Former Jazzmen

[Sackataters]

There is the supposition or legend that no one goes on to have any success after they leave the Jazz organization. For the most part, I think there is some credence to this idea. However, there are a few former Jazzmen out there right now doing okay. I was trying to decide if anyone is actually playing better in their career now. Korver seems to be doing really well. I think his 3 percentage is actually lower as a Hawk, but he seems to be having success. Boozers stats are down, but he hasn't been nearly as fragile as a Bull. Going back through history, wondering who the contenders are.

Mo is decent wherever he goes. Same with Matthews. Bell, the first time, had a good run in Phoenix.

I would amend the legend that those who excelled here, did so because of Stockton and Malone taking the attention away from them, the role modelling of the work ethic, etc. Sloan had more control, he had more flexibility on who to choose, and didn't have a youth movement going on/rebuilding. Only those with higher expectations left and not having what they had here, they didn't do as well. Or they weren't good here and we removed them.

Yes, and the system here made average or below average players better. That'd still go with current and recent players, but we've changed due to what I said above.
