2nd Round Pick Success Rate

I like Michael Frazier. Good shooter, decent athlete, active defender. I also liked Joe Young. That kid has some fire.

Yeah, right, until we draft a guy in the second round. Then we hope and pray he's anywhere close to that good.

We did. His name was Paul Millsap. Then we lost him. Sad.
 
A. If Tomic comes over, it's going to be a helluva lot of fun watching him play in the Rising Stars game with a bunch of kids. Kind of hoping this happens AND that Jingles gets an invite also as a 2nd year player. That would be so funny.

B. The talent pool usually starts to dry up around 35-40. Jazz have to scout their asses off to find a guy that will ever contribute. Of the players that I'm now looking at for the 2nd round, the ones that intrigue me most are George Lucas De Paula (his length and defensive footwork are very Dante-esque), Mouhammadou Jaiteh (who had some 1st round grades back in 2013), Cliff Alexander (who was considered a top 5 pick until his disastrous freshman year at Kansas) and Chris McCullough (who I don't think would have been available this late minus his knee injury).

Ingles probably won't even get minutes on this team next year if we draft a wing player, which is about 50% likely.

I wouldn't count out Jingles just yet. Even if we do draft a wing, he's a glue guy who makes things happen and shot the ball extremely well.

I'm all for drafting a wing (and have been on the Stanley Johnson bandwagon for awhile now). . . but I bet Joe finds a way to get on the floor. Wouldn't surprise me to see Snyder start spreading minutes around and resting guys on back to backs - long established strategy by Pops.

Great job, Ellis. Good players CAN be found in the 2nd round,,,even late. Yes, it's harder; but that is pretty logical. Draft someone with an elite skill or elite size and hope he develops. And don't forget to add Tomic to that list after he wins ROY this season!

Agreed. And with that said, I have complete faith in the front office and their collective skill in finding 2nd round players.
