I've just told you how the Jazz pulled off an even more impressive "tank" last year to give the rookie Keyonte playing time - in order to keep the Williams pick.
Why do you keep implying that the Jazz are bad at tanking?

Why do you keep implying that the Jazz are bad at tanking?
I’m not imply we’re bad at tanking but at this stage with NO historically bad we need to ensure we keep on track.
Good to see Lauri missing tonight’s game for example.
It’s the first time he’s missed consecutive games in a month.
Clarkson doing Lord’s work for the tank tonight.
Well we could be better.
Warriors sat Curry for nearly the whole season. They did what it takes to grab our pick.
This game tonight is the first consecutive games Lauri has missed in a month. (Which comes after our win against Houston BTW, correlation?)
I’m hoping this trend continues.
Why don't you cite what we did last year, since it was a more impressive tanking result than what the Warriors did?
Yeah fun game.
Lauri and Collins out.
Rookies Collier and Flip shining.
It’s the kind of games I wanna see all the way down the stretch here.
100%.
IMO, I’d have taken Kas, VJ or Tre over Risacher as well. Sarr TBD.
The top 3 this year would’ve been the runaway #1 last year.
I think the quality of the draft class = stakes.
Some people only focus on the #1 pick in which case its just about amassing as manny lotto balls as possible to hopefully swing for that guy. I dont think any FO in the league thinks about it like that. Thats just fans getting hyped about "a guy"... but the mathematics dont really work for your favor here so the overall strategy has to be broader.
Imo you need to look at the top 5 to see if its worth it. This years top 5 are all better looking prospects than last years top 1.
