The Final 4

by Basketball John on Jan 30, 2009 8:15 AM MST

Well, I don't agree with it, but Boozer got the boot trimming our roster to 4. I think if I run this next year, provided Boozer is still here and healthy, it's a different result. But as it is, here's what we have,

15. Jarron Collins
14. Morris Almond
13. Matt Harpring - aka Tonya Harding
12. Brevin Knight
11. Kyrylo Fesenko
10. Ronnie Price
09. Kyle Korver
08. C.J. Miles
07. Kosta Koufos
06. Ronnie Brewer
05. Carlos Boozer
04. ???

So who makes the Fearsome Threesome? Voting will close at 11:00 a.m. MST.

just curious, did you agree with all the other cuts so far?

Mine have been pretty close.

I haven’t put up my post for the top 5 yet. But here’s 10-6 and this one is 15-11. You could make cases for most of them being moved up or down.

I think this was probably the toughest choice yet

It could go either way between AK and Memo. I chose AK, but I think the two of them are pretty much of equal value for what they bring to the Jazz.

Not even close.

Other than DWill, AK is the most important player on the Jazz. He is one of the top 20 players in the league. There are many guys like Okur, but only one AK.

PS Could Utah get rid of Okur next summer in order to keep Boozer and Mansap?

Agreed on AK

I think we’re seeing that right now with him out.

Millsap is rising on the list right behind him….

AK one of the top 20 players in the L?

I don’t buy that. I could name 20 better players off the top of my head, in no particular order: Lebron, Kobe, CP3, Deron, Dwight, KG, Duncan, D-Wade, Bosh, Yao, Dirk, Granger, Amare, Brandon Roy, Paul Pierce, a healthy Boozer, a healthy McGrady, Antawn Jamison, Caron Butler, Joe Johnson. And arguably, Millsap.

He’s extremely versatile, a great defender (better than many on that list), etc. But right this second, top 20 in the league? Doubtful.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?
