Marcus Smart Turned The Jazz Down For A Workout Four Times

From that article:



Perhaps my reading comprehension needs work, but aren't Randle, Vonleh and Gordon all top ten prospects who have worked out for the Jazz in Utah?

They are calling smart a top ten prospect. Not all top ten prospects just a top ten prospect. Could be read your way but based on context definitely what the author meant.

it is notable that the Jazz have been unable to bring in a top-ten prospect (smart) with a week left before the draft.

Smart is not the smartest guy.

Tweets that a team is not interested in him, without even knowing the whole story.

Then refuses to come into a workout for a team in the draft with the #5 pick.

Who knows though, maybe he has a promise from Orlando.

Orlando would be an ideal spot for him to be honest. Him and Oladipo are defensive players. With them together, they'd be really good backcourt.

The only thing that would make sense in the slightest would be if he had a promise from the Lakers or some other team he would rather play for.. but it would still be dumb, imo.

Then why is he on the internet saying the Jazz haven't shown any interest in him. Dude flat out lied.

I didn't take up for him at all. I said he's dumb. Not sure how what you asked is relevant to what I said, but it's okay, we agree.
 
I now have a reason to hate Marcus Smart. I hope he is picked by the Lakers and ends up being the biggest bust of the draft.
 
The only thing that makes sense to me is that he: 1- Is a liar 2- Starts unnecessary drama 3- is a bad shooter.
If I was to guess he either has a guarantee from Orlando. Boston or Lakers. With a stipulation that he won't work out for the Jazz and possibly other teams? All I know is he seems like a punk, especially now.

4 times? Can the Jazz not take a hint? Don't be that guy Utah Jazz.

Or it could be a clever CYA move. If they Jazz pass on Mr. Piece of Crap at #5 and he eventually turns out to be the next DWade, Jazz brass can defend themselves by saying they tried their best but he simply did not want to play for the Jazz.
 
How much of this could be blamed on Smart's agent? He's looking at where Smart has best opportunity to start and get playing time.

Jazz interviewed Smart in Chicago. And Perrin called Smart after the tweet to let him know the Jazz have interest. In the past, Jazz have drafted guys without ever having them in for a workout.

I thought about that, but I doubt they've been able to bring in Exum, Embiid, Wiggins or Parker either. So I'm not sure why one more would be notable. Unless they said it is notable that they haven't been able to bring in a prospect rated in the 5-10 range.
 
Typical message board overreaction. Calling him stupid when you have so little information isn't really the most intelligent thing to do. It could be a promise from another team which is quite common or he just may not want to play in Salt Lake. Either way this is almost certainly the doing of his agent and not his call.
