Jazz Critera

He meets the criteria.

Whiteness - CHECK
Nobody else wants him - CHECK
Plays a position we don't need help with - CHECK
Had ONE big game against a team from Utah - CHECK

Gimme a break. This dude is a scrub. He should be a backup in Greece or Turkey.

Torch BYU

He at least torched BYU and that is always a good thing. Bring him to camp!

meyoume

Let him play before being a critic. He may be the next John Crotty;)

G-Mac!

One of the best basketball players to come out of my native Northeast PA. Hope he does well.

BYU Fan

After BYU took their zone defense to task, Gerry was their only chance to win and he did. Coaches use tape from that game when playing Jim Boeheim or the zone.

I've always thought he was a late round gem that would work in the Jazz system. Runs the play, shoots the lights out and doesn't complain. Good safe option to have in your back pocket. However, his teammate Hakim Warrick is another player that would work well in the Jazz system.

Re: Jazz Critera

You're an idiot. He is just there for a practice body and to play in the pre-season...who cares about his "critera." Who would you prefer by our 4th string pre-season only PG?

He beat BYU?

WOW!!! What a big feat he's accomplished seeing as BYU has never advanced in the NCAA tourney since I can remeber

We know he is a scrappy player, hustles and can shoot. IF he can defend other guards in the league he has a shot at making the team. But's he is only 6'2" so he'll be likely guarding the point. He is just like Jaycee Carroll. If either were a few inches taller they could be a better version of Korver.

John Crotty?

He may be the next John Crotty? How is that a good thing?

get a real job

Gerry, I hope you have a degree, you will not make the Jazz. Walmart is hiring right now. DO you look good in a blue vest?

JOE

Gerry is a better player than Ronnie Price hands down he shoots better, plays better defense, and is a hustle player

haha

do byU fans have anything good to remember about a NCAA tourney game lately? hA.

Whoopidy Do!!!

Syracuse High School didn't even exist when this article says he played for Syracuse. And they'd never match up a boys high school team against BYU's team. The author obviously doesn't know what he's talking about.

Re: Richard Noel

Hahahahahahaha. Hilarious. Hahahahahaha

Sneaky Jimmy

I think he played for Syracuse High Girls team, Richard.

What are you reading? Let me quote it for you"The 6-foot-2 McNamara was a teammate of Denver's Carmelo Anthony on Syracuse's 2003 national championship squad and finished his college career as one of Syracuse's all-time bests."

That very clearly makes a reference to COLLEGE!!!! It does say his COLLEGE CAREER at Syracuse. Please learn how to read before you post anything.
And if anyone has watched him they know he is a very dangerous player. He hustles and some how makes plays. Too bad he isn't bigger. I wish he was like 6-6 or so then he could play the 2-3 and that would be awesome. Too bad though.

RE: richard

you're not funny or witty so head out

for the record, the jazz already have 15 guys with guaranteed contracts, son it's next to nothing on his chances on making the team

Jazz need bigs not smalls

A decent power forward would be good to bring to camp!
