What do you mean by build a team around Lauri? How good can a Lauri led team really be? I think you are being extremely generous.

Defense and size for me in this draft. Just a quick check in on Anthony Black. Second among rookies in defensive rating and shooting almost 39% from three this season.

Yep he's always been talented offensively but he undersized (height wise) and has an awkward NBA fit. I didn't even know that Memphis let him go. He's too small to defend in the front court and way to big (weight, body mass) to be a perimeter player.

I mostly agree the exception being that we had a very good chance to make the playoffs this year. We had a run and would've been in the mix, but holding GS and LA out of the playoff would have been challenging. And a play-in game or two wouldn't have gotten us far. But I get your point and agree...

Cam Whitmore has been good as well, he is having a really good rookie season!

We're tanking and Will has to keep the team together. At this point in the season for a tanking team players are going to go out and get theirs. I saw a hand full of possession where Keyonte tried to bring the ball up the court but Sexton denied him. Good veteran-ish move to say hey youngster...

Keyonte got game lol that was nasty

I agree. I'm not really a draft guy but in Topic and Castle I'm seeing 6'6 Guards so I'm in lol! and I'm hearing Castle is a good defender.

Agree, I don't think that comment means we intend him to be part of our core. The issue I am still wrestling with is the fact that our Backcourt is bad defensively, and we will not take a significant step forward until we improve our backcourt defense. Turnover in our backcourt is inevitable...

Is he!?

True but his rebounding was clutch for us.

DA is Pissed right now! lol

We are super tanking lol

THT core issue to me goes back to his Laker days and that's his extreme tunnel vision. He's just doesn't play team basketball. He did make some significant improvements this year.

Our team is really soft. I'm not sure how we prioritize toughness in team building, but man Lauri, Walker, Keyonte and Taylor get man handled regularly. Rooks get a pass but man we have to get more physical.

I think the move now is to sit Lauri since the front office now has legitimate cover to sit him.

Those picks looked good tonight. DA to Lauri: "We really want you to stick around but if not oh well your not a top-10 player anyway and routinely enough you disappear from games. Matter of fact tonight was legends day (I think) and I'd expect you to show out in front of some Jazz great. I guess...

Do the Jazz really believe Colin Sexton is a long-term piece. It's been reported the Jazz (Danny) really believe in positional size, where does that leave Colin. I believe we've gotten conflicting messages on this.

Our boys fight no doubt about it. Keyonte became a real NBA player tonight!!

Sexton hyping Collins up, I love it!!
