are taking extra care to point out that their defense started picking up before the trade and that it’s a collective effort that features -- among others -- Favors and rookie point guard Dante Exum.

He ranks fourth in the league in blocks per game (2.3) and his 186 swats are second most overall.

• Opponents shoot just 39.9 percent at the rim against Gobert, according to the NBA's data, the lowest mark among players who defend at least five shots there a game.

• The 7-foot-1 Frenchman ranks 15th in defensive rebounding (505), corralling more than 26 percent of all his team's defensive rebounding chances when he's on the court.

• And in the Jazz's defensive transformation, which has seen the team go from the NBA's worst defensive unit last year to its best since the All-Star break, no single player has had a bigger impact than Gobert.

"There aren't many guys that can have an impact on the game without scoring," Minnesota coach Flip Saunders said. "He can have impact without scoring."

Now I can seriously mix and match for matchups. Need to defend a dynamic point guard? Isiah Thomas went up against the best. Need to spread the floor? Lillard and Horny together are a dangerous combo, along with Love, and good luck defending the 3. Need strength at the center spot? Good luck anyone pushing Gilmore out. Need stifling D at the Rim. Go go Gobert ARMS!! Want raw athleticism? Put in Kemp and Vince Carter.

And anchoring it all, the arguably best player to ever touch a basketball, LeBron James.


If you all want to just throw in the towel right now, I understand.


PG - Isiah Thomas, Damian Lillard
SG - Vince Carter, Jeff Hornacek
SF - LeBron James
PF - Kevin Love, Shawn Kemp
C - Artis Gilmore, Rudy Gobert
 
Welp since Hack is asleep ... and I've sent out a few trade proposal via PMs... so I think I'm gonna wait around a bit for those to come back :)
 
I'm interested in moving up to an on-the-clock pick. Offering 93 and 97, and willing to take back a very late pick in return. Offer will be out there until my target is gone. PM me if you're interested. Thanks.
