Jazz Trivia: Expert Edition #1

Posted by Andy Larsen on October 06, 2009

I’m going to try something new:  Every 2 weeks, I’ll put up 5 Utah Jazz trivia questions. You’ll try to answer them in the comments, and I’ll eventually reveal what the correct answers are once everyone has submitted their answers. No researching though! It’s much, much more fun if you just try to guess. If [...]

A couple of weeks ago, we posted information and videos about the “Dodge Barrage”, a charity dodgeball tournament hosted by Deron Williams, Kyle Korver, and their respective charities. In the comments, you all suggested a Jazzbots team, and I was the only one young and foolish enough to think “Hey, maybe that would be a [...]

Why the Jazz Haven’t Won a Title

As you probably know, the Utah Jazz (nor the New Orleans Jazz) have ever won an NBA title. This is pretty surprising, as the Jazz have been a pretty fantastic organization, with only one losing season since 1982-83, or 27 years. We’ve had some excellent players, coaches, and systems in place, and got pretty close [...]

Evaluating Rumored Boozer Trades

An interesting part of the Boozer saga that hasn’t really been talked about enough, is that apparently Boozer’s camp has been going around the NBA and doing the legwork on trades, seeing who is interested in his services. What that means is the Jazz and other teams around the NBA have been presented with some [...]

Andy’s 1st Round Mock Draft

After hearing about all the rumors and thinking about what makes sense for each team, this is how I think the draft will go. Am I completely wrong somewhere? Let me know in the comments.
1. Los Angeles Clippers – Blake Griffin – The obvious 1st pick in the draft. Hopefully the Clippers don’t ruin him.
2. [...]

I would be surprised if the guys in the post featuring #1-15 fell to Utah at #20, so these are the players the Jazz could conceivably draft. Let’s get started:
16. James Johnson – has moved up in a lot in mock drafts since I wrote the last post, and the rumors say the Jazz are [...]

Pick Possibilities: #1-15

Let’s start a new series leading up to the draft, in which I’ll try to estimate the Jazz’ draft board 15 picks at a time. Today, picks 1-15.
1. Blake Griffin (pictured above) – To me, he seems like a Boozer who plays defense and isn’t injury prone, with a slightly worse jumpshot. Other than that, [...]

Jerry Sloan is the subject of much debate among Jazz fans. Some think he’s the key to the franchise’s success, others think he is a coach past his prime. Coaches are hard to evaluate statistically, but I’ll try anyway. In order to do so, we’ll have to look at the characteristics of the Utah Jazz [...]

There’s no doubt in my mind that Deron Williams is the best player on the Utah Jazz. Despite this, Deron is somewhat disappointing statistically. Don’t get me wrong, I like Deron, but he has some pretty glaring statistical flaws that prevent him from being a top 5 player in the NBA. Besides, writing this post [...]

A while ago, I looked at Brevin Knight and concluded that his passing and penchant for thefts on defense made him a better choice than Ronnie Price at backup PG. Since, then several months of basketball have passed, and many think Price would be a better choice at backup point guard, especially because of 8 [...]
