With the Fifth Pick... Dante Exum

[Avery]

I had to record the draft tonight and it only recorded the 30 minute pre-draft show. FU Dish.

I wanted Gordon but since he wasn't on the board I am happy with Exum.

CLASS. ACTION. LAWSUIT.

Yay, a draft pick whose highest level of competition so far has been the equivalent of my local YMCA.

...so what do we actually have here? A clown that's going to sit on the bench for the first 3 months and watch......or a guy that can play right away and contribute? A guy that will hit 5 shots in a row.....then get pulled because "it's his time to sit!" A guy that can figure out where he's suppose to be both on offense and defense......or a guy that can't spell "cat" unless you spot him the c and the t? Inquiring posters....want to know!

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.

That type of thinking was the reason why Portland took Sam Bowie over MJ. Most teams take the best player available regardless of the position. Need comes into play if the players are essentially equal.

I'm tempted to take in a few summer league games in person now that we drafted the mystery man.

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.

He was probably there to take his photo with Gordon. Couldn't exactly snub him.

I trust our front office's opinion on Exum more than I do some random JF poster.

....I trust JF posters more than Phil Jackson, Pat Riley or anyone from the AND1 league!

Best draft in long time....Exum was who I wanted anyway (think he will be best player from this draft) and we didnt get rid of anything for him. Great idea to trade second round pick, we dont need any more young bodies right now, stash it for later...Hood looks good and was rated higher by most anyone I saw. Awesome job...on paper
