Jazz likely won't camp with 5 picks

The Jazz currently own five selections in the June 28 NBA Draft.

Two come in the first round. The exact position of one of those will be determined in Tuesday's draft lottery and could fall anywhere from No. 1 overall to No. 7. The other is No. 27 and originally belonged to Dallas before the Jazz acquired it in a draft-night swap that sent 2004 first-round pick Pavel Podkolzin to the Mavericks.

Three others fall in the second round, at Nos. 34, 51 and 60 overall.

But don't necessarily expect the Jazz to use all five on picks that will be in training camp come October.

"That's not likely," said Kevin O'Connor, the Jazz's basketball operations senior vice president.

Instead, the Jazz could trade away one or more of their picks. Another option is to draft an international player who is not brought over right away, much like what happened with forward Andrei Kirilenko after he was drafted in 1999.

"Those are some of the things we are going to consider," O'Connor said.

MAJERUS TUTORING WILLIAMS: Ex-University of Utah coach Rick Majerus spent the past week in Milwaukee working out a small group of draft prospects that included University of Illinois point guard Deron Williams.

Williams is considered a potential top-five pick, and the Jazz are said to be quite fond of him.

"He's a better player than I thought, and I thought he was really good," Majerus told the Chicago Tribune.

According to the Chicago newspaper, "Majerus said Williams will impress teams with his pass-first approach and his improved 3-point shooting from NBA range. Williams still must progress in several areas, and Majerus reminded him of one weakness Wednesday night.

" 'You have the (John) Stockton problem: unselfishness to a fault,' " Majerus told Williams after he passed up an open shot during a scrimmage.

REALLY TALL: The Jazz recently dispatched scout Troy Weaver to watch 7-foot-8, 360-pound Chinese draft prospect Sun Ming Ming work out in North Carolina.

"He has a good shooting touch and a decent feel for the game," Weaver told the Los Angeles Daily News. "He doesn't have great lift off the floor. He really has to improve his footwork as far as moving side to side and getting up and down the court."

Sun is not among 35 international players who declared themselves eligible as early entrants for this year's draft.
