If the Jazz are looking for shooting in the 2nd round Jabari Brown maybe the best option hes got a quick release is a proven volume 3pt shooter @41% and can attack closeouts. his measurements will be key, hasn't been measured officially in 4 years since he registered 6'3 in shoes, if hes anywhere near Missouri's listed height of 6'5 I'd expect him to move up to the top tier of the 2nd round picks

I'm not sure we want two people on the Jazz named Jabari...:)[/QUOTE]

Would be surprised if we add any player like this from the draft. Our team just isn't at the point where we can add in these type of guys and have them succeed. Would be more interested in taking these Euros and stashing them since there seems to be a lot of highly talented Euro's in this draft.
 
can you be more descriptive than 'players like this'? not sure what to make of that

I have Brown lumped in with PJ Hairston, CJ Wilcox, Jordan Adams, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Spencer Dinwiddie as potential floor spacers at SG in the fringe 1st round/top half of the 2nd round range

Word. Hopefully when he actually gets on a competitive team, with regular minutes, he will develop that. I have a hard time blaming any of our players for their lack of fire this year with how dire the situation was in Utah. The team was obviously not happy with the coaching gameplan of playing slow and they knew management was against them winning, along with a large portion of vocal fans. Hard to get motivated, at least I would have a hard time, day in and day out getting pumped for games. He showed it against the big time opponents, which probably served as his only form of motivation. Ideally he would be able to do that every night, but he isn't on that level of competitiveness/sense of proving himself (he got an extension after all) unfortunately, but doesn't mean he can't be an all-star.

Really hope whoever our coach is next year really works with Favors on being a defensive captain. He really needs to learn how to be a vocal, Chandler-type where he can create energy for himself and the team on defense first. I saw him developing his offense this year where he could take advantage of mismatches (unlike previous years where teams could actually defend him with people like Matt Bonner) and he shows spurts of being able to put all his tools together to becoming a very good offense player.

Also, hopefully Burke gets more play-making responsibility (and in turn takes less shots) and Kanter starts taking 3's, giving Favors more pick n roll space.

Kind of really hope we sign George Karl because I think he is the smartest coach (available) in taking advantage his team's abilities on the offense end and always plays to his team strengths and doesn't stick to any stubborn preconceived style.

these two things don't immediately seem to fit. Karl has had some good individual defenders on his teams, but I've never seen his teams really dig in and play winning defense. That probably explains his problems in the playoffs.

- Packers QB Aaron Rodgers might have jump-started NFL career of Kansas basketball player Tarik Black

"Both Black and Wiestling say three NFL teams have expressed interest. One unnamed team, in fact, showed its zeal by asking the NBA team in the city it shares to reach out to Wiestling for Black's number. His agency actually got a call from an NBA team on behalf of an NFL team."
 
I didn't watch the scouting report, but Adams has never struck me as a guy that would be that good in the pros.

The Jazz already announced that they would go to the Vegas league this year.

I hear it's because they want to keep their barely out of HS players away from the teenie crowd at DisneyWorld and Universal. At least if/when their jailhouse-tatted players misbehave in LV, it will be with other "professionals."
