The Jazz have acquired the 13th pick and select Donovan Mitchell

[silesian]

Anyone else thinks his body language during his first interviews was very unauthentic?

I concluded the opposite. But pretty subjective stuff.

Most of us either wanted Turner, or like myself, were upset when we passed on Devin Booker. Trey Lyles has shown flashes, but has been much maligned around here since his draft date.

I guess I can be the last person to jump off the Lyles bandwagon. Supreme homerism or stubbornness.

You'd need to check the twitter timelines, but it was one of the Jazz beat reporters or Locke that mentioned it.

Locke. And Locke drafted him at 24 in his Locked on NBA mock draft. This plus the pro-Lyles advocacy 2 years ago suggests he has some inside information, at least occasionally.

The biggest thing for Mitchell is PG skills and learning how to draw contact.

I think he is a 2 on offense who will defend the 1/2

Boris will wait an see. So far Utah has

-Trade number 3 pick Kanter for nothing.
-Trade two firsts for Trey.
-Draft Exum 4th pick bust.
-Trade a former 12 pick an a 24 pick for a 13 pick.

Not being negative on this kid hope he blows up just sayin Utah management does not have a record of increasing asset value in the draft. I hope he does not bust like Trey Lyles an I hope Lyles the best hope he can find his groove.

Good job cherry picking the worse Jazz moves. That is the key to a balanced analysis.

Yes, but even 2's need traditional PG skills.

I was critical of him in the draft thread but now that he is a Jazz man i will love him. I like his personality and the desire to play defense. The funny thing is he has almost the same physical measurement to george hill.

After last year over half the board was ready to trade Favors and start Lyles.

This is what I have been saying but some here have selective memories.

But jumps about 10" higher than Hill does.

How many people who lauded the Burke pick "owned" that failure?

There were several people who didn't like the Burke pick at all.

I will be the first to admit I was extremely excited when we traded 14 and 21 for 9 to get Burke. I will also be the first to admit it was a bad trade in hindsight. That draft class as a whole sucked and was completely overrated at the time. Trading 46 and cash for 27 yo get Gobert makes up for everything though.

Hard for me to claim Jazz draft well or act like DM is gonna be better then Lyles. Both kinda dumb arguments.
