2023 annual Jazzfanz all time NBA draft

PF: Elvin “The Big E” Hayes



Best season - 1970/71
28.7 points per game
16.6 rebounds per game
2.3 assists per game
 
Pre paid AK is pretty good, and played winning basketball
He peaked at a pretty meh level at age 22 where he put up fun stats on a bad team. There are a 100 other players way better than him that actually helped good teams go much further. When he was the lead guy we did nothing, when he was the 3rd/4th guy he was pretty useless. His only good traits were as a help defender and flailing hard when he got near the rim and hope the refs bailed him out. He had a completely broken shot. I doubt if another teams board does their top 500 NBA players he comes up. His peak year was poor percentage shooting 16 points, 8 boards, and 3 assists.
 
AK was better, but yeah as far as this competition goes both are just a complete waste pick for the bench.
Eh, if we're trying to win this particular contest, by you're own admission it's not a waste. Because Jazz fans are voting and Jazz fans will think of him more highly than a random NBA fan. I also think he's much more useful in general than you seem to think, even if there are dudes I still would take above him.

I'll be sure to use my full allotted time if I need to do more research next time to avoid offending anyone.
 
I was all set to take Peja with this pick but now I'm switching things up big time. I know this guy isn't thought of highly on this board but I think offensively he is insanely skilled and I can put the defensive pieces around him to offset that weakness.

With Towns being a mediocre defender I wanted to pair him with an elite defender up front.
