Is it just me, or do others wonder what type of "return on investment" the Jazz get from investing oodles of hours evaluating and developing players with a remote shot to make a 15 man roster? How many hours did our coaching staff invest in developing Elijah Millsap, for example?
The Jazz focus a fair share of their organizational bandwidth and millions into Summer League, D League, flying in and working out hundreds of third tier players, coaching salaries. For players who are likely to not make a team or sign elsewhere.
I believe they should retool this strategy to prioritize and focus on investments into developing players like Rudy, Dante, etc., and spend less time on the Chris Johnson's of the world. They can fairly easily round out the roster from nonaffiliated D leaguers and established veterans.
