Quin Snyder isn't with the team this week, but he'll play a major role in workouts when he returns. Assistant Brad Jones runs the workouts.
Per DJjazzy Jody....walt Perrin reminds him that Bryce Cotton was in the first group last year. This draft doesn't have any stars. And Jerry Sloan was there today with DoL.
Jazz have another workout tomorrow.

And I think these workouts help create a "watch" list...players who aren't ready now but show some promise and might develop in the DLeague or overseas. I'm sure the Jazz had kept tabs on Elijah. Obviously they knew Jingles was a decent player. So hidden gems like a Matthews or getting a look at the next Cotton. Contributors may come from various places...and who knows when that 11th/12th guy on the roster may need to step up.
Jazz working out Richaun Holmes tomorrow. He is actually projected to be a 2nd rounder and is very intriguing.
Here are some of the players that will be worked out tomorrow:
Holmes, Scott and Atkins are top 100 prospects on DX's list. All of them are more recognizable than the players we worked out today.
Lol at Utah including phonetic pronunciations for Traevon and Richaun.
Atkins has some nice measurements.
6'7 with a 7'2 wingspan and 240 lb frame. 30'' no-step vertical. Undersized and strong athletic 4.
6'7 with a 7'2 wingspan and 240 lb frame. 30'' no-step vertical. Undersized and strong athletic 4.
Yah, Virginia played excellent defense altogether. He's a well-coached player for sure.
I wonder what the numbers included mean? Do you think it's possible they are numbers of the players on our board? Lol, that would be really sloppy...

Scott and Jackson had very modest numbers and shooting percentages their last year.
It's the jersey numbers they wear. You get some kind of jersey that you keep when you come in for a workout. Some guy at school here has one from when he worked out for the Pacers.
Walt Perrin said today after the workout that this was one of the best pre-draft workouts he's had, one of the most intense, most well paced and competitive workouts and said they are extremely happy with all the players:

“Dennis has always said no matter how many of these workouts we do — and we try to do a lot of them — if we get one (player), it’s been successful,” Perrin said. “So all of the workouts we did last year were successful because we got Bryce Cotton out of it.”
Seems to be the case that no team taps into this source more then the Utah Jazz. I think they entertain more players in this manner then anyone else.....

I think it's a combination of both. Jazz get an idea of the type of player someone is, his athleticism, etc. via the workouts. Could be a deciding factor if there are 2-3 players they're considering for 10-days. This year there's an added reason to bring in a lot of players since the Jazz now have their own DLeague team.

Good article in the DN today about T.J. Price and Jeremy Evans and what a good guy Jeremy is and how T.J. wants to emulate him. Price had good stats at WKU.
There are a decent amount of dudes putting up very good stats in the D-League. Why didn't we get those guys instead? It's not just fluff.

From Lockes summary of Lindsey's radio bit this morning
https://weareutahjazz.com/lockedonjazz/2015/05/21/insider-dennis-lindsey-on-the-draft-process/
The crew is on the West Coast to see agent sponsored workouts. They are currently in Santa Barbara. Remember the Jazz have the strong tie with P3 where numerous draftees are working out including Kelly Oubre Jr.
Also...
More players than normal in the 12th spot are in play. That is what is unusual of this draft. Usually a tighter set of prospects
