NBA draft: Teams playing name game

Sometimes, though, the comparisons are downright comical.
An unsourced rumor run Tuesday on DraftExpress.com, for instance, said the Jazz "apparently fancy Goran Dragic as a potential backup for Williams a few years down the road, and could take him with the No. 44 pick in the second round. Dragic has two more years remaining on his contract with Tau Vitoria (in Spain), but has a buyout in his contract for one million Euros."
Look up the Slovenian's comparison on the same site, and in the best-case scenario it's Jason Hart — the Jazz's current No. 3 point who last season lost his backup job behind Williams to undrafted Ronnie Price.
