What's new

What scares me for Thursday is

We have to give KOC credit for being consistently good at finding talent in the 2nd round. But the truth is, aside from Deron Williams, his first round draft record is pretty damn terrible.

And Deron was Sloan's choice.

You just have to hope that either the Jazz pull off a surprising trade on draft day or that Walt Perrin has really done his homework right and the Jazz get a gamer at pick 9.
 
Just for kicks, I checked on how many former Jazz draft picks are still in the league - 13, just enough for a full team. Without researching how many draftees from other teams are in the league, I'd say that makes us pretty average at drafting, and with our historically late draft positioning, maybe we even rate above-average. If we reunited all our old picks, our depth chart would look something like this:

PG: D Williams, Mo Williams, Maynor
SG: Brewer, DeShawn Stevenson
SF: CJ Miles, Pavlovic
PF: AK, Millsap, Humphries
C: Koufos, Jarron Collins, Nazr Mohammed.
