Official Player Workouts for the Utah Jazz

[Stifle Tower]

@davidjsmith1232: Like last year, the Jazz will have mini workouts w/ free agents. So far, names I've seen: James Nunnally, Jack Cooley, Tyler Honeycutt.

Cooley played with Houston and Memphis in the summer leagues and had some training camp invites but chose to sign a more lucrative deal with a Turkish team instead.

hes very foul prone but can rebound and contest shots

Lebron was a guaranteed, cant miss player. Zero bust potential

Same was said about Ralph Sampson and Len Bias (to perhaps a lesser degree than LeBron).

Bad example, he died. We do not know if he would have been amazing or a bust.

can't say about this guy. hated his shot selection. would struggle against even normal defenses.

With 15 roster spots, I say reserve 2 for the meanest, nastiest, most fiery players we can find. Have them bang on Favors, Kanter and Hayward during practice. Get them fist pumping during time outs. Jazz played way too passively. The team needs some players to bring attitude.

I'd like that too. But with less injuries if I may please.

Yeah, the kid in Trabzonspor. What a horrible decision for himself. Though I don't think he would make it in the NBA but I bet he didn't find what he was imagining in Trabzonspor, except the money of course.

Anyway, he is undersized for center, slow for PF and has mediocre talents on the offensive side (good rebounder though). I can't even think a reason for the Jazz to have a workout with him. I guess, it's an agent/business thing.

Great business decision. Unlikely to make a roster but would have had a training camp invite and made only $20K. Instead he signs a guaranteed deal in Turkey.
This is one of the reasons the NBA is looking into changing the structure of the D-League. It's a terrible option for players just a tier below the NBA. They can go to Europe and earn much more. D-League salaries will have to be raised substantially at some point.
