Hope you all had a good father's day. Estimated 100 million cards were given yesterday, I got one that said "badby," two of my five sons are learning to write and they get the b's and d's mixed up sometimes. Great day. 

Here we go, the Jazz links.  

Here is your Green Room list for Thursday night, if you haven't seen it already. 

Kyrie Irving (Duke), Derrick Williams (Arizona), Brandon Knight (Kentucky), Kemba Walker (UConn), Kawhi Leonard (San Diego State), Chris Singleton (Florida State) Klay Thompson (Washington State), Jimmer Fredette (BYU), Alec Burks (Colorado) as well as twins Marcus and Markieff Morris (Kansas).

Three international players -- Enes Kanter (Turkey), Jonas Valanciunas (Lithuania) and Jan Vesely (Czech Republic) -- made the cut.  Byiombo is not on the list. 


Could the Utah Jazz take a defensive guy like Singleton?
Jody Genessey---  I think defense is a state of mind and pride issue. I don't think one single player will change that state of mind,  I think it will help. I think one guy (Matthews two years ago) can cover up a lot of other guys' mistakes. The way that the NBA rules (and the way calls go now) are set up to create more points and less stoppages. In the end talent and offense will always win. Look at the finals the Heat had the most talented players, but the Mavericks had the best offense.  Here is his post work out interview

Jazz shopping Jefferson? Gather Sports  I don't think that I ever expected big Al to go 23 and 11 with the Jazz. I am fine with him going 18 and 9 every night. He played well for us and lost the coach that he came to play for, and the point guard that was going to make him and All-star. Corbin has said that Jefferson has worked very hard this off-season. I like Al and think we should keep him as our veteran for all of the young guys we will have after this draft.  

If the Jazz draft Jimmer fishbowl becomes a factor Luhm

My longtime Deron Williams nightmare may come true. Laker Nation  Only difference is that I thought the Lakers would be stealing him away from the Utah Jazz not the New Jersey Nets. 

What will the Jazz do? Dana Greene.
