With the Fifth Pick... Dante Exum

[trigg3r]

Bye bye, Trey.

I love the pick. AG would have been extremely mediocre at 5, IMO I think Orlando whiffed huge on that one.

There was a clear cut top 4 in this draft that had star potential and one of them fell into our laps. We had to swing for the fences.

Would be really awkward for Trey to be taking pictures with his replacement one year after he was drafted. My guess is that Trey won't be traded this year at least.

Agreed. Besides. . . with such a young team there's going to be plenty of minutes to go around. Dante will get time at both 1 and 2 to figure out where he fits best.

No please

It happened. There were many better choices.

I'd be okay with KJ McDaniels now at 23.

That's who I wanted too. Maybe at 35?

 

[[size/HUGE] fixed [/size]]

guess which one of these guys will be a better defender. Thx.

As a rookie, I don't see a 19 year old starting ahead of the incumbent. Maybe eventually, but not likely next year.

I agree. I will say that Trey's days are numbered as a starting PG.

I have ripped on Exum a lot lately. I still worry about him.

But I am warming up. His shot is bad. mechanics are good though. So hopefully he can improve. Is he our combo guard off the bench this year?

Seems more like a SG then a PG. Needs to fix his PG skills before we think about trading Trey. Hopefully he can put it together.

Burn!

My problem isn't that I don't trust the office to evaluate talent, my problem is that the whole approach is wrong. Picking the best player available is a bad idea. You fill needs. The Jazz don't need a PG or a SG.

Still need to use some salary to get to the floor.

What next?

Teams don't actually have to get to the floor. Makes absolutely no difference.

 

[UGLI baby]

Why complicate things? If you need a centre, you draft a freaking centre. You don't draft a small forward, then trade your current small forward for dimes on the dollar to get a centre. You draft a freaking centre. Good grief, it's not that complicated.

Nice to see this board is as neurotic as ever. All the scouts and analysts think Exum will be a star. Who the **** cares you haters think.
