Agreed. And now that I think about it Jeff Malone was a disappointment. No range on his jumpshot, bad back and slow feet. It was a rough stretch looking for a replacement for Bobby Hansen and the Golden Griff.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Malone part of the package that got us Hornacek in a trade? If true, then God bless Malone, he did more for us than many another Jazzman.
DeShawn Stevenson. Just because I was still at an age where I bought into draft hype and it was pre-youtube where we couldn't see any videos of the guys. I think nbadraft.net even had his comparison being Michael Jordan at the time, and while I never was naive enough to believe he would be that good, I figured he had to be a lot better than he would eventually show out to be for anybody "professional" to even go there. And then I saw him for the first time in person in his first summer league and he still had me convinced he would become a Jazz building block. Not so...not so.
Utah also kicked in a late 1st-rounder. Regardless, an absolute steal.Yes, the trade was essentially Jeff Malone for Horny. With maybe some filler.
I actually forgot "You cant see me" DeShawn, good call....he is right up there for sure. I remember thinking OMG, the Jazz took a chance and drafted a high school kid that is black instead of a 4 year in college white stiff.. I was excited as hell and sorta bought into the hype at the time.

What do I mean? I mean what I said, fairly simple.What do you mean?
Just when the Jazz turned Stevenson into the role player they wanted, they traded him for junk.
Not to mention the guy is still in the league over 10 years later.
He's clearly one of the 5 percenters that stay in the league that long.
I would have to say Kosta Koufus, at least of recent history. I thought we had gotten a steal with a slightly more mobile version of Okur, but we just got a scrub with confidence issues.
