    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Jazz took a look at three players in the 6-foot-10 and 6-11 height range Friday, none of them likely to be next season's starting power forward or center. They are most likely future considerations, either as players the Jazz might draft this year but leave in Europe or elsewhere for awhile or as insurance in case they make a trade and wind up with a second-round selection this season.
    Jazz staffers didn't see much of Marcus "Marquinhos" Vieira. The thin 6-10 forward from the Brazilian national team quickly reinjured a hamstring aggravated in previous workouts with other teams and spent most of the session getting treatment for a cramp.
    "I feel bad," O'Connor said about not getting a good look at Vieira. "He's a younger player (born 1984), and he would be the future, not the present."
    The Jazz did get to see Brazilian Anderson Varejao, a 6-10 forward. "Plays very hard. Probably not as skilled offensively as he is defensively and rebounding-wise," said O'Connor. Varejao played sparingly behind two strong forwards for F.C. Barcelona in Spain the last three years and played for Brazil in the 2002 World Championships in Indianapolis.</div>

    At least Utah are looking at size, that's the most important thing for them in the upcoming draft. You will have to scroll down the page to get to the workouts section.
