All 3 Picks

[♪alt13]

54th Pick

Dallin Bachynski-C-Utah
This isn't just me being a homer, hear me out. When freshman Jakob Poetl took over the center position during Bachynski's senior year he handled it with class. All indications seem to peg him as a high character, team first, good locker room guy. Dude is a true 7 footer with NBA mass that isn't completely inept at either end of the floor. Bonus: he doesn't have any hangups about Utah. I'll take that this late in the draft for sure.

42nd Pick

Michael Frazier II-SG-Florida
Kid is a shooter. 3pt pct.: .380(2014-15), .447(2013-14), .468(2012-13). Over his college career he shot .432 from behind the arc(227/525). He holds the SEC record for most threes in a single game, 11. At 6'4" 195 lbs he doesn't have elite size but he isn't a shrimp either. If his shooting can translate he could end up being a steal.

12th Pick

Trade Back pick up an asset
Ultimately, I don't think moving up will be an option(not at a reasonable price anyway). There really isn't anyone around 12 that tickles my fancy or would be a good fit. Does Lyles have a position? Portis just moves wrong. Not as bad as Vonmeh but enough to make me not want him. I probably should like Kaminsky more than I do but I don't. I'm worried he won't be an effective defender at the NBA level. Turner is the pick if we stay at 12 imo but it's not one I'm too excited about. Further there is a young kid slated to go outside the lotto that has All star potential.

Christian Wood-PF-UNLV
POTENTIAL, potential, potential. This kid has got it in spades. Elite length(9'3.5" standing reach), smooth athleticism, handles, and he can shoot. He does need to bulk up but at his age it's nothing to worry about. Even though he is a sophomore he is still very young at just over 19 he is younger than some freshman. He is definitely a project and a bit of gamble but with the talent we have both on the roster/holding the clipboard, and with money to spend in FA Wood is a gamble I would be willing to take.

Dallyn is from Alberta and I know people who've played with him. They all said he's a toolshed.

I really, really don't like Woods.

 

[Carbon13]

He will be a good consolation prize since he's a tall white guy that rhymes with Kaminsky.

Welcome back, whoever you are.

Welcome back, whoever you are.

How about Nick Paulos for the last pick?
He competed, played hard,” Jazz vice president of player personnel Walt Perrin said.

Perrin admitted that Paulos is “probably not” a draftable player for the Jazz, which could be said of most of the guys they bring in for workouts.

“But that’s not to say he can’t play somewhere,” Perrin added.

Being an underdog is nothing new for Paulos, who embraced the challenge of taking an interesting detour to a Division I basketball program after the likes of BYU, Utah and Utah State passed on him.

“I’m still a skinny kid now, but I was really skinny and I wasn’t that good, so it’s understandable,” said Paulos, who’s listed at 185 pounds. “But I’ve always been one who’s been underrated throughout my career. I don’t think it’s any different now.”

Why did you quote joe's post and then respond in this way lol

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

No way we draft 3 Americans.

Welcome back Hey Hey.


We have missed ya.

Taking a look over this guy's stats (from Utah), do we really need to use a pick on him? Wouldn't a draft-and-stash Euro make more sense and invite that guy to summer league? I don't see that guy getting drafted.

This. He's not getting drafted why waste a pick?

 

[Cappy_Smurf]

Yeah, Utah doesn't need to add 3 rookies. At least one of our seconds will be draft and stash or traded.

This is a great point. For me. I'd like to see them be aggressive this year in an effort to both upgrade the roster and add assets. Pick the best draft and stash guys with the extra 2nd round picks and let them develop overseas. Then you've got 3 options, let them stay overseas, bring them to play for the Jazz or trade their rights as an asset down the road.

What does the Utah give the Jazz that Brock Motum or Cooley don't?

I am going toothbrush shopping today. Does anybody know where I can get a good deal?

Nothing. He did impress the Jazz with his shooting in the workout he was at, but he's a guy they should be able to get with a SL or TC invite. Maybe even sign him to the Idaho team and watch his development from that standpoint.
