Jamaal Tinsley signed with the Jazz on December 10, 2011. In the one game he started for the Jazz, he had 6 rebounds to go with 9 points and 13 assists in a loss to the Warriors. Tinsley had 6 offensive rebounds last year. He had 6 turnovers in the playoffs (against 12 assists).
If 60% of eligible voters voted I'd be thrilled. I say it is closer to 35%.
6 Hall-of-Fame players have played for the Jazz. Granted, one of them had a very short stint.
6 former Jazzmen have the distinction of playing just one game with the Jazz: Walt Bellamy, Louis Amundson, Sean Green, Dave Jamerson, Darren Morningstar, and Eric White. The only mention of Amundson in his game's box score is that he played 2 minutes. That's it. Walt Bellamy scored 6 points in his game. Sean Green, like Amundson, played just 2 minutes. He did manage to put up a FGA which he missed. Dave Jamerson had 1 point and 1 rebound in 4 minutes (1+1+4=6). Darren Morningstar scored two points on perfect 1-1 shooting. Eric White played two minutes, committed a foul, and missed his only FGA.
