yeah Palacio and Hart need to be way way low...but not lower than Ameachi. Damn what a bum that guy was. Also, I'm interested in where Ostertag ranks. I know I will catch flack for this but I believe he was far more important to the Jazz than he ever got credit for. During his contract years he shut down the Dream and the Diesel and got us into the Finals. And by shutdown, I mean SHUTDOWN! Those guys had subpar series against Greg.....

Re: Top 214 Jazz Players in History
Apparently this dude @ 210 Eric White was signed to the Jazz on a 10 Day Contract because the Jazz lost two players due to a New Years Eve party fight in 1989. Never heard that one before.
Still no Louis Amundson? How many minutes did that dude play? Did he score?

I know there's only 214 slots, but John Amaechi should still be around 330 or so.

During Shaq's dominant years there were only 2 centers that had a winning record against the big diesel and they were Hakeem Olajuwan......................and the big dumby Greg Ostertag. I think he was a big reason why the Jazz made it to the finals. Plus if you were gonna make an all Jazz team who would you put ahead of Tag for the Center position, Eaton yes; who else though.........

Re: Top 214 Jazz Players in History
Tim Legler makes the list! ESPN in the house!
Also crazy Keon Clark. I will never forget that footage of him riding that mini-bike (or something) around at the Jazz practice facility they showed on opening night that season. He did bring us that Knicks pick in a weird way.

Did Ben Handlogten ever play any regular season minutes for your guys? All I remember about him is how incredibly stupid his last name was.

Hand + Log + Ten played a decent amount of minutes and I know he was much liked on this board

Re: Top 214 Jazz Players in History
Handlotion was better than a scrub but worse than an important role player. He was an over achiever and a likable guy on an over achieving team.

Re: Top 214 Jazz Players in History
I saw a link for a few seconds on the sltrib page and I think Robert Whaley was on the list. But I didn't click on the link and it's gone now. **** Whaley.
I found the link again. At #189 Robert Whaley, at #188 William Cunningham.

Whaley!? Really?! What about Kris Humphries??? I thought Whaley contributed more than Humphries did. What about Hoffa?? Did his one nice defensive game against Duncan put him in the Top 150?

Re: Top 214 Jazz Players in History
Humph finally makes the list! Kirk Snyder watch begins.
I remember Aleksandar Radojevic. He was a giant. I dont remember him grabbing as many rebounds as the article claims.
