Backup PG?

Seriously, Jerome Randal. PIT MVP, PAC 10 Player of the year, lightning quick, elite shooter, good assist numbers, understands how to exploit a matchup as best as he can. Lots of poise.

Only drawback is his size. Very similar to Knight there, but this kid can shoot and score and has legs. He'd be a backup, though, and I'm less concerned with him defending another backup PG than I am seeing the unbelievable dropoff everytime hometown heroic spazz checks in for Deron. This is besides that Randal is a tenacious defender has good fundamentals, and has nice lateral quickness (size just will always hurt there).

Unless Price goes as filler in a deal, Price will be on the team. The Jazz should bring in somebody to compete with Gaines for the roster spot, and the competition for who slots 2 and 3 is wide open. I don't see this as a major concern.
 
I say we pick up Willie Warren in the late first round that Jazz seem to like the combo guards as back up and i think Warren might be pretty decent

From what I hear he's being touted as the 2nd best PG in the draft behind Wall. I doubt he'll be around for our 2nd round pick. If we were able to pick him up I would be very happy.
 
Scottie Reynolds is a chucker that isn't an especially good shooter or especially good playmaker in general. He also isn't particularly quick and brings nothing to the table that Deron doesn't bring in spades. He plays hard but that's about it. I doubt he ever sees NBA minutes.

Also, re: 'Randle ranked 2nd', that's only on DraftExpress (which I'm obviously a junkie of), but in their mock draft they have Randle being drafted 53rd (basing much of that info on apparent interest teams have expressed and/or team needs). NBADraft.net doesn't even have him drafted (even though I think that site is hackville for the most part).

Regardless, I think Randle is going to be in a range where he'd be available (either in the 2nd, as an undrafted FA, or drafted late enough that the Jazz can trade up a few slots for his rights or just buy them outright for less-than-crazy money).

The Jazz desperately need someone else that is a scorer off the dribble, a lights out shooter, and a guy that can make plays for others. The fact that Randle also gives the Jazz an element in speed they simpy do not currently have makes it a homerun. The size and general lack of hops sucks, but I think those factors are quite low as matters of importance for the PG position.
 
Thorpe brought up the idea of drafting Avery Bradley at #9. He said he would be able to play alongside Deron. Does anyone know what kind of shooter Bradley is? Does he have NBA 3 point range? I know he is a great defender, but I don't know much about his offensive game.
