Jazz select Grayson Allen at 21

[Handlogten's Heros]

Mirotic or Allen + Burks?

Hello darkness my old friend....

 

[fishonjazz]

Off the bench, almost exclusively, at best.

So very excite

Nobody at 21 was starting ahead of Rubio, Mitchell, jingles, favors or gobert though right?

 

[Stoked]

I’m excited because I trust this FO.

 

[fishonjazz]

Should have traded for mirotic.

I always like Grayson Allen. I’m happy with the pick.

If fish is happy so am I... okay still not happy but feel 3% better.

I stated many times I wasn’t that impressed with him and the way the draft is going teams weren’t all that impressed either or he’d have been picked long ago, right?

Ok. I’m glad you feel that way. But there’s hardly a consensus on this board that Allen was the BPA. Okobo easily could’ve been and he fit a need.

When’s Allen going to play? We have a logjam at the 3. He doesn’t have PG skills to backup Rubio. So is he going to spot donovon 5 mins per game? Is that a wise pick?

Plus, who’s he going to defend?

His age is also a concern. How much of a ceiling does he have?

Was he one of the BPA at 21? Maybe. Was he the best prospect? Hell no, and I don’t think it’s even close to being debatable

I agree with you. I think it’s very debatable that he was even the BPA. Okobo could’ve been. And he fit a need. I’d personally rather see Okobo come in off the bench and in time replace Rubio than see Allen play... when?

Okobo is a lot younger, longer, and plays a position.

But yeah, just grab Delly 2.0 and call it a night. And would everyone please forget that this pick had value at one point? Thanks.

I’m mad that I told Infection we had to keep the pick.

Favors?

I'm in a mood: **** keeping Favors. I've been sick of talking about his potential, then his desire, then his injuries, then his fit, then, then, then I AM DONE.

Okobo might have over Rubio. In time? Probably. Will Allen ever be a starter in this league? What’s his position? Who’s he defending?

 

[MDAV28]

I don't think it's crazy to mold a guy with a great catch and shoot and pull-up shot and we are talking about #21. If he provides gravity with his shot in a reserve role on a cheap deal, it's not the end of the world.

Allen can take any minutes that Okobo would’ve got.
