And people wonder why I never get excited for the draft hehe..
Seems like in years past that whenever the Jazz drafted they got some kind of project type player, that even if the guy was any good you were going to have to wait a few years to see them pan out.
Utah does pretty good drafting later on though... Mark Eaton, Bryon Russel, Shandon Anderson, Andrei Kirilenko, Maurice Williams, Sasha Povolivic, Tim Legler, Andy Toolson, Paul Millsap, Ike Austin etc.
