2017 Draft Thread

The hell is your problem... tonight has been good. He also drafted Hood...

We won't win 51 games next year. We just made the playoffs and we have already peaked.

Hayward leaves to Boston. Hill leaves to Minn. We get Donovan Mitchell.

At least he's big. We could've done worse. I just wonder what's going to happen at our 4 spot? Is Favors going to come back healthy? If not, I can't see how he plays anything other than spot mins for Gobert. Which means that Bradley will be our 3rd center.

Spurs was never gonna take Tony Bradley. Let's face it.



They have Gasol coming back and they have Dedmon backing him up.

Dedmon is a FA. Probably going to be a lot more expensive.

Bradley = poor man's Nikola Vucevic?

I wasn't excited about the Bradley pick, as there were other guys I wanted. However, DL had him targeted as the 2nd most player he wanted. Was going to draft him 24 if he wasn't able to move up, but still got him at 28.

Had a chance to move up for his guy and didn't want to risk losing out by a pick or two. We wanted him to be aggressive, but apparently some people wanted quantity as well. Sometimes you gotta pick your poison.

Do you guys think the Jazz will keep 55?

 

[NUMBERICA]

If I didn't know better, the Jazz are hedging for a full-blown rebuild.

Bradley ranked #10 on ESPN ranking?! Wow.

Sounded like that was a purely statistical/analytics rating, for what it's worth. But still, interesting.

At least I'll be able to get lower bowl tix for 20 bucks again. Yeah positivity

I had Bradley 28 on my big board so I'm okay. I think he's got a chance. He's mobile and long armed, best offensive rebounder in the class, high IQ on the court, good motor, underrated passer. And his offensive game has potential. He only shot 3 jumpers all year at Carolina so he wasn't really able to show what he could do there. He has a soft touch though. He reportedly shot it really well in workouts.

I just really wanted Semi or Bell. I really think both will be very good. Gonna suck that it's not with us.
