    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Three highly regarded point guards are scheduled to perform for the Jazz on Tuesday, the first in a series of workouts for prospects visiting Utah in the weeks leading to the June 24 NBA Draft.
    The trio: Jameer Nelson, the St. Joseph's University senior who won NCAA Player of the Year honors this past season; Chris Duhon, an All-American from Duke University; and Sebastian Telfair, the Brooklyn, N.Y., high school star.
    Later in the week, on Friday, the Jazz will hold another workout ? and the prospects expected on hand then include Rafael Araujo, the BYU center who is being projected as a certain first-round selection.
    That the Jazz are looking closely at a big man should come as no surprise. Their interest in first-round quality point guards, however, is intriguing.
    In its first season following the retirement of future Hall-of-Famer John Stockton, Utah used three points in 2003-04: starter Carlos Arroyo, backup Raul Lopez and No. 3 Mo Williams.</div>

    I wouldn't mind Nelson, I doubt the Jazz will take Telfair because he's a high schooler and the Jazz currently have no high schoolers and Deshawn Stevenson may have scared them from taking high schoolers. Chris Duhon should go in the second round, Utah have no second round picks. Duhon isn't worth wasting a first round pick on IMO, unless Utah have a trade coming [​IMG]

    The only way I could see us taking a PG is if we have to trade one of the others or lose one in the expansion draft. I like our PG situation now, but if we could get a key low post guy, I would be willing to part with Arroyo. But I think if we get rid of Williams, we are making a big mistake as I see him being a Bobby Jackson guy off the bench for us in a few years.

    The Jazz wont draft another PG if they keep all of their 3 current ones. Having 4 PG's just wont work, especially with the size problems they have. So either a trade is coming, which will probably involve Arroyo, or they expect Mo Williams to go in the expansion draft. They should really go after size in the draft.
