Show 10 - The Summer Weekly Chronicle DRAFT continued from page 9 Majerus best buds, and you know the Maji has been pushing his boy Mike Doleac here. 10. Celtics: Rick Pitino has been lauding Doleac, but the Bucks will break his heart, forcing Pitino to take Keon Clark out of the UNLV. Clark is a bigger, stronger and more mature version of Portland's Jermaine O'Neil. In other words, he's really not that good. 11. Pistons: Detroit needs someone to take the pressure off Grant Hill by canning the outside shot. Michael Dickerson is the type of player who can carry a team with his shot. 12. Magic: Orlando will take Radoslav Nesterovic. out of Italy with their first of three picks in the first round. 13. Magic: This time, the Magic will stay domestic and snare Pat Garrity from Notre Dame. At 6'o", Garrity has the range of a shooting guard and can also post up. 14. Rockets: With Clyde Drexler gone, the Rockets will turn to Bonzi Wells, who possesses a similar style of game. 15. Magic: This is getting repetitive. The Magic will this time go small for someone to help Anfernee Hardaway handle the ball. They'll take a chance on Jason Williams out of Florida, but don't be surprised if ed Wednesday, June 24, 1998 he winds up in the CBA. 16. Rockets: With its aging front line, the Rockets will take Nazr Mohammed out of Kentucky. 17. Timberwolves: Rumor has it that Tom Gugliotta is on his way out, which opens a spot for German player Dirk Nowitzki. 18. Rockets: Now that the first foreigners have been picked, it's time for a few high schoolers to come out the woodwork. The Rockets will take a chance on Rashard Lewis, a home grown project out of Aliek Elsik High in Houston. 19. Bucks: Matt Harpring's stock fell because he refused to attend workouts, so Milwaukee may be getting a steal by taking him here. 20. Hawks: Why not take a gamble with Corey Benjamin out of Oregon State? The 6 6" guard is as athletic as anybody in the draft, and is a proven scorer. 21. Hornets: Anthony Mason is as good as dead in Charlotte, so they'll be looking for somebody to replace him. They won't find anybody, but will try by taking the soft J.R. Henderson from UCLA. 22. Clippers: Now that the Clips have a playmaker in Bibby, they need someone to finish in the open court. Ruben Patterson of Cincinnati isn't the best player available, but will be a great compliment to Bibby's freestyle type of play. 23. Nuggets: Felipe Lopez could be a clone of Jalen Rose, which excites the Nuggets. He could turn into a defensive stopper. 24. Spurs: Bryce Drew. If you don't remember his shot in the NCAA Tournament, then you should be ashamed of yourself. The Spurs are in desperate need of a threat. Drew gives them one, which will help open things up for David Robinson and Tim Duncan in the post. 25. Pacers: Travis Best is a free agent and could be on the way out. Larry Bird likes having a quick guard come off the bench, so he'll stock up with Tyronn Lue. 26. Lakers: Can you draft coaches? No. Then the Lakers will take high schooler Al Harrington because young punks seem to fit in with the Hollywood crowd. 27. Sonics: Size does matter, believe it or not And Seattle needs all the beef it can get. They'll likely go overseas and snatch Vladimir Stepania, a 6'n" center from Slovenia who will be thrust into playing time immediately. 28. Bulls: The aging Bulls don't really care about the draft at this point. They want to resign their free agents, and will prove their disinter- Hell Hath No Fuiy Like A Scorned Jazz Fanatic weren't flukes. That's something that was consistently overlooked during all the purple and blue, in Salt Lake during the playoffs. Chicago had no intention Erik Martinez Chronicle Asst. Sports Editor d It's incredible how and fickle some sports fans can become. Is it really that humiliating being the second best basketball team in the world? Second best to perhaps the greatest team off all time, and second best to the greatest basketball player in the history of civilization? It is that humiliating if you ask some of the greedy, unrealistic, unappreciative, Jazz freaks around town. The fans who probably haven't set a pick in over 10 years and couldn't hit a jump shot in their back with no one around. yard But I guess that's what being a fan is all about, right? Wrong.

Jazz: Scott Layden loves kids that come from a winning background, which is why he'll take Roshown McCleod out of Duke.

Karl Malone. I was listening to the local sports talk radio station the other day, and I heard some of the most ignorant comments ever uttered in the history of Salt Lake air waves. Caller. Yeah, thanks for taking my call. What do you think we can get for Malone? I think it's time we get rid of him while we can still get something for him. Host: Why would you want to do that? Caller He can't finish. Host: What do you mean finish? Can't finish what? he can't Caller Well, he can't win a title, that's for sure. I mean, this is the second year we've been there now and he can't get the job done. All he wants to do is wrestle and we'll never win a championship with him. Host Goodbye (click). I probably would have hung up on the young gentleman as well (idiot). Where does a person with some sense of logic and reason begin with this guy? First off, "we" didn't lose anything. The Utah Jazz, consisting of 12 play- Continuing Education will offer the following online courses summer quarter '98.

A position envied by 27 other teams in the league, all of which are bigger and wealthier than the Jazz. None of "us" scored a hoop all year. None of "we" busted our tails all year over at Westminster College to put ourselves in such a potentially glorifying or disappointing predicament. Some of "we" need to stop taking things so personal, get a life of their own and cease with living vicariously through the actions of others. Comprende? Sure, it's okay to criticize your team if you're a fan. But rational judgement and legitimate forethought should override and prevail over being an head who just wants angry pooh-poo-h roll. see heads to Even if that head has been the catalyst and central reason for all the success of the Jazz for over decade. It's not Karl's fault. The same way it wasn't Magic Johnson's or James Worthy's fault. It wasn't the fault of Clyde Drexler and Clifford Robinson in 1992. Nor the fault of Charles Barkley and Kevin Johnson the following year. And who could blame Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp in 1996? At least the Utah Jazz had the honor of losing twice to the Bulls. Aren't "we" lucky? And if Jordan packs it up, I can say I was in the house for his last triumph. And who cares if Malone wants to rassle. Let him do what he wants. As far as the rasslin' match goes, rumor has it that John Stockton will emerge from the locker room, hit Dennis Rodman, or Rodzilla, over the back with a steel chair (purple of course), thus delivering the finest assist of his stellar career. Malone then hits the worm with some patented elbow drop called the "Special Delivery," winning the match over Rodman and Hdllywood Hogan. And Diamond Dallas Paige looks like a strung-ou- t junkie. |
