A short post for you right now (well, shorter...). It comes to you via Ric Bucher's twitter page.

My question to him...

@RicBucher Hearing anything about the Jazz? Any chance Terrence Williams falls to them?

His much appreciated response...

@UtesFan89 No. Terrence won't get past Cha, might go to NJ. Hear he already has a promise from Cha. Teague/Sam Young are atop Utah board.

Young was #6 on my top-10 list. As for what I said about Young at the time...

The major issue you'll see with him is ball-handling. It's not very good, and it causes issues when he's trying to score off of the dribble. That said, he's been working offensively. He's become a solid threat from outside due to a lot of work put in during college. He has an awkward shot, but it works for him. And he's got a body that lets him absorb contact. He is a bit older than other players in his class, so his "potential" might not be as high as some of the others... meaning he's more of a "what you see is what you get" guy than some of the others in the draft. Not that that's a bad thing. He's a force defensively, with the size, length & athleticism to lock down players. He's aggressive, but not to the point of careless gambles (which would make him different from someone like CJ). I guess another question I have... given that he's 6'6, how's he going to match-up with some of the wings (Turkoglu... who Portland is interested in... and the likes).

And Teague... there are some questions as to whether he's NBA ready or not. Obviously the Jazz think he is... or they better... because otherwise he's rotting away on the bench for the next couple of years.

Oh, and for a list of rumors that I'm trying to update as I hear/read them... go here.
