Bryant has too low of a basketball IQ for Sloan. The guy isn't very smart.

I think its pretty obvious JB isnt going to be considered by the Jazz or anyone else for that matter, they are just bringing him in to pass the ball to Hibbert. Oh and to get free gear. No need to bash him.

^Plus he plays for the Utes. Probably a publicity thing.

I had several classes with the guy...

He should have made it clear in his post that he isn't being considered.

And since when has anybody care about bashing somebody?

He's a future Euro, but he should be able to make some money overseas so that will be cool for him.

"Hibbert for his part, said that Utah was "a must" on his list of team that he had to work out for. He told the gathered media that he has video of most of Carlos Boozer's in game post touches in a library he used to better his own game by watching how Boozer scores around the hoop. He also talked about how he'd love to be "a cog" in the Jazz system and sees it a perfect fit for his game."

Lots of audio there too.

Don't forget, there are multiple leagues that watch the predraft process very closely. These leagues will all pull from the same pool of talent.

There's no question JB will never be an NBA player, but the workout could help scouts for the Utah Flash have a look at him, or the Jazz could be looking at him for a team in Europe.
