2020 Jazzfanz all time Jazz draft, and renaming of TJF Sweepstakes!!!
- Thread starter Thee Jazz Fan
- Start date
I dont mind my Trio so far. I have a pretty defense oriented tough grind it out players.
Matt Harpring
Paul Millsap
Mark Eaton
I think Millsap actually had his best season as a Jazz player. His best PER season was with the Jazz in the regular season and his best PER playoff was with the Jazz.
Mark Eaton is pretty slow getting up and down the court but was still pretty quick in the half court and set up fast breaks a lot. I bet he has a decent number of hockey assists getting the ball out quick to Stockton already on the run. He obviously is one of the greatest shot blockers of all-time. He still holds the record for most Blocks in a season at 456 and a bunch of other seasons really high on that list. 5th most blocks in his career and also the most blocks per game for career and single season. Maybe the greatest shot blocker ever? He played at the same time as Hakeem and out did him defensively.
Then you add in Harpring. Did you know he played football?!
Now lets see what I can scrape together for the rest...
Serious question. Who would trade Malone for these 3 straight up in their prime in real life or in this type of competition?
For the sake of this competition with limited ability to build around someone long term then its actually close for me. For a real team thats an solid no to that offer.

Good lord that joke is as old as dirt.
This sounds like every owner that’s ever talked about his team he’s drafted. Lol. No one has ever come on and said they aren’t that impressed with their team. Lol

You do realize block numbers across the board were higher in the 90’s than they are now with how wide open everything is, and I think Eaton would struggle a bit in today’s outside and wide open game.
he would struggle to guard on the perimeter and in pick’n roll situations like crazy, and honestly he’d have his minutes reduced. Big time.
It's impossible to say harprings name without pointing out he played football, shame on you.
What you are saying in that second paragraph and what you are quoting don't match up. At no point did I say in that I'm quite impressed with my team. I was pointing out that even my 3 picks don't match 1.
He might struggle in today's game a little with that. Fortunately these matchups are just jazz players. No one is running a modern game with good players.
Also yes, block numbers were higher then. But he was still the best at it. Even in comparison to Hakeem which you have said is the best defensive center ever. Hakeem would also struggle with today's game in a similar effect on defense but would still be good.

@Ellis269 had a cool idea to make voting portion of the draft more interesting. I’m just going to post Ellis’s message to me here. Let me know what you think. I like it though.
Basically in the final two rounds, you steal a player from the losing team you go up against. In the championship round both teams will have full ten man rosters.
From Ellis269:
1st round - narrows it down to 8 teams (6 winners + top 2 losers) and reseed. No steals.
2nd round - the 4 winners get to steal any bench player from the teams they beat to advance to semifinals.
3rd round - the top two winners get to steal any starter from the teams they beat to advance to finals.
Finals - Top 2 teams have a full roster of 10 players that gets stronger as they advance.
Thoughts? Interesting idea? Or not so much? It adds another layer of strategy to team building and keeps everyone interested and invested all the way through the voting portion of the draft.
