Utah Jazz

The second day of Jazz workouts again brought four seniors to the Zion’s Bank Basketball Center. Since the list of declaring underclassmen is not yet final, those who enter the draft will not begin workouts until later.

This morning the Jazz brought in Ryan Gomes of Providence, Sharrod Ford from Clemson, Dijon Thompson from UCLA, and Jason Maxiell of Cincinnati. The players worked out under the supervision of Jazz coaches and basketball operations personnel for nearly two hours Thursday morning. Lots of Utah Jazz Tickets. "We want to see how hard they play, how much they listened to what our coaches are trying to them to do, see how focused they are,” said Jazz coach Jerry Sloan. “I think some of those things are important in basketball and moving on as a player. If you can’t listen, can’t hear what’s going on, it’s going to be difficult to improve as a player”

“They’re four kids who had very successful college careers, at very successful Universities,” said Jazz VP of basketball operations Kevin O’Connor. Interestingly, all four players are considered undersized power forwards who will likely have to learn the small-forward spot in the NBA.
