1973-74 NBA All-Defensive (2nd)

1974-75 NBA All-Defensive (2nd)

1976-77 NBA All-NBA (1st)
1978-79 NBA All-NBA (1st)

moves Boozer's *** to the bench and gives me a solid starting 4 & 5 in Hayes & Olajuwon
 
the '10 NBA draft has a ton of good PG's to draft, not worried about picking up a PG.

I wasn't either, until I started dissecting my particular situation. None of those guys will probably be there for me in '10, and certainly not on the Jazz in '10 or the '70's. Devin Harris was probably the best PG I was going to get if I didn't go for Frazier (which I don't think is a bad pickup at all, just a little bit of a reach probably). And that's some yick crap in the scheme of things.

I see what you did, there. That's the same reason I cussed you for taking Walt ... same reason I thought I'd get him.

If I had to do it over, I'd draft BPA and tell everyone to suck it.

Paul, Rose, or Westbrook at least should be available for you in '10. So you'll be alright.

Or you could draft your boy, Rondo.
 
With the final pick in the 1970's NBA-round, vslice02 selects: Dave Cowens

Alot of great players still to choose from (Willis Reed, Tiny Archibald, Wes Unseld, Connie Hawkins, Bill Walton) but Cowens is the best. In his prime he average 20 pts, 16 reb and 5 ast while winning 2 championships along with league MVP.
This is the 6-9 lunch-pail PF/C you need next to Kareem who does the dirty work, plays tough defense (All-Defense 3x) and does things like poke the ball away from the Oscar Robertson and then dive across the floor for it in the NBA Finals.

1970's Utah Jazz Round

With the first pick in the 1970's Utah Jazz-round, vslice02 selects: "Pistol" Pete Maravich
500-maravich08a.jpg

A bigtime scorer and superb showman on some absolutely dreadful teams, on this team he's the perfect 6th-man. From 1972-78 Maravich averaged 27 pts, 6 ast and 5 reb (including a 31.1 avg to lead the league in scoring in '77) - and that was without the 3pt line.

Lineup:
PG Deron Williams/Pete Maravich
SG Michael Jordan/Dell Curry
SF Paul Pierce
PF Dave Cowens/Antoine Carr
C Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

OTC: Prodigy.

Gail Goodrich

Goodrich gave the jazz 3 quality seasons at the tail end of his career.

The best easily was his 77-78 season where he scored 16.1 PPG on 49% shooting.

Interesting fact -

When he signed with the New Orleans Jazz in 1976, per league rules, the Lakers were to receive compensation for losing a veteran free agent. The Lakers and Jazz agreed to send New Orleans' highest pick from the 1979 draft to Los Angeles (along with a 1977 and 1978 number one pick and an additional second round pick). When the Jazz finished the 1978-79 season with the worst record in the NBA, the Lakers were eligible for one of the top two picks of that draft. Until 1985, the two teams with the worst records flipped a coin to determine which team would receive the top pick. The Lakers won the coin flip against the Chicago Bulls, who selected David Greenwood 2nd. The Lakers selected Magic Johnson

the utah jazz could have started their team with Magic Johnson but New Orleans screwed it up.
 
PG- Magic Johnson, Steve Nash
SG- Gail Goodrich
SF- Ty Corbin
PF- Elvin Hayes, Carlos Boozer
C- Hakeem Olajuwon, Ben Poquette

Truck Robinson

In 77-78, he averaged 22.7 points and 15.7 rebounds, playing all 82 games
In 78-79, prior to being traded, in 52 games, he averaged 24.2 points and 13.2 rebounds.

The perfect compliment to my other starting four. He's a lunchpail guy who can simply be asked to rebound and hep out Shaq down low.
