Official Player Workouts for the Utah Jazz

[kabenac]

Last year (70+).
Perrin said it would likely be fewer this year because they're having a hard time getting the players slotted 12-20 to come in. Most sure 1st-rounder's only do 8-10 workouts and generally no back-to-backs. But it's really not that big a deal. Most go to the combine for at least the interview portion. Then they have staged workouts in places like NY, Chicago or LA where GM's from several teams attend.

That's pretty amazing. But with such a stacked draft, a few of the late-lottery to late-teen picks are going to slide and wish they had been seen by some other teams. It will be fun to see who slides.

Next Batch is tomorrow:

Aaron Gordon (F – Arizona)
David Stockton (G – Gonzaga)
Adreian Payne (F – Michigan State)
Cory Jefferson (F – Baylor)
Khem Birch (F – UNLV)
Patrick Miller (G – Tennessee State)
Roy Devyn Marble (G – Iowa)
Jerami Grant (F – Syracuse)
Jarnell Stokes (F – Tennessee)

 

[Coach Ellis]

Gordon, Payne and Grant all have 1st round talent. Should be interesting to see how they fare.

 

[Elizah Huge]

Gordon vs. Payne should be very intriguing.

Yep. And then right after that, I'd be putting him up against Grant. I'd want to see that defensive versatility in action. It's too bad that teams can't have current players attend workouts. I'd love to see how he'd fare going from Evans to Hayward to Burks.

Anyone know what time the workout is?

Will Snyder be at the workout?

Burks would destroy him..... no need to embarass the dude and kill his confidence ;-)

May have to trade up for Payne. Some mocks have had him going in the teens. As big as I am on Vonleh, if Lindsey decides Gordon is our man, I wouldn't mind getting Payne later (trading the #23 and #35 to move up).

 

[Jazz4ever]

Unfortunately Perrin will be very tight lipped about how Gordon did. However if they do draft him I will be more confident since they got to see him against some live bodies and feel he's got what it takes.

I'd readily welcome AG as a Vonleh supporter if that's the route we go. I've said several times I like the kid, just has glaring flaws. If we take him and he works past them, I'll buy his jersey. If he doesn't I'll never let certain people hear the end of it.

And if Vonleh becomes an all-star, I'll be bumping some of my posts!

But I agree with you. If Lindsey, Perrin and Snyder pick Gordon over Vonleh, I'm ok with that. Gordon is right after Vonleh on my wish list. He fits our immediate needs a little better, but I just think Vonleh can be an elite talent at the 4.

 

[cowhide]

I would be ok with either Gordon or Vonleh. I prefer Gordon but it is a real small margin. Mostly because I think Gordon can play the three. If the Jazz had only one PF than I would go with Vonleh.
