"I'm coming there to work, man -- do whatever the team needs me to do," Maynor said in a conference call. "Deron Williams is one of the best point guards in the NBA. For me to come in there and learn from a guy like that I think will be great for me."

At 6-foot-3, he's as tall as Williams but is much lighter -- weighing in at just 164 pounds at the pre-draft camp in Chicago. O'Connor said the Jazz will want to see Maynor bulk up a little this summer and gain some strength before his rookie season.

Williams and Maynor give the Jazz two of the three point guards they plan to have on the roster, with free agent Ronnie Price still available to re-sign with Utah.

"We've always liked point guards and we've always carried three," coach Jerry Sloan said. "He gives us the ability to have a young player that maybe can come in and play behind Deron Williams and Ronnie Price and hopefully make himself a better player."

Sloan doesn't give rookies many minutes. Hopefully Eric breaks the mold.
