18 Days

18
Gus Bailey (1978-1979)
Ron Lee (1979)
John Duren (1981-1982)
Kenny Natt (1983-1985)
Pace Mannion (1985-1986)
Tim Legler (1993)

Yes, that Tim Legler actually playedfor the Jazz. Did you know that in 1997 he led the NBA with a .52% from 3pt? Does it surprise anyone that he was only with the jazz for a short time in 1993 and never attempted a 3pt shot?

Yes, Pace Manion is more than a pretty face from KJZZ days gone bye. He shot 18% from 3pt land—a true jazz man.

Kenny Natt the former Jazz assistant Coach (1995-2004), was once a player too. He played for the Jazz twice : 1982-1983 and again in 84-85 in that season he made as many fts as fgs (2). He replaced Reggie Theus as the Sacramento Kings head coach in December 2008 and in his first game as a head coach he beat the minny wolfs 118 -103. Sadly he only won 10 more times before being fired himself, finishing with a record of 11 and 47 which is pretty darn close to .180 winning percentage.

46 people named John Duren in the US, but this is the only one to play for the Jazz. He was drafted 19th by the jazz in 1979, which would have been nice to know yesterday.

Ron Lee is the all time leading scorer for the university of Oregon, and wan an All-American. But in 17 games with Utah (couldn’t they put him in one more game?) he only scored 114 points

Augustus “ Gus” Bailey played for UTEP. Then 2 yrs for the Jazz where he had 18 steals in 50 games.

Gus Bailey had 18 steals in his first year with the Jazz. Bailey was involved in a trade that included a draft pick that was used to select John Lucas. Lucas was later involved in a trade along with the draft pick used to select Tyrone Corbin.

Ron Lee's brother Russ Lee was traded by the Bucks to the Jazz in 1974 along with the pick used to select Rich Kelley (who is 18th all-time for the Jazz in minutes and points). Russ played 15 games for the Jazz and averaged a total of 18 minutes, points, rebounds, assists, blocks, steals, and FTAs per game.

John Duren had 18 steals in his rookie season with the Jazz. He was acquired by the Jazz in a trade that sent Truck Robinson to Phoenix. In his lone full season with the Jazz, Robinson averaged 18 (slightly rounded) rebounds and assists per game to go with his 22.7 points.

In Kenny Natt's second stint with the Jazz in 1984-85, he had a total of 18 minutes, points, FGs, FTs, and steals.

In his first season with the Jazz (1984-85) Pace Mannion had 18 TOs. The draft pick used to select Mannion was traded for Rich Kelley (owner of some #18 rankings with the Jazz).

Tim Legler couldn't quite get up to a total of 18 between all of his stats in his 3 games with the Jazz. Legler was traded from the Washington Wizards (along with a few other guys) to the Magic for former Jazzman Ike Austin. Austin was later traded by the Wizards to the Grizzlies. One of the players the Wizards got in return was Cherokee Parks, who would later wear #18 for the Spurs. The year Parks played for the Spurs (2001-02), the Spurs were #18 in the league in steals.

adrian dantly is #18 on the all-time ranking for PPG in combined NBA/ABA statistics. if we just look at the NBA, #18 is pete maravich.

john stockton holds the 18th highest season assist total in the history of the NBA (of course, he also has the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 9th and 13th highest).

cj miles was barely 18 years old when the jazz drafted him. deshawn stevenson was also 18, which in case was bad news because it meant he could be tried as an adult for things like bar fights and statutory rape. oops.
