Jazz select Grayson Allen at 21

I’m curious, when will he play? Behind ingles? Because he surely won’t play ahead of Mitchell and doesn’t have the skills to play ahead of Rubio. Who’s he going to defend at the 3?

Do we think he can give us Klay Thompson like production on the offensive end?

He was probably one of the BPA at 21 but I’m not sure I like this pick

"Just one pick"

Kidding. I have the same issue - his defense. I don't really have any issues with his offense.
 
Yeah, straight up, this got ****ed up. I am calling it now: this is a true ****-up of asset management. One of the guys passed will pop, and we'll have drafted a career 16 MPG player.

Give me a time machine and Mirotic.

Just kidding, let's keep talking about Derrick Favors' fit until we're skeletons.
 
I hope the first NBA player he trips gets up and punches him in his smug face. There were so many better players on the board. Terrible pick.

I promise he wasn't BPA. Would've rather drafted Robert Williams because you could probably at least trade him.

The upside of this pick is I have no problem attaching it to Alec Burks to clear the salary. That is actually the silver lining for me.

Grayson Allen is garbage....Utah Jazz will never win or beat Golden State Warriors with this pick.

Right, because we all know there was someone else available with the 21st pick that would have completely put us over the hump and allowed us to compete with the Warriors next season. Lol

Because we know exactly who Allen is. He's got very little ceiling. There were several prospects with more upside that could have developed into impact players. Allen will be a career backup.

I'd settle for a guy that might ever start in the NBA. AKA, moves the needle at all.

Let's get out of the way how dumb sports are, let alone how much time and energy we put into it.

That being said, I've put a lot of time into this **** and it feels like a damn insult. This pick could've been many things, but it is now some frat boy that hasn't improved in 2-3 years and is most known for tripping players and being insane. On the flipside, the upside is he plays well off the bench but lacks the size, PG skills, or defensive chops to believably do anything more than that.
 
I think too many see white guy and think unathletic shooter. Guys a high level athlete. At least watch some highlights
