2025 Utah Jazz All-Time Bad Draft

[Coach Ellis]

He was selected already

Yep. He was picked in Round 3

 

[Coach Ellis]

This draft has been a LOT more fun than I thought it would be. It’s fun to see explanations of why a dude was a bust or soft or just plain terrible.

I personally have enjoyed finding ridiculous highlight tapes for all of my picks. The Sasha Pavlovic one is on another level, but the Enes Kanter rookie highlight tape was exceptionally bad as well.

David Benoit I hate him to this day. He almost single-handedly lost us the Western Conference finals versus the Rockets in the mid 90s I think 94-95 or 96. He decided in game 7 I think that he was a 3pt shooter and shot us out. Never forgive him for taking shots Horny or Stockton should’ve been taking. I want to say he shot over half of Utah’s 3’s and missed them all or something like that so yeah David Benoit is my guy

Alright think that’s me up again.

I’m going to take Mark Jackson. Make him play shooting guard. There’s only 5 guys on my team no expectations and no fights for minutes, but I bet he still splits that locker room into at least 3 factions.

Kind of painted myself into a corner with having to take a big. There aren't really available bigs left I'm familiar with who sucked, so a bit of a reach, but he was ***.

Greg Osterrag

Was it Ron Boone that just constantly talked on the broadcasts about how tiny Ostertags hands were?

Gordan Giricek

I mostly remember how much better we were without Giricek on the team and the reported fights with Sloan.

I just went and looked at Basketball Reference and he had a -5.6bpm the last year he played starter minutes for the Jazz.

I was planning on picking Mark Jackson. He was obviously a decent player for his career, but by the time he was on the Jazz he was bad. On top of being bad on the court was the locker room stuff you alluded to. I think he probably should have gone higher in this draft.

Was truly shocked he didn’t go higher. Would have taken him as my third pick if I hadn’t gotten antsy about Morris.
