Jazz select Grayson Allen at 21

Yeah but where is there a guarantee that we'll get Paul George?

I'm not saying there is any guarantee. But, I would think part of the thinking of drafting Allen is to set the table for a potential Paul George signing. It's probably only a small part of the thinking, but I would guess it was a reason that pushed him over some other guys that actually make more sense to me. (Forwards or guys with high potential.)

If there is one thing I’ve learned tonight it’s that we are some serious die-hard fans. Never seen so many people go on suicide watch over someone picked past 20th overall.

We have Donovan Mitchell. There is no room for mistakes.
 
Allen would have been a lottery pick if he declared after his sophomore season.

Fish is only worth 3%?

Thank god he’s not a 3. lol

When Rubio is 35? The jazz aren’t the only team that passed on him. He went 31, almost second round.



When fans think they know better then their favorite team. Classic.

Ok, first of all, stop with the straw man arguments. It doesn’t help your point of view. If Allen doesn’t play the 3 what does he play? The 2? Doesn’t donovon play the 2? Do we really want donovon playing the 1? Pretty sure I saw enough for that during the Houston series.

The rest of your garbage I’ll pass over. But it’s funny that you bash fans for having opinions about these players. I’ll be honest, fans aren’t always wrong and this management isn’t always right.

Fans were crazy over Kawhi. We drafted Burks.
Fans wanted booker. We drafted Lyles.

So it’s not beyond the realm of possibility that fans might be right about this pick. DL has certainly busted in the draft.

So, you thought we were definitely getting a starter at 21?

If this guy is a dirty player, maybe he could be tutored by Stockton in how to do it...and get away with it most of the time?

More proof of how racist you are. I can't even imagine some of the **** you'd be saying if he had cornrows.
 
Few thoughts after reviewing highlights:

1. Goodbye Neto, you were great (or Exum, one or the other is gone).
2. Is immediately our 2nd best SG if Exum is gone or you consider him (Exum) purely a PG.
3. Is immediately our 2nd best 3 PT shooter after Ingles.
4. Has great upper body control and shooting form.
5. Good to great hops
6. Good at feeding bigs for alley-oops (Great fit with Rudy)
7. Ingles and Mitchell will be a great tutors for him
8. Should benefit from NBA offensive sets getting open 3s for him (game translates well to NBA)
9. Very good open court player/finisher
10. Good at digging out steals/playing the passing lanes and getting into the break

Was very prepared to not like his game based on his past actions but was surprised at the quality of his game and the fit with the team's needs.
 
If Im being objective. this is the worst selection in the 1st round... I'd give it no higher than a D-grade, and probably more like an F. Especially with all the talent on the board this is a reach..

Did you see Duke play defense this year ? lol They were a house of straw on the perimeter.

Just my 2 cents. Not gonna argue, just figure i'd let it be known.

Bunch of the players I've been saying are better than Grayson for years, Jerome Robinson, Josh Okogie and Kevin Huerter, all went infront of him...............................
