Utah Jazz
(53-29, 2nd (tied) in Midwest, 5 games back in 2001-01)
With the No. 24 pick, the Jazz took Raul Lopez, a point guard from Spain who might not be able to get out of his European contract for another two years. Sure, he's a John Stockton clone, but didn't Utah have more pressing needs at shooting guard?
Strengths: Stockton, Malone. Weaknesses: Age, backup point guard, shooting guard, center.
