Which current Jazz player do you think is most likely to join this list? I personally believe it will be Walker Kessler for earning a place on All-Defensive Team.

Edit: OK, the symbols I created to signify award’s are not showing up on my cell, but I assume most of you know who has won what.

Seeing him the last year and the weak play in the playoffs doesn’t move you? He kinda has gotta be good at doing something with a basketball to be that high.

I just listed them by highest award won (e.g., MVP higher than All-NBA 1st Team) with number of wins serving as tie breaker (e.g., three time All-Star beats two time All-Star). It wasn’t meant to be a definitive list of all time greats. If so, Hornacek and Jingles would also be on the list.

I don't think last year had anything to do with what he did for us. He was obviously physically different. He's was either injured or declining, but I don't think he was somehow exposed by going to a new team.

Deron was my favorite jazz player of all time, but I think Gobert is still the better player. Gobert probably should have won at least 5 DPOY and was a huge part of the best offense in the NBA.
 
Rudy and Deron are in one bucket, Donovan and AK are in another. We should’ve been able to trade across timelines because those would be better pairings, and I know which one I would’ve liked more, and which one would have had more success.
 
Lauri climbs the list with more all stars and all NBA teams.

Kessler makes the list with defensive team, maybe all star and all NBA.

Also expect in the next 2 years we add at least 1 all star players through draft or trade.

Also, IMO the ranking of the 1 time Jazz all star players should be: Hayward > AK > Green > Okur > Conley > Lauri. If you want to flip AK and Hayward or Conley/Okur/Green that is reasonable (but wrong) but Lauri has to be at the bottom of the list (only 1 year and didn’t make the playoffs).

I put Lauri ahead of them on tie breaks because he won a second award, Most Improved Player.
 
Where the heck is Jeff Hornacek? Putting Clarkson, and Conley in there before him is hella messed up. Dude helped the team to the finals twice too. He's like top 10 imho.

As I mentioned, this is not a list of the greatest players to play for the Utah Jazz. It’s just a list of Utah Jazz players who won MVP, All-NBA, All-Star, All -Defensive Team, 6th Man, Rookie of the Year, and Most Improved Player awards while playing for the Utah Jazz.
