Comments about ‘Inside the NBA draft: Shooters’

Morris Almond will be just one more of the players the Jazz reject after their rookie season only to see them go on to solid pro careers on other teams. I wish they would keep just one of these guys.

They are taking that chance with Miles. Every team has guys that get away and become real good players. It was talk like that which led to CJ Miles getting such a big contract last year. They had Miles and Almond, and they are banking on Miles being the better player.

I like Morris Almond, but we have too many players with basically the same skills at the 2 position. The only player that has left the Jazz and gone on to have a solid career is Mo Williams. Shandon Anderson, Bryon Russell, Blue Edwards,Jamie Watson, and DeShawn Stevenson have all left through trades or another offer and none have performed at a higher level. I would say that DeShawn is playing better than when he was with the Jazz, but not at a level that makes me wish he was still on the Jazz.

They gave CJ the big contract because he will be an All Star within the next 3 years. Just wait til next year and he has his coming out party. That will happen when he is on a different team and away from Jerry. Jerry only knows how to run an offense for two guys. It is impossible for a 2, 3, or 5 to be successful scoring under Jerry.

Hey Miles, Jeff Hornacek didn't find it hard to score in Jerry's offense.

Good bye korver and almond, hello toolson!

@Ghost: Hornacek didn't get that many shots compared to Malone. Hornacek didn't average that many points while with the Jazz and they had less scoring options than they do now. With more scoring options on this current team and Jerry still insisting on the two man game, the 2,3 and 5 will not be successful.
