If you could bring back any former Jazz player

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Also, do you mean like current player who was a former Jazz in his current state, or like how he was when he was on Utah, or like any point of his career?

If any point in their career I'm still Millsap.

If at the current point of their career I'd go Hayward.

If at the best point of their Jazz career, I'd go Hayward.

Pistol, Malone, maybe AD in his prime, but i seem to recall he couldn't shoot well from 3.

Matt Harpring would be fun on the court with Rubio and Crowder.

 

[Magic Spray]

I'll take some fringe players and make a super-star:

1. Joel Bolomboy's body and rebounding.
2. Trevor Booker's heart and tenacity.
3. Tibor Pleiss' unreal shooting mechanics.
4. Udoh's defensive prowess.
5. Jarron Collins' ability to get minutes.
6. CJ Miles' three point volume.
7. Jerebko's three point percentage.
8. DeMarre Carroll's dreads.
9. Jose Ortiz's accent.
10. JLIII's initials.
11. Niang's contract.
12. Trey Lyles' balance.
13. Grayson's hand pads.
14. John Amaechi's perceived intelligence.
15. Hoffa's strength and willingness to get nasty and lay down a flagrant (or two).
16. Fesenko's standing reach.
17. Larry Miller's willingness to get into a scuffle with opposing fans.
18. Ben Handlogten's feel-good story.
19. Keith Mcleod's high school coach.
20. Steve Novak's long-ball.
21. Naz Long's per-36 scoring ability.
22. Thurl Bailey's goggles.
23. Boris Diaw's passing, vision, and charm.

Pretty sure that guy takes us over the top.

24. Keon Clark's crack pipe thin legs

AD's iso game would be one of the worse fits under Quin's system. Dave Blackwell said something to the effect that by the time Dantley decided what to do with the ball, the rest of the team had fallen asleep.

I vote for Pistol Pete, although prime Milsap would be a great fit.

Ha, im not old enough to remember Dantley on the Jazz. But i remember and miss Dave Blackwell. I rescind my nomination.

Can I still have Harpring and Crowder for the all scrum second team?

 

[LoPo]

Just imagine a lineup with Grayson, Harpring, Ingles, Thabo and Gobert. That team would annoy the ever loving crap out of the opponent.

You forgot someone.

 

[Archie Moses]

He wouldn't be my first guy, but gawd I'd love to see Memo on this roster at 25 - 27 years old.

Malone
Stockton
Blue Edwards (love, love, love his dunks)
Boozer (when he played, he was pretty damn good)
Millsap
AK
DWill
Dunkenstein


Hayward can go **** himself though.

 

[Engorged On Unborn Gore]

Except he can't defend 4s, which nowadays are really wings.

Sure, but Gobert's skill set is the perfect complement for that. They drive past Memo and get met.

All the small forwards being mentioned on this thread erase Ingles from the starting lineup. Okur could get back anything he gives up (and then some) by simply being himself on the 3-point line, and it simultaneously keeps Ingles on the floor. This team + Memo is better than anything else suggested thus far.

 

[infection]

Would anyone take Jerry Sloan?

[Keefe]

Memo would be ideal for this squad. It would be murder to defend the Jazz with Okur knocking them down from the 4 spot.

Okur would be murdered even worse on defense. This was not a good showing for you.

 

[Zombie]

Okur would be fun, but as a backup C. I think prime AK would make this team damn near impossible to score on, and really fun on offense too.

 

[Engorged On Unborn Gore]

Okur would be murdered even worse on defense.

Not with Gobert at the 5, he wouldn’t. Not remotely. Meanwhile, he opens the floor on offense perpetually.

AK, by contrast, would be cheated off of routinely and shoot far too often, making our offense worse.

This was not a good showing for you.

Thank God.

Is that maharishi mahesh as your avatar @ghsartin?

No. I just photoshopped my eyes and eyebrows into a random dude's face. lol This is me:

i tried interpreting your instagram post but my wife informed me its Portuguese, how the hell did you become a jazz fan? Neto wasnt here in 2013

No one taking byron russel?

 

[Jack Strop]

AK. He just played in the wrong era. He was great internationally because he didn't have to face big PF's. In the NBA he was just too slight for PF and didn't shoot well enough to play SF. I think he stays engaged under Quin because everyone touches the ball. He doesn't feel ignored. And the league is smaller. He certainly fits better as a shooter than Favors with Gobert.

Current players, I just can't bring myself to say Hayward, so I go with Millsap. If we didn't have a bazillion guards, I'd probably pick someone else. I have to say Hill was a perfect fit when we had him.

 

[Michaelr]

I'd take Russel. Played great D.

 

[JazzFever]

83-85 Darrell Griffith would be perfect. He was making the 3 at a decent percentage and scoring over 20 pts a game. With current coaching techniques he'd be monstrously good in this team/system.

Prime AK would also fit like a glove.

 

[NAOS]

Not with Gobert at the 5, he wouldn’t. Not remotely. Meanwhile, he opens the floor on offense perpetually.

Thank God.

bro... Memo as a 4 in today's NBA? That's awful.

Championship.

Also better than AK for this team.
