The Jazz wanted to get better at shooting guard and they were happy to see Morris Almond available to them in the first round.  Almond is a physical guard at 6′6″, 215 pounds and he’s a flat out scorer.  He set all kinds of records at Rice and he should battle Derek Fisher for his starting job.  Almond played in 121 games at Rice and he averaged 15.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.0 assist, 0.7 steals and 0.5 blocks per game.  Almond has been a great shooter too as he hit 49.2% from the floor, 43.5% from the the free throw line and 82.4% from the free throw line.  Almond was another great pick by the Jazz and he could be a darkhorse candidate for the NBA Rookie of the Year Award.
