2nd Annual Jazzfanz Jazz Fantasy Draft

[calijazz]

With the 9th pick, I select G Jeff Malone. Averaged 18.3 PPG in 4 seasons with the Jazz.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Okay - Throw everyone a curve here. Though he was never meant to be a good college player, let alone pro, this man persevered and thrived (a true trademark of the Jazz, right?).

Gail Goodrich (Hall of Famer) and was the leading scorer for the team that won a still-record 33 straight games (unfortunately that was for the *gulp" Fakers). 5 Time All Star and averaged 18.6 ppg over 14 seasons in the NBA.

Don't know how to post a pic on this forum (embarrased), but here's the link.

With the 11th pick I select...



Jeff Hornacek

Horny was the missing piece to the puzzle for the jazz to make it through the west.

I just watched a retro game the other day and he was not just a great shooter but he can make some really difficult shots look easy

Even in his last year with the jazz he was shooting at a really high %, the guy was good

With the 14th pick I select..



Memo Okur

After Eaton went I figured I grab the next best center. I didn't want to have to draft Ostertag or Felton Spencer

15th Pick

Bill Bellamy - Had a stellar 14 year career in the NBA and was the NBA first overall draft pick in 1961. Bellamy was named the NBA Rookie of the Year in 1962 after having arguably one of the three greatest rookie seasons in NBA history (along with Wilt Chamberlain and Oscar Robertson). His 31.6 point per game average that season is second all-time for a rookie to Wilt Chamberlain's 37.6, and the 19.0 rebounds per game he averaged that season is third best all-time for a rookie (to Chamberlain and Bill Russell). Bellamy also led the NBA in field goal percentage in his rookie season, and had a 23 point 17 rebound performance in the 1962 NBA All-Star Game.
Bellamy ended his NBA career with 20,941 points and 14,241 rebounds. Bellamy was elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1993.

Bellamy was the starting center on the gold medal-winning American basketball team at the 1960 Summer Olympics.

No coward HERE!

#1: I think you mean Walt Bellamy, rather than Bill Bellamy. https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/bellawa01.html
#2: The teams are being judged on how those players played while on the Jazz, not their entire career. That probably should have been clarified before, but I confirmed that with Stern via PM. Walt Bellamy only played one game for the New Orleans Jazz and scored six points. Not a pick you probably want considering that.

Just trying to help...

 

[David Stern]

Yeah calijazz is right. I mean, I could pick Hayward now based completely on his NCAA tournament, but that would kind of defeat the purpose of a Jazz Mock Draft. So PKM, i'd pick again.
