NBA Draft 2012: A trip down memory lane to Pick #47 over the last 30 years, and who else is in the neighborhood

You may probably remember UtesFan89's great post on the #47 pick, and recent history in terms of Utah Jazz GM Kevin O'Connor. If not, you can check it here again. Well, The point of this post is simply to list all the guys since the 1982 draft (The last 30 drafts) who were in the #47 spot. Sometimes this was a 2nd round pick, some times it was a 3rd round pick. You know, expansion . . .

Anyway, I thought it would also be interesting to see some of the other players who were in that neighborhood (+3 to -3 picks from the spot #47 . . . so #44 to #50). You might see some interesting faces among the following list. And, have a slight glimmer of hope for the 'type' of player we still have a chance to draft.

Check it out.
