Not all players on a given team are available during an expansion draft, since each team can protect a certain number of players from being selected. In this draft, each of the seventeen other NBA teams had protected seven players from their roster and the Jazz selected seventeen unprotected players, one from each team.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=pXssAAAAIBAJ&pg=7224,3774927 Castoff List Has Arrived May 17, 1974 Herald-Journal April 9, 2010 The Jazz were formed and owned by a group headed by Fred Rosenfeld and Sam Battistone.http://www.sltrib.com/jazz/ci_10736816 Jazz at 35: A first-era timeline May 3, 2009 The Salt Lake Tribune April 9, 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20090218054328/http://www.sltrib.com/jazz/ci_10736816 February 18, 2009 deadhttps://people.forbes.com/profile/sam-d-battistone/27241 Sam D.

The Jazz's selections included five-time All-Star Walt Bellamy, three-time All-Star Bob Kauffman and one-time All-Star John Block. However, none of them had long careers with the Jazz; Bellamy, who was 35 years old, was waived after one game and both Kauffman and Block were traded. Prior to the draft, the Jazz made a trade with the Atlanta Hawks which brought two-time All-Star Pete Maravich to the Jazz. In exchange for Maravich, the Jazz sent the first guard and forward chosen in the expansion draft, which turned out to be Bob Kauffman and Dean Meminger, along with future draft picks to the Hawks.https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/m/maravpe01.html Pete Maravich Statistics basketball-reference.com April 9, 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20100413232429/http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/m/maravpe01.html 13 April 2010 live Ten players from the expansion draft joined the Jazz for their inaugural season, but only three played more than one season for the team.
