Jazz to work out Georgetown big man Wednesday

Center Hungry? | 6:01 p.m. June 3, 2008

Fesenko was sitting behind the bench the entire postseason. Doesn't that mean that we already have a big 7+ footer ready to fill in? Drop Collins, and why not another shot at a Kirilenko utility player?

Gretzky | 8:42 p.m. June 3, 2008

that's because Boozer is gone in a year to Miami and Williams the year after that to Chicago. it's time to rebuild, trade etc to keep the playoff hopes alive as there will NEVER be a championship team in Utah since the NBA is RIGGED!!!

Re:Gretzky | 9:33 p.m. June 3, 2008

Utah won't have an NBA championship because none of the better players want to live/play in Utah.

Are you an idiot? Miller will be signing Williams to a big contract this summer. No other team can offer a full contract. Boozer may be gone in two years but Williams will be here a long time. Time to rebuild? What are you smokin'? Paul Milsap isn't leaving Utah. He will develop into a 16 point, 12 rebound guy if/when Boozer leaves. We'll be good for a while. Roy Hibbert is pretty good and will continue to improve.

Plaisted? | 10:31 p.m. June 3, 2008

Pass! Plaisted is a joke. I would take a "mini" Jaron Collins over a "giant" Plaisted.

Does anybody remember the Greg Ostertag experiment? By most accounts from folks who have observed him play Mr. Geogetown does not move well and has a poor work ethic. He is another in the long line of big stiffs drafted by the Jazz who did not work out. Can we say L Wright? They have an athletic big man already on the team. Fesenko can fill the defensive and rebounding roll the Jazz need in the 10 - 18 minutes per game allotted for that assignment. While we are at it, tell LHM that Trent P is another stiff not worth drafting. The Jazz need a shot creating forward/2 guard who is athletic. Move up in the draft and get one. It is not brain surgery. The Jazz have a nucleus of a great team, but they need more athletes as demonstrated by our recent play-off run and defeaat.

We should totally take the kid coming out of Vanderbilt!!

Jazzsmack | 12:25 a.m. June 4, 2008

The vanderbilt kid does look interesting.

So does Jason thompson, though they may have move up few spots to get him or perhaps get another team to draft him for them.

He might be the best of the big available in the area they are drafting.

The vanderbilt kid should be available in the second round or maybe even as a invitee, but don't need him unless they move almond, cj, or brewer .

IN the second round, Semih Erden from turkey looks interesting but might be another okur.

Don't draft Hibbert (watched him in person and he is unbelievably slow and lazy) and do everything you can to get rid of Kirilenko and get Tayshaun Prince.

Stern needs to go. We need someone to clean house and restore some faith in the NBA. Most people feel there is something rotten going on.
