He has yet to sign a contract so DL could tell him to go to Europe, Korea, Australia and the Jazz can keep his rights. Whoever on the scouting staff thought he was the 2nd coming ought to be sweating now.

Hanlan won't make the roster and we know that. You can send him overseas or drop him into the DL, but the knock on him is that he's already 22 years old. Not old by any means, but I would have hoped he'd have shown a bit more vs. guys that are 2-3 years his junior.
Nothing the FO does is by chance so my guess is that they think he can be a competent scorer off the bench and will truly evalulate him during training camp when matched against our other guards. If he doesn't pan out and we simply have to cut him, keep yourself grounded in the fact they're we're talking about the #42 overall pick of the second round. Take additional comfort in the fact that you can gamble on guys like this when you have four #2's in 2016 and four #2's in 2017. Are all of those eight potential picks going to make the roster? Of course not so don't be disheartened when they don't.

That all sounds like bologna to me (HAM JOKE ALERT).
The two players drafted immediately following deli-meat 'select cuts' were intriguing prospects in my mind. Joseph Young #43 and Andrew Harrison #44. They have both been playing really well in the D-League so far and making for competition in the locker room for minutes on their respective teams. I figure that if you are drafting at #42 you are looking to grab a player with specific 'nba skills' (like rebounding in the case of Millsap) OR you are trying to pick up a player who can create competition at a spot. Joseph Young and Andrew Harrison may have been no-goes because we have Bryce Cotton (similar to Joseph Young) and Neto (a point guard from a previous draft) both in camp. If so, why grab a 6th point. That would be good thinking if we didn't sign a 6th Ham-balaya. But really since we were going for a combo guard, early signs show that Mighty Joe Young may have been the better choice here.
Shaking my ham in disapproval. BRA!

To me what makes this pick so disappointing is that Kyle Korver, Mo Williams, Boozer, Okur and Paul Millsap were drafted in the 2nd round. Maybe the guy will get his stuff together by training camp but I kind of doubt it.

Guess the Han, or is it the Ham, has been officially canned.
pretty sure we can't send him overseas unless he agrees. but if wanted to stay and play in the NBA (and plenty of teams apparently liked him) and we don't offer him a contract (or don't have the roster space to offer him one) he would be free to sign anywhere.

Why would that be? Just making an observation. He knows he has played horribly. Maybe the second worse among those on the team. Only one other guy has been worse, who has dreads, or sort of dreads. Not sure his name.

Pepe amigo, I was sad to see Jose Ortiz in the Mt. Flushmore of the Jazz forum, you may want to check it out.
