isn't it easier to take someone alse than Tony B few years ago? Tony cost us a lot.
Tony is an NBA rotational player. He just isn't strong enough defensively to anchor a team's defense. He was a #28 pick. I wouldn't worry about it.
I worry that there were two wings drafted right around TB that would fit awfully well with the current roster. Kinda sick of this missing on picks doesn’t matter nonsense.
If we all had a time machine, we wouldn't be hanging out on these boards, we would all own NBA teams.
You mean Josh Hart and Derrick White? Ehh, I don't think they change the Jazz's outlook.
No, we’d still be sitting on message boards. Even if you had a time machine, you’d still get “u think u no better than GM lol.”
Yes. And are you kidding me... Hart would be good to have but Derrick White is a great perimeter defender and is basically the perfect player to put next to DM. If you have him you might not do the Conley trade and there is a pretty big butterfly effect.
The thing is GM's jobs is judged upon retrospect. Vlade can tell Kings owner that he would have drafted Luka if he had a time machine do you think it's enough for him to convince them to keep his job? Not saying drafting Tony is as bad as drafting Bagley over Luka but bad moves add up over time and I'm afraid we've had enough of those to put DL's job into some serious questions.
This is the most DL/basic Jazz Fan take. They look at a player and think “how would that dude help THIS team at THIS very moment?” (See our Doke, Grayson Allen, Tony Bradley etc etc)
I think they were looking at TB as developmental but that never happened. The Jazz are really good at having a guy light up summer league and then realize that the player just does not have it. They did this with Bradley and Trey Lyles. At least we got Spida out of Trey.
