Heh, and he was my backup.

Keith McCleod Gotta lock in a terrible shooting point guard before they're all snapped up. @Thee Jazz Fan is up

Amaechi would have been my #1. The dude has the lowest fg% of anyone in the 1000+ minute club. As a big man.

Because I am just that nice (If a guy played multiple positions, if Basketball Reference listed him as a PG or a C in at least one year he played for the Jazz, I put them in that category, since those two are the ones that are limiting. So that's why, for example, you see CJ Miles listed as a...

Ahh, Mo-be. Good times. I remember Locke one time saying he did a one-on-one drill with Ronnie Price, and Almond just couldn't do anything at all with him, Price just made him look completely out of his league.

I'll play

Well at least Boler will be able to pronounce his name. Over under on the number of times he says something to the effect of “Jazz have an Ace in the hole!” over the course of the season?

I'm actually not saying the pick is the most valuable asset because I think the Suns will be bad by the time it comes around and we will be able to use it to draft a good player. Its valuable as a trade asset because it doesn't convey for 6 years. The variance therefore contains a non-trivial...

Ah but that's the beauty of the draft. You can say that about every potential guy the Jazz could bring here. The draftees though don't get the leverage to make that kind of request for 5-6 years and everyone else can do it in 2-3.

Kinda tough to say, but I'll say worse (I am viewing this exercise as comparing our potential immediately after that trade was made, and today). Its just the nature of the stockpiling pick game, the assets depreciate. Its speculative gambling on the quality the picks turn out to be, and most...

However things shake out with changes, this lottery was absolutely an example of why the current system is the most absolutely worst thing they could possibly do, aside from a system that further flattens the odds. All the teams that got bumped out of the top slots are now just going to...

Man, if we managed to trade Lauri for #2 and kept #5 I would be ecstatic, that would totally erase the disgusted feeling I've had since the lottery. If we managed to trade him for #3 or even #4 I'd also still be pretty happy. As it is right now I've been assuming the lottery results are...

I mean, if you're grouping them, then its more likely that someone in just either the 6 or the 7 spot will win the #1 than we do individually. So, yeah, much better chances that someone in the 4-8 spot will end up #1 or #2 if you are combining all of them. We still have a better shot than any...

There's some kind of rounding error going on in this chart though. Some of the teams percentages (2 and 3 in particular) don't add up to 100%

I mean, we have a slightly better chance of landing 1-4 (52.1%) so technically we will "probably" end up better than 5. But yes pretty close to a coin flip.
