My thoughts on the draft (non Jazz related):
- Demin at 8 was a huge surprise. I don't know why BKN followed it up by drafting 3 other guys that need the ball in their hands to be effective. I like Traore to BKN, but don't love him trying to play off ball if that's what they are thinking.
- If CMB was disappointed by going to Toronto I think it's understandable. I can't think of a much worse situation for him. No shooters on the team and everybody needs the ball. I still think/hope he's good enough to stand out and be worth the 9th pick.
- I'm super jealous of Atlanta getting that NOP pick. What is NOP thinking? I like Fears and Queen, that could be interesting, but should be pretty bad year 1.
- Sorber to OKC is interesting. Not sure he'll get much playing time next year, but seems like an obvious replacement for Hartenstein.
- Hansen Yang at 16! Really cool for him. I'm excited to see how that works out.
- Kas dropping and us not grabbing him is a gut punch. I think he could be such a great connective piece for us. I think he's going to kill it in MIA though.
- No Fleming in the first round is interesting. If he can play minutes at the 5, he's going to be a great piece for a team in the second round.
