2025 Utah Jazz All-Time Bad Draft

[SoberasHotRod]

When I run this next year it will be much better with better rules so we have more modern players to choose from.

I'm not sure this is an every year type of draft, but yeah, I really wanted to pick Svi who's at like 750 minutes right now.

Thoughts on running this for an all-NBA Crap Team? Change the minimum minutes played maybe.

Good idea, and like @SoberasHotRod said, this probably won't be a fun Jazz only exercise to run every year

 

[SoberasHotRod]

More rule suggestions for future drafts that most will hate, but I think would be fun:

- Every team has to have a current NBA player. Someone who played or is currently playing for the Jazz and was on an NBA roster as of the previous season.
- Every team has to have one player that most posters have never seen. In other words a guy who played pre 90's. I know Cy is kind of trying to avoid this, but it was actually kind of fun to look at the list of players who met the minutes criteria and look up guys I've never heard of or never saw play.

- 700 minutes is kind of a random minutes criteria, but looking at the list, this is what I would recommend.

I don’t hate the minimum minutes played rule overall, but I could see adding an exception so you could take one player for each team that is under the 1,000 minutes rule - no minimum for that one guy on each team. Opens up a wide range of possible teams.

Svi makes the cut next year. Gonna have to fight me for him. . .

Thats real good. I think you are the leader so far.

Edit: Just saw Thee and GunterD teams. Nevermind. This is tough. A total **** show of teams.

I haven't read the entire thread, but surely someone's mentioned Milt Palacio. You know, the journeyman worse than replacement player Jerry Sloan stubbornly started and played ahead of Deron Williams during Deron's rookie year. Sloan had some "old school" rationale for it, I'm sure, which just goes to show that old school doesn't necessarily mean good school.
