Also, gatta ask, who else immediately thought 'Some White Guy' when Stern read the name 'Kevin Murphy' on draft night?

The Jazz draft white guys to almost the exact percentage that they draft black guys now days.
So.....
Not really.

When Stern said he was a Republican from Tennessee I pretty much assumed....

I hope Utah's luck at 47 continues.

I always love rookies. Even if they suck.

Gonna have a lot of fun watching this kid.

i'll bet lots of people remember saying that about cj miles!!

the comparison between the two strikes me.
if murphy sticks around in the league for as long as cj he'll have done pretty well i guess.

I wonder if anyone calls him "Murph"

What do we think of that for a nickname? Think it would stick?

Uh...Stern only handles the first round, no?

I did enjoy watching CJ at times. His problem isn't talent, it's consistency. Anyway, 'Tex' is a second round pick so there's no real risk in keeping him around.

CJ Miles a was huge question mark coming out of High School. Kevin Murphy has college experience. And really, CJ WAS kind of to watch for the first few seasons.

It was once we realized that CJ actually REGRESSED year after year that made us all turn on him.
