That was the summer before actually, the Jazz had the terrible season with Booz and Memo and that is what led to Deron being picked.
So Jazz would have had Booze, Memo and most likely either Danny Granger or Channing Frye who the Jazz were reportedly high on, and then taken a small guy like Jack with the late pick. Sloan would have gotten a lot out of Jack imo, he's a solid defender so Sloan would have pushed him a lot harder then the Blazers have, but thank god it turned out how it did.
