Rayvonte Rice seems like he could be worth a look at the end of the 2nd, or in free agency, I think he'd be getting drafted for sure if not for breaking his hand. Mostly just not sure about his fit with us.

Rice's idols growing up were DWill and Dee Brown.

I can support that, I might admit to rocking a headband just like Dee's once or twice, loved that Illini team. All things considered he doesn't really play like either one of them, seems like a solid scorer, but shooting only really picked up in his senior season.

SALT LAKE CITY — And so the parade of potential draft picks begins.

The Utah Jazz will host six players on Wednesday for their first pre-draft workout, leading up to the June 27 NBA draft.

The first group includes all college seniors. Underclassmen who declared for the draft are unable to work out for teams until after next week's draft lottery concludes.

Wednesday's bunch includes five guards and one forward: 6-foot-8, 215-pound G Russell Byrd, Master's College; 6-foot-4, 178-pound guard Denzel Livingston, Incarnate Word; 6-foot-9, 200-pound forward Maurice Ndour, Ohio; 6-foot-4, 210-pound guard D.J. Newbill, Penn State; 6-foot-4, 230-pound guard Rayvonte Rice, Illinois; and 6-foot-5, 203-pound guard Trey Zeigler, TCU.

This group will hope to replicate what Bryce Cotton did. The point guard worked out for the Jazz in their first pre-draft group last year and was later signed to a contract by Utah, even ending the season with a string of solid performances.

Some of these guys have some gaudy college stats. Doesn't mean they can guard anything or play team ball.
 
My stats in rec ball this year were pretty impressive as well. 7 Pts, 1 rbd, 0 assts, 7 to's. Sign me up!

Quin Snyder isn't with the team this week, but he'll play a major role in workouts when he returns. Assistant Brad Jones runs the workouts.

Per DJjazzy Jody....walt Perrin reminds him that Bryce Cotton was in the first group last year. This draft doesn't have any stars. And Jerry Sloan was there today with DoL.

Jazz have another workout tomorrow.
 
I absolutely love that the management is spending the money to turn over every rock and look around every corner to find a hidden gem. It will pay off in the long run!

And I think these workouts help create a "watch" list...players who aren't ready now but show some promise and might develop in the DLeague or overseas. I'm sure the Jazz had kept tabs on Elijah. Obviously they knew Jingles was a decent player. So hidden gems like a Matthews or getting a look at the next Cotton. Contributors may come from various places...and who knows when that 11th/12th guy on the roster may need to step up.
