With the success that the Utah Jazz had in the second half of the season they took themselves out of position to get one of the higher draft picks, but that doesn’t mean they still can’t get a great player where they pick. After all, John Stockton and Karl Malone were both still on the board at the spot that the Jazz will pick this season.

Now that we know that the Jazz have the No. 12 pick, it is the perfect time for us to look and see what kind of players have been drafted there in years past.
