Top 15 Players in Utah Jazz History

September 3rd 2011 03:44
1. Karl Malone- The "Mailman" brought the Jazz to sights they have never seen before. He never brought them the NBA title, but he is one of the top power forwards of all-time in the league.

2. John Stockton- One of the best point guards ever in the league, Stockton was a natural at the position. He was great at getting under the opponents skin. A great scorer when needed, Stockton and Malone worked great together.

3. Adrian Dantley- Dantley averaged over 30 points four seasons with the Jazz. He was a great scorer, and a good rebounder.

4. Pete Maravich- Utah's first star in team history, Maravich was a great talent. One of the best shooters in basketball history, Maravich wasn't afraid to shoot from anywhere on the court.


5. Jeff Malone- teamed with Karl to provide the Jazz a great inside presence. Malone was a good scorer and defender.

6. Darrell Griffith- one of the top three-point shooters in team history, Griffith also was a great dunking artist.

7. Rickey Green- the team's point guard before Stockton arrived. Green was a whiz at picking the opponents pocket and dishing the ball.

8. John Drew- part of trade which sent Dominque Wilkens to Atlanta. Good player, didn't do any one thing great, just good.

9. Thurl Bailey- another good role player who complemented other stars well. Bailey provided toughness and rebounding for the Jazz.

10. Jeff Hornacek- a great shooter, Hornacek and Stockton teamed up to make one of the best back-courts of their era.

11. Mark Eaton- tall 7 ft. 4 in. center, Eaton provided defense for the Jazz. A shot-blocking maven, Eaton was hard to get past while on the court.


12. Rich Kelly- not a big scorer, Kelly did everything else. A great rebounder and shot-blocker, he is amongst the leaders in franchise history for both stats.


13. Andrei Kirilenko- he fills the stat sheet up each game. A threat to get around a triple-double, Kirilenko is a model for consistency for the Jazz.

14. Lenord Robinson- averaged double-doubles throughout his career. Robinson was known as a rebounder, but he could score as well.

15. Byron Russell- great shooter for the team. He was known as their lock-down defender. Could drive to the basket, but known for his shooting.
Karl Malone is Utah's top player of all-time
