Who are the top-5 Jazz players of all-time? Consider only their performance while on the Jazz.

Malone, Stockton, AD, Gobert. You can make an argument for #5 between

AK and Dwill are interesting.

Manti

They're all in the top 10 in Jazz-only Win Shares with Memo, Milsap and D-Fav

I meant I was agreeing with you.

Manti

3/25/19 10:56am

Young guys seem to think that nothing happend before about 1995...

CoachSpeak

Stockton, Dantley, Hayward, Malone, Rudy.

Manti

3/25/19 10:52am

Not sure Hayward is even in the top 10.

Hornacek is overrated IMO. Love the dude but not close to an all-star in Utah.

Manti

3/25/19 10:58am

DWill over Hayward

DieHarder

3/25/19 10:54am

AK better than Hayward

3/25/19 10:54am

I'd agree with that. I'm high on Hayward though. Legit 20, 5, and 5 guy.

Manti

3/25/19 10:55am

Yeah, Hayward was at #11 in Jazz-only Win Shares so he's close

nephicoug

3/25/19 10:57am

He's also tied with Derek Fisher in cowardly Jazz exits. FTR, I was and still am pleased that the Jazz didn't handcuff

4 of Pistol's top 6 seasons were with Atlanta

No Adrian Dantley? Averaged 28 points for 6 years, two time scoring champ and

Gobert, Malone, AD, Williams, Stockton

Malone, Stockton, Dantley, Kirilenko, Hornacek

Hornacek was only there 6 years. No longevity there either.

Manti

3/25/19 11:03am

Only 6 years, sure, but he was a key part of the Jazz making the NBA Finals.

I don't have issues w/ Gobert being included instead of Hornacek.

jreid191

3/25/19 11:18am

Agree. In five years it will be Malone, Stockton, Dantley, Gobert, Mitchell.

AK was a little before his time. He’d be phenomenal in today’s game.

PHXSUNS31

Did everyone forget about Darrel Griffith?

CoachSpeak

3/25/19 11:06am

No, but he is not top 5.

Jdoc

3/25/19 11:10am

People on this thread have mentioned Hayward....

CoachSpeak

3/25/19 11:20am

Griffith should definitely be considered, but I would place

Jdoc

3/25/19 11:31am

Hmmm......No Pistol Pete....interesting

CoachSpeak

3/25/19 11:21am

Pete is definitely too 5. Where did I say he wasn’t?

Jdoc

3/25/19 11:32am

Pistol is a tough one because he was a phenomenal player.

RalphWiggam

3/25/19 11:40am

He had some really great Jazz years despite the injuries....

CoachSpeak

3/25/19 11:42am

Do the New Orleans Jazz years count?

PHXSUNS31

3/25/19 11:45am

That wasn't the Jazz?

CoachSpeak

3/25/19 11:48am

It obviously was, but he played 17 games in Utah

PHXSUNS31

3/25/19 12:19pm

It's the same franchise....

CoachSpeak

3/25/19 12:22pm

That’s cool, I’m just saying if I was a jazz fan I’d think differently

PHXSUNS31

Jdoc

3/25/19 11:50am

He should be on there. I think you’re right about that.

RalphWiggam

3/25/19 11:58am

He also had 17 career win shares with the Jazz..for reference mehmet okur had 45

PHXSUNS31

3/25/19 12:23pm

Who cares? We are talking about Pistol Pete here. Nobody

Jdoc

3/25/19 1:41pm

My point is that looking at strictly PPG is misleading

PHXSUNS31

3/25/19 1:57pm

I get what you’re saying. Pete was a one man show, flashy,

Jdoc

3/25/19 2:05pm

I think he would have been real fun in the modern nba

PHXSUNS31

3/25/19 2:24pm

Okur would have loved today’s NBA.

Jdoc

3/25/19 2:33pm

That’s true too

PHXSUNS31

3/25/19 2:46pm

You didn't....

CoachSpeak

3/25/19 11:40am

I’m no jazz fan and wasn’t even alive during his career, but I don’t see top 5

PHXSUNS31

3/25/19 11:14am

Malone, Stockton, AD, DWill and Rudy. An argument can be made for AK, Pistol Pete would be on the list if he had...

Pistol Pete averaged the following playing for the jazz....
