The Tribune is doing a season-long project to commemorate the Utah Jazz's 35th anniversary. In all, 214 players have worn Jazz uniforms. Continuing daily, columnist Kurt Kragthorpe ranks them all, from bottom to top.

No. 36 Mike Brown

Who he is » In the expansion draft process in 1988, the Jazz traded Kelly Tripucka to Charlotte for Brown, making Brown part of the Spencer Haywood-Adrian Dantley lineage in franchise history. Popular because of his hustle and physical play, the "Brown Bear" spent five seasons in Utah, appearing in every regular-season game during his last four years.

Why he's No. 36 » Brown can blame Carlos Boozer's injuries and Paul Millsap's resulting ascent for knocking him out of the top 35. Otherwise, he overcame modest statistics of 5.7 points and 4.8 rebounds with his consistency, playing in 394 games for an average of 18.2 minutes.
