If you could bring back any former Jazz player

Who would it be?

1) who is currently in the league
2) any from the past, excluding Stockton & Malone

Memo, but with Udoh's defense.

1) Who is currently in the league, Millsap.
2) From any era, Mark Eaton (at his prime). It would be fun to have him either backing up Gobert or pairing up with him from time to time. lol

 

[David Stern]

1 - Millsap. He'd be a great fit in this system
2 - Prime Deron Williams. He'd be lethal with this team

 

[MVP]

Prime AK47 of course. Imagine him at 4 and Gobert defending the paint. Now that would be true Swat Lake City.

Is that maharishi mahesh as your avatar @ghsartin?

One of the best ball handlers and shooters of ALL TIME

Pistol > Klay Thompson

I think Pistol, DM45, Ingles, & Gobert could play 4 on 5 and tear teams up.

 

[Chargers Jazz Angels]

current players - millsap of course he would flourish with the system and with his stretch capabilites

past - okur would probably be the best fit in the current nba. shooting is at a premium

While not necessarily my first choice I'd love to see how Kyle Korver would perform in an offense that generates as many open looks as Utah's.

How about the body of AK but the heart and toughness of Thabo? Now there's a player.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

Pre-paid AK47 would only add to our great defense and playmaking.

Playing today, Marvin. I could say Millsap, but Marvin is a better shooter, and probably fits a little better next to Gobert.

Edited, as I did not read the original post carefully enough.

Hornacek to back up Mitchell or go alongside him is an upgrade over any reserve 1-2 we have. Lights-out shooter, stubborn defender.

Currently in the league, I don't see many talent upgrades over what we have. Marvin Williams at back-up 3 over Royce?

Probably look a lot like Jingles with less defense. . .

Nobody thinks that MVP era Karl Malone would help this team? With the modern rules?

OP stated excluding Stockton and Malone.

This is probably the only answer.

Plus Quin Snyder wouldn't f'n wreck him mentally the way Sloan did.

No, he'd just follow in the footsteps of Rodney Hood and Trey Lyles.

 

[checkbookdoc]

I am shocked at the lack of two obvious players:

1) Gordon Hayward
2) Hornacek

Gordon would take the team to another level, and Hornacek would kill it in this offense!

Fairly certain AK wouldn't have been fond of the 3 hour practices. He couldn't really stretch the floor either. Gobert's rim protection makes him kind of redundant. Give me prime Memo or Deron and we are in business.
