zanik, under Ainge seems so much more open and shows more personality than he did under DL. it's almost as if DL had scared him into being as closed off and robotic as possible. it's a breath of fresh air having ainge in charge of things and allowing a guy like Zanik to actually share some good, interesting info.

He sees all 3 guys as enormous talents that can be shaped by Hardy to acquire new skills.
Thinks the biggest thing the Jazz need right now is just pure talent, and they'd be working through team fit - trusts Hardy to figure out the combinations that will work.
Sounds like they aren't going all in next year - and that they see the team as needing further development and growth before that point.

Zanik didnt really have big drafts under DL? The Jazz usually didnt have any picks it seemed like during his time as GM under DL.

Then wtf did we win so much last year? Why didn’t we sell everyone off at the damn start?

They probably had Bilal top 5, lol.

I do miss DL's propensity to create a storyline for every draft pick (aka procieption, hand pads, being ranked high on an analytics model, Sloan told us to draft him, etc.)

They usually just became memes, but it was fun to have a little unique tidbit to attribute to prospects.

I wonder how Hendricks scored on the Trey Lyles balance test

Also it's clear that Justin really, really, really likes working with Ainge. Just effusive praise of him - and a slight shot at Dennis.

Sloan telling the Jazz to draft Gobert because he was a hard worker was just another GOAT move from one of the all-timers.

That last sentence is kind of a big deal. I wonder how long they feel they have before they need to prioritize winning in order to match Lauri's timeline.
