Starting the Deep Dive
First, I needed to find the info. I started searching, trying to piece it together. I found a bunch of stuff, but it was all scattered. Some websites had parts of the roster, others had different bits of info. It was like a jigsaw puzzle, but without the picture on the box. The Jazz were 43-39 in 2012-13, they were third in their division that year. But I wanted to know more, I wanted the full roster for 2013.
Gatherseceing the Pieces
I kept digging, and slowly, the picture started to form. I found out that Randy Foye signed with the Jazz in July 2012. Then there was Jerel McNeal, who joined in March 2013. I started compiling a list, player by player, like a detective piecing together clues. There was also a lot of info about the 2013-14 season, but that wasn't my target.
Putting It All Together
After a good chunk of time, I had a pretty decent list. I found mentions of guys like Ian Clark, John Lucas III, Malcolm Thomas, Andris Biedriņš, and Mike Harris. I cross-referenced different sources to make sure I wasn't missing anyone. It was a bit of a mess, to be honest, but hey, that's part of the fun, right? I also found out that the 2013-14 season wasn't great for them, they only won 25 games.
The Final Result
Finally, I had what I felt was a complete roster. It wasn't just names; I also found their jersey numbers, positions, heights, and even their birthdays. You know, the whole shebang. This list was way more detailed than anything I found at the start.
Sharing the Goods
So, what did I do with all this info? Well, I organized it, made it look all nice and neat, and put it up on my blog. I figured there might be other Jazz fans out there, or just basketball nerds like me, who'd appreciate it.
Wrapping It Up
That's it, that's my little adventure into the 2013 Utah Jazz roster. It was a fun little project, and I learned a lot along the way. It just goes to show, you never know what you'll find when you start digging into the past. Hope you enjoyed the ride!
