Ochai is a high level athlete with great length and a beautiful jumper and we got people who want to trade him cuz his stocks are a percentage point too low.
 
JazzFanz: *vote in poll based on facts that Ochai is meh*

HH: Ochai is fine, but he shouldn’t displace attempts at improving his position or the team in general.

Also JazzFanz: “UR A H8R.”

Literally not one stray vote landed on Ochai... and I didn't pick a list of world beaters. Wanted to have it be guys we could absolutely get if we wanted.

Since certain folks already had the belief I hate him... I wanted to give them something to point to... I'm a man of the people. Yall are welcome.
 
So when I said they all suck, does that make me the winner?
 
I will say that prior to HH having the stones to have an Ochai take that wasn’t boilerplate “OUR ROOKIE GONNA BE A STAR!” that Ochai just hasn’t really factored into my machinations for how to build a contender. Like, just doesn’t cross my mind.

Was it Thee that said that Ochai reminds him of Klay Thompson? I guess as long as we’re being homers, it’s fine to have weird opinions.

Basically. I think its harmless to keep him and continue to see how he develops... like I wouldn't trade him for a pick in the 20s. I would only consider it if there was value attached. My concerns are we let JC walk out of this desire to make Ochai a starter next year or that we pass on a prospect I think is better (or a FA) because Ochai must start. His numbers just don't justify it. If he improves this summer and takes a big leap forward... great then he should start or get a ton of playing time.

The point is really that he's fine... but if you got a good offer you should consider it... if you had the chance to sign a good SG you should consider it... if there is a guy like Hawkins on the board at 16 (not likely) you should draft the eff out of him. If not you keep him around and develop him... but I have serious reservations about anointing him our starting SG next year based on what we saw this year. He was fine.

I more or less agree with this. I really like Ochai...I like his length, athleticism, and I think he will be a 40% 3 point shooter for most of his career. Having said that, I don't think he should be in the same category as Lauri and Walker just yet. I don't think he should be off the table in trade discussions, and I don't think he should prevent us from drafting a shooting guard should the best player available on the Jazz's board be a shooting guard when they pick.

I hope they keep him and he continues to develop and turns into a really good starting two guard, but I definitely don't think he should be considered untouchable by any means.

You can’t be serious. This is one of the worst threads made in awhile. Truly dirty work with zero context and extremely cherrypicked.
