"You Gotta Love It Baby" Official Jazz thread

[Donuthole]

I feel like McCollum would be a decent get at 14, but he's not worth another pick. Just a gut feeling (which is probably even less reliable than the "eye test").

[MarkGrace]

A look at where teams draft from.

Despite a hefty 33 picks, the Jazz have found no need to pick a player from the ACC in 15 years; the ACC has more draft picks than any other league in that time (more coming on college trends next week!). Utah's six picks from the Big Ten are the most by any team for that conference.

Really intrigued by this workout group.

@Lockedonsports now
Other players of interest Kelly Olynck , Jamaal Franklin, Isaih Canaan, Tony Snell, Gorgui Dennis and Rudy Gobert

Canaan could be a big time sleeper in this draft. I feel like he could have a long career as a change of pace back-up PG for a lot of teams. I'm intrigued by Frankling; reminds me of a smaller Iggy. If we could have a great shooter at PG, I'd love to have someone like Franklin paired with Hayward with Favors in the paint.

Agree about Canaan. Very intriguing PG prospect.

WRT Franklin, he's the guy out of SDSU, right? IIRC, he's a wing. Probably a true SF, but closer to a 2 than he is a 4.

Paraphrased from Lindsey's weekly interview:

"I'm really appreciative of Ty, especially in a meeting we just had, Ty said to me that he acknowledged that while this situation (i.e., the plan going forward) may not be the best for him, but it's the best for the organization..."

Tank City is upon us. I expect all of Hayward, Kanter and Favors to be starting next year.

What do you think? Will we be excited about this announcement or will it be meh?

I'm guessing nothing really major, maybe an updated jumbotron/scoreboard..

One year too late.

I'll take it.

I know. We could have been so well positioned in this amazing draft.

Alright, I'll bite. Go eff yourself.

I would have much rather seen the young kids get lots of minutes and improve while not making the playoffs than watch the young kids not get lots of minutes and not make the playoffs.

I'm still not sure what to do with Burks. For now I'm fine with him in the 6th man role playing both guard spots.

If we don't get a decent PG, why not toss him in there?

Sorry, I thought you were trolling me. But seriously, if they are going into supposed tank mode, why not give him a starting nod and 35+ mpg too?

I primarily like that they continue to use the C4 in ads and pics. I don't get too excited by that because Foye, Mo, Millsap, and Al aren't under contract so of course they wouldn't be used here. But pre-Lindsay I have little doubt it would've been Marvin Williams on those mocks ups instead of Favors.
