    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Utah Jazz will continue preparations for the upcoming NBA draft by working out eight players Thursday and Friday at the team's practice facility.
    Donnell Taylor of Alabama-Birmingham, Ricky Shields of Rutgers, Josh Pace of Syracuse and Luther Head of Illinois will participate in Thursday morning's session.
    Dijon Thompson of UCLA, Omar Thomas of UTEP, Ronnie Price of Utah Valley State College and Martell Webster of Seattle Prep High School will participate on Friday morning.
    A 6-foot-6 shooting guard, Webster is the most highly-regarded player to work out for the Jazz in Utah so far. </div>

    Why are they working out Dijon Thompson and Ronnie Price again? Do they really need to see them again? Martell Webster looks good, so does Luther Head. Donnell Taylor and Ricky Shields won't fit very well into the Sloan system either.

    Martell Webster

    Could Martell Webster be No. 2?
    Jazz officials watched Webster work out Friday at the team's practice facility, and they came away impressed with the 6-foot-7 swingman from Seattle Prep in Washington.
    "He is a wonderful talent," Jazz vice president of basketball operations Kevin O'Connor said. "You watch him shoot the ball - how easy it is, how fluid he is - and you see that basketball comes easy to him. He doesn't know it all yet. But it comes easy."
    "I'm always amazed at the composure these kids show," coach Jerry Sloan said. </div>

    Martell Webster is going to go extremely high though, might have to use the 6th pick on him.
