The lull between the end of the season and the NBA draft is full of anticipation for what lies ahead, but here we’ll instead take a look back in time to how the Utah/New Orleans Jazz have done in the yearly tradition of selecting young players and praying they turn out well.
Officially, between New Orleans and Utah, the Jazz have taken 50 players between picks one and 30. That total includes picks the Jazz traded away. Take into account the players traded away and traded for, the number of players the Jazz walked home with falls to 45.
