The Jazz join the Nets as teams that have drafted Hofstra players while playing in two places. I didn't know the Jazz used to be in New Orleans, and the Nets drafted Hofstra players while in New York and New Jersey. If the Brooklyn Nets draft somebody from Hofstra, that would be three places.Jojogunne wrote: Justin is the 12th Hofstra player drafted into the NBA, and the second taken by the Jazz:

Most professional teams keep their name when they change cities, but "Jazz" never fit SLC. Maybe they should have rebranded themselves as the Great Salt Lakers (apologies to the equally ill-named LA Lakers, who in 1961 relocated from Minnesota, the "Land of 10,000 Lakes") or the SLC Salt Flats or even the SLC Mountain Bikers.EvanJ wrote:I don't know how much time he will spend in Utah if he ends up in the G-League, but I saw a YouTube video of a unique place to go near Salt Lake City. It's called Evermore, and it's like a real-life version of a role-playing game. They had three seasonal themes and are only open some of the day. They are only open in the late afternoon and night, and the theme they had during Halloween seemed scary, but they did not give any warnings for kids. I use Twitter, but not Instagram. https://www.evermore.com/ is their website. Does anybody have a guess as to whether JWF would like it and if I should tweet it to him as a suggestion? Salt Lake City has suburbs with the same name as cities/towns upstate. North of Salt Lake City, there is Syracuse. South of Salt Lake City, there is Saratoga Springs. Both Saratoga Springs are near lakes.

I'm thinking about games I've gone to with more than one player who got drafted. The only one I came up with was February 27, 2016 vs. Charleston with JWF and Brantley. I've been to 34 games against 21 opponents, and the only players I've seen who got drafted are JWF, Brantley, Jenkins, and Marcus Thornton, so this week doubled the amount from 2 to 4. If you count the NCAA Tournament, it goes up to 7 or 9. I saw Murray State's Ja Morant and Florida State's Mfiondu Kabengele and Terance Mann. I stayed until the first media timeout of the second game, and if you count that I saw Purdue's Carsen Edwards and Villanova's Eric Paschall.
Or... Memphis.HofstraHockey wrote:There's as much jazz in Utah as there are grizzly bears in New Orleans.
I guess I'm not alone HUSID but I thought we would have had a multitude of reactions to this monumental moment for both the HU basketball program and more importantly a great representative of the university JWF. Where is everyone???HUSID74 wrote:Where's Polito????
I don't know, there have been a decent amount of posts by a variety of posters here, so it's not as if it's been silent. But, to your point, maybe we expected to hear from even more people on this.triplec2195 wrote:I guess I'm not alone HUSID but I thought we would have had a multitude of reactions to this monumental moment for both the HU basketball program and more importantly a great representative of the university JWF.

100% chance No. 3 is retired. But I don't see why it should have to take so long, provided JWF and Hofstra can coordinate the schedules. Jenkins' number was retired on his Senior Day.stuball888 wrote:Oh yes but give it a few years
I'm still here. Been very busy with work so have not posted much lately. But I am thrilled for Justin - it was well deserved.Wags wrote:I don't know, there have been a decent amount of posts by a variety of posters here, so it's not as if it's been silent.

Let's hope it's when the Jazz come to play Brooklyn or the Knicks, and not when Salt Lake comes to play at the Coliseum...Wags wrote:100% chance No. 3 is retired.

That says Utah has players who frequently get injured. On the Reddit page, a Chicago fan said JWF is good enough for the Bulls' bench, albeit they had the fourth worst record of 30 NBA teams.triplec2195 wrote: A nice article about our boy!! https://thejnotes.com/2019/.../justin-w ... zz-draftee...
