I like Schroeder but I am not going to die if the Jazz don't pick him. I wanted Tiago over Almond but I wasn't throwing too big of a fit when we took Almond. I was disappointed but I also understood the Jazz needed and felt that Almond was the right guy. They were wrong. Stuff happens.
In this draft there are several complimentary players that I would be happy with the Jazz picking, my expectations are low about getting an all-star type player. I am looking for the Jazz to sure up some holes coming off the bench. The draft is a bonus to me what I am still worried about is the Jazz re-signing a bunch of washed up vets to take away playing time from our young guys. I hope I am wrong.

What is up with all of these promises? I don't remember seeing this much in the past. Right now it is speculated that the Bucks promised #15 to Shane Larkin, Celtics promised #16 to Dennis Schroder, and Hawks promised #17 or #18 to Gianns Adetokunbo.

Not drastic enough.
Any guesses as to what they hope to accomplish?
One goal would be to keep a foreign player in the draft, but Giannis was probably going to stay anyway.
Another I guess is to try to get the player to shut down workouts with other teams.
The downside is that the team that makes the promise reveals their hand and another team that wants that player can try to trade above the first team.
How binding are these "promises" though? Could Milwaukee 'promise' Larkin in order to try to force the Jazz to take him at #14 and leave another player they want at #15?
