Jazz Take Koufos

Kosta Koufos – Is it all that you were hoping for? After all the waiting, the Jazz drafted what appears to be a younger version of Memo Okur. Maybe that will work out in the Jazz favor – he should fit well within the system – but can he take minutes away from Millsap?
It’s not [...]

Anyone Looking to Trade?

What do Tim Duncan, Shaquille O’Neal, Ben Wallace, and Kevin Garnett have in common? Each of the aforementioned giants has assumed the role of interior defensive enforcer at some point in his career. Anything else? No team since Michael Jordan’s Bulls has won a championship without employing one of these four players. [...]

Roy Hibbert

Roy Hibbert has to be the fan favorite. Partly because he is 7’2” – partly because more than half the mock drafts say he would be a good fit – Partly because he is educated and a student of the game. But is he the right guy?
There is a reason he is not being projected [...]

Serge Ibaka

Serge Ibaka if selected by the Jazz will be absolutely no help this upcoming season. He probably won’t even be ready to help the year after that either. He is a guy that carries the somewhat sought after, somewhat feared label “Potential.” Serge is very young and will turn 19 in September. Growing up in [...]

Jason Thompson didn’t go to a big school. In fact 4 years ago at 6′6” tall, Jason signed to play basketball at Rider University in his home state of New Jersey. It wasn’t the Division I program he had dreamed of – but it was still college basketball. Now a Senior – He stands [...]

Great Expectations?

Picking the draft is like picking the NCAA Basketball Tournament. No one picks it perfect, but everyone tries. It only takes one “upset” to throw all the predictions off and crash the whole board. Some highly thought of guys are going to slide, and there will be a surprise first round pick that everyone will [...]

With the 2008 NBA Draft only a few days away many Jazz fans (including myself) have been scouring the internet and listening to talk radio trying to figure out what Jazz mastermind Kevin O’Connor and crew might be planning to do with the 23rd pick. [...]

What should you get as an NBA team from your pick. I broke down the every draft from 1997 to 2006. I gave each players one of the following six labels, all pro, all star, starter, rotation, fringe or zero.
What should you get.
The Jazz pick 23rd this year.
Over the past 10 drafts picks [...]

‘Jazz Bound?’ (Jim O’Connor/US Presswire - Haraz Ghanbari/ AP)
I have been intrigued by the stats, size, and interviews of a couple of players thus far. First and foremost: Roy Hibbert
Yes, just like everyone else his 7′2″ 270 lb. frame has me enamored. Not only does he appear to have the agility most big men lack, [...]

The Utah Jazz have given me access to videos of some of the players that will be available in the proximity of the Jazz pick . Between now and the draft I will do scouting reports on these players. I chose the players I wanted to scout there was no direction [...]
