Or maybe, just maybe, the Jazz have been impressed with what they saw and the workout is going really well and the Jazz are quizzing him now.

DUN DUN DUN!!!

Or maybe Vonleh's fat *** had to finish eating some cheese burgers so the workout got started late and now they had to call in an ambulance to put an IV in him, so the workout is being delayed.

Is Vonleh ready for 82 games in Salt Lake or Denver? Walt Perrin says no. But Jazz VP didn't think Vonleh was terribly out of shape today.

Perrin was asked if Vonleh was a top-5 pick. He said, "we'll see."
Really nothing to be gleaned from Perrin's interview. He was asked about how Vonleh would fit with Favors and Kanter and said Vonleh could play with either. Also mentioned he had watched him in HS and he was a perimeter player, but has now added a post game.

My conclusion from all of this is that both Vonleh and Gordon are very raw. Neither will threaten for a starting spot right away. Jazz likely go with the Core5 as the starters and see how they do (wouldn't it have been great to have had them starting together for 70 games last season?). Whoever the Jazz add will strengthen that group's rotation by coming off the bench. I have a gut feeling it will be Gordon.

That's pretty much how I see it too. With Quin Snyder on board, I'm expecting them to go young with upside. Core5 will likely get most of the starter's minutes with other guys filling in as needed and possibly proving that they belong out on the floor.
 
Or both obviously.

Utah Jazz just tweeted that Vonleh seems to have a lot of knowledge about the jazz, organization, and history.

Vonleh's a smart guy, I'll give him that. When he worked out for Boston, he said what a thrill it was because he's from MA. Now he talks about the Jazz organization and history. Sounds like a guy going out on a job interview.
 
Vonleh might be the only player I say hell no to.

We don't need another emotionless, heartless, fat *** big man who thinks he's a shooting guard. Drafting Chris Bosh 2.0 is not the answer. Give me a good role player over a Chris Bosh like "star."

Besides, if we want a stretch 4, why don't we just reup Marvelous?

Use the #5 for a player who actually gives a damn. Someone aggressive. Smart, Exum, Gordon. At least 1 of these will be available when we draft. Hell no to Vonleh.

Saw that tweet. Listened to the interview. Sounds like he knows just about as much about Jazz history as every other prospect that gets asked... "Sloan. Stockton. Malone. Deron Williams. Blablabla" Really whoever tweeted that just has a boner for Vonleh for some reason.
