Jazz Pre-Draft Workouts

Do favors and make friends when your drafting 30th not 3rd... When your in the bottom 3rd of the league and drafting in the lottery - do yourself a favor.

It's not just a favor, although that's often the case and tradition with local players. You never know when someone might impress, not enough to take #3 or maybe even #12, but if the Jazz DON'T re-sign AK, they'd have enough cash to buy a later pick: $3M has been the price in the last few drafts. Get a young prospect for $3M and yuo're comitted to a low-priced guaranteed contract for a couple of years. That's not too bad a deal for teams that have space under the tax.

Also, Jazz could buy or trade for a second rounder. Gotta cover all the bases, including looking for guys you think might go undrafted.

So you are telling me you knew Matthews would be as good as he is now before the 2009 draft?

Anyway, I was just saying that Liggins would most likely be drafted in the second round.

No, I was just saying that just because a guy is a player doesn't mean that he will be drafted.

The one I watched he sounded humble to me. He acknowledged that he probably will come off the bench for his team first rather than saying he would be the ROY like Snyder did.

DX 'What kind of player do you see yourself as?'

MB 'I think I can come off the bench and be a part of the team (coached answer) and then after I get acclimated, I see myself as a big-time scorer. (thaaat's the guy people are concerned with coming through)'

So humble. Especially coming from a guy that worked hard to get his and not to win.
 
Jazz brass, including general manager Tyrone Corbin and general manager Kevin O'Connor, will get a chance to work out and interview Turkish center Enes Kanter in the Windy City on Thursday and Friday.

The Jazz are going to workout Kanter for two days and are getting to him before any other team, they are definitely doing their homework.

Is that a quote? Please identify the source since it is calling Corin the general manager.

That's not too bad. The kid is trying to sell himself to be a first round pick and you have to be confident. Brooks is very humble compared to Chris Singleton... who claims himself the "modern-day Pippen".
 
I believed the talk that Marshon was full of himself until I watched his interview at DX. I thought he seemed alright.
 
If there's a white senior bench player from BYU who averaged 9 points a game in college, you can bet he'll be in for a workout with the Jazz.
