The Draft: a look at character.

One things for certain, this draft is up in the air. Things will get a little more clear once the players work out. One big thing for the Jazz besides workouts is interviews.  Corbin mentioned that the Jazz place a pretty high priority on character guys which is why those interviews are so important.  So, from what I’ve seen from the NCAA tournament here are a few players I think the Jazz may consider based on their character.  Keep in mind that these aren’t all players the Jazz may take at #3. These are just players the Jazz may consider. I know there is no real way to know.  These possibilities are just based on my limited knowledge.

Brandon Knight- hard worker, good student, no off-court issues, good leader

Derrick Williams- team player, hard worker- showed development in a lot of areas, leadership skills

Kawhi Leonard- extremely hard worker, seems humble, team player

Alec Burks- no off court issues, humble, hard worker

Jimmer Fredette- humble, relentless, plays with heart, good leader

   It depends but like I said only if they are sold on one particular player. I don’t see it. I think KOC is more likely to trade down considering what the Jazz need if the player he wants does not fall to third overall.
