2025 All Time Bad Utah Jazz Draft (SIGN UP, BETTER THAN THEE JAZZ FAN"S DRAFT)

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Do the 1000 minutes have to be with the Jazz, or just total across the NBA?

I was assuming it’s with the Jazz my question would be does that 1000 minutes have to be all totaled with the Jazz or just in one season?

Only Jazz minutes matter

All Jazz seasons combined?

Sounds fun! I’m down.

Im going to organize a new draft. The goal of the draft will be to form the worst possible Jazz team made up from former (or current as sadly a number of players on the roster would make great picks) Jazz players.

We will only draft 5 players. Each team must loosely follow actual team construction (at least one PG and Center). You cant draft 5 really bad centers.

To prevent participants from just drafting absolute scrubs who barely ever played, there will be a minutes played threshold to qualify as a draftable player. The minimum minutes played requirement will be 1000 minutes (so no, Morris Almond would not be draftable).


I have no idea if people will actually be interested in this, but I think it could be fun reliving the worst players in Jazz history. It will be a chill draft. No time limits. We will only be making 5 picks each, so no rush. I have no limit on participation. I will take as many as we can get.

Participants:

1. Saint Cy of JFC
2. SoberasHotRod
3. David Hume
4. Thee Jazz Fan
5. Gunter D
6. Coach Ellis
7. Ferguson_Mellochill

I had to look Almond up. He played less than 300 minutes for us. That’s insane for a 1st round pick. Especially a guy who was drafted for a glaring need and needed so badly. Brotha couldn’t manage to play 20 minutes a game for 15 games for us. In his entire Jazz career.

Don't overthink it

The worst team will be decided by vibes, not a spreadsheet.

Especially since, if I remember, he was absolutely fire in the D League. He held the league single game scoring record for a few years.

 

[GunterD]

Ahh, Mo-be. Good times. I remember Locke one time saying he did a one-on-one drill with Ronnie Price, and Almond just couldn't do anything at all with him, Price just made him look completely out of his league.

Because I am just that nice
(If a guy played multiple positions, if Basketball Reference listed him as a PG or a C in at least one year he played for the Jazz, I put them in that category, since those two are the ones that are limiting. So that's why, for example, you see CJ Miles listed as a point guard).

There are only 167 players who have played 1,000+ minutes for the Jazz. I think you have to keep it to just 5 players. FWIW, I would love to pick someone who currently sits at 760 minutes, so maybe the minute limit can be a little flexible.

I may lower it to like 800+ then

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Im going to cap it at 15 teams, 5 picks, and keep the 1000 minute limit. If we dont get 15, I'll stop signups by Friday.

But he was a g League God.

Did the player in question need to play 1000 minutes with the Jazz, or just in his career?
