Just interesting who do we still like as a fanbase. Up to three choices. I personally partial to Dante, Royce and Joe.
 
I mean, these are the players who played for the Jazz for at least a season and are still active NBA players
 
I like and cheer for all former jazz players. The only one I didn't like for awhile was Hayward, but I got over that as well. I'm not sure I can narrow it down to just 3.

Imagine that you, as a well-known superfan, have been invited to a reunion party for the ex-Jazz players. After lots of fun they all staggered to bed rather tipsy and later the building caught fire. You have enough time to drag out only three passed-out Jazzmen. Now, who would they be?

That's a little morbid, but I would save the closest 3 to me.

I did end up coming up with a vote though.
 
I ended up voting for Royce and Mike since they were guys that got scapegoated while with the Jazz and I ended up defending them a lot on this board. Then I voted for Joe since he's just an all time great Jazzman and personality.
 
I don’t necessarily root for any of them these days, but I did take enough of an interest to look up season stats periodically for 3 of those guys so that’s who I voted for XD. Mike, Rudy and Don
 
Wish we could choose more players. I enjoy watching quite a few of our ex-players. I put Alec Burks in there despite me caring for a few others more, because I thought not many would vote for him and ever since we drafted him I've had an irrational liking for him.
 
Once they are gone I don’t give a damn quite honestly. I haven’t followed any of them. I don’t hate them to me they’re just no different than any other player not on the jazz. I’m just not wired that way. I only care about the jazz it’s the only team and players I care about if they succeed or not.
 
Rudy The Bear, Mountain Mike, and Dante Exum. I like that Dante has came back to the league and made a resurgence off the bench for a team that could very well win the championship this year. I love to see it!
 
I won’t vote for Rudy or Don (even though I like both guys personally) until after the Jazz no longer own TWolves & Cavs draft picks. Until then. . . screw those teams.

I voted for Jingles, Royce and Fontecchio. Just have a thing for undrafted guys exceeding expectations and going on to have long-term success. Still disappointed that they traded Simone.
 
So, after 24 votes some trends became clear. Ingles, Conley and Gobert are pretty equal and in the tier of their own, with many Jazz fans still maintaining a strong connection with them.

What surprised me is how few people care about Mitchell (just 2 votes so far!) and that nobody chose Hayward. Both of these players were the face of the Utah Jazz for a while.

Also, interesting that the Jazz fans gave no votes to Crowder and Grayson Allen, both being scrappy defenders with a a bit of a mean streak.

I actually gave my 3rd to Allen initially, but then I thought about it a bit more and since the dude is sort of an ******* and not as funny at it as Ingles I decided to revoke the vote and just vote 2 (Joe and Mike). However its a personality driven vote for me.

Mike is actually an amazing specimen. Its rare that people who are actually nice guys thrive in such highly competitive and occasionally toxic environments without losing who they are.
 
Hmm, I kinda forgot about Mike there, went with Alec, Dante and Rudy. Not sure who to replace, though.
 
Only ones I really dont "cheer" for are Hayward/Mitchell/Crowder.

Hayward would be the top just becaues he left the team without us being able to get anything back for him. Really hurt the franchise.

I just dont like Donovan's personality type or playstyle. He did right by the franchise for a guy who ultimately wanted out, so the dislike isnt heavily heavily there, but I dont like him overall.

Crowder just annoyed the **** out of me and I thought he was overrated and I hate his jumper where he jumps 5 feet forward to draw fouls.
