Why do the Jazz work out players they have no chance of drafting?

The rubric theory matches with my understanding. It appears the jazz collect a data pool of players who played against players that we are interested in. They can then compare 2014 with 2016, etc based on the data collected which allows them to gauge prospects better. DL has been amazing at drafting so whatever he is doing, why would you complain?

And whatever those two girls are doing is no reason to complain either. Did DL work them out too? In the name of the draft, I concur with DL's methods.

Their metrics really hit a homerun with the drafting of Oliver Hanlan last year. I'm not sure what they saw in him.
 
Because Utah is a boring place and Jazz are only team of the 4 major sports in Utah so Jazz need to always be doing something so the fans can stay interested. It isn't like you are ever in the playoffs or making any noise in the playoffs.. This helps.
 
So? That only further reinforces my point. The Jazz are endlessly sifting through the D-League looking for the next Matthews, Jeffers, Millsap... anyone that can help them.

It is one area that I give DL high marks on.

One of the reasons Jazz are not in the playoffs and at home this time of year watching... Endlessly sifting thru the d league looking for bench players, HAHA.. That is what winning franchises do, yep sure is.lol

Rabble rabble rabble.

Hanlan was officially a draft and stash player. He is from Canadadananda. If they had grabbed a Somolian giant named H'Oley McD'uff or some Brazilian that goes by a single name like Q'weef then would that have made you feel better?

I'd say DL has done as good at drafting since he has been with the Jazz as any GM in the league. To be fair, I think I only saw ONE player drafted after Hanlan in any game in 2015. So... t'least we didn't end up with Brazilian Q'weef.
 
Today on 1280 Mr Lindsey gave a very good explanation of why they bring in multiple players, particularly local players. It is long, and he uses big words, not everyone will appreciate it. I will say he is a visionary, with plans for the here and now and 20 years from now. He and the Millers are clearly motivated by more than just the bottom line, and I like that.

You young people should find a boss like Lindsey.

Wrong again dummy. Jazz were in the playoffs over 20 years in a row. And then after that streak stopped they went to the playoffs again year after year with d will memo ak booze.

So ya, going to the playoffs something like 27 times out of 33 years = never going to the playoffs if you're a dummy.
 
Jazz Cannot draft a late round player? Ok.

You'd have to elaborate if I am to fully understand.

Elaborate? Ok imagine I am your girl. I have a beautiful face, eyes like blue skies, pale and soft skin. Romantic. You fall in love with me. And in bed, when you try to go down, I immediately say;

"I don't like this."

Then you try to go for my nipples. I immediately say;

"Ouch"

Then you go for my cleet and I say;

"Not so rough you are hurting me"

Everyone has a borderline of patience and yours has come.

On the other woman's case, just watch her dance. It will give you an idea of what she can do to you/ on your... well.. thang.
