Did the Jazz Mess Up By Swapping their 2nd pick this draft in 2016

Whitehead should be in the Rising Stars game at the ASB.

Yeah, all he needs is Weak Sauce to put up a few more pathetic shots like that on a platter and people might start to take notice.

I like the kid but he's a turnover machine - 6 TO's in 16 minutes this afternoon - yikes.
 
He could have not hit the ball so hard and his team would most likely gain possession. But hey, it's a lot more fun to go blast it into the upper deck and show everyone how strong you are.

Watch some of Rudy's blocks where he's smart enough to control where the ball goes after the block. They should have 2 categories of blocks, one's where the other team retains possession and one's where your team gains possession. Rudy would be even more impressive because he'd have a pretty decent number of the latter compared to the former.

He's being asked to go above the call of duty, due to Lin's injury.. He's no pure PG he's in the early stages of that sort of transition.

This is an absolutely absurd criticism. What kind of insane acrobatic standards do you hold 2nd rd picks to? Are you saying he should've slowed down his approach and not explode off the ground as hard as he did to try and save the block?
 
This is silly. Whitehead has shown the ability to score a little. So did Jordan Crawford. It will take a lot more than that. For the record I am still happy with the Bolomboy pick.

It is well within the realm of physical ability to retain possession of the ball on that play. In fact, I think it's likely Gobert would have tapped the ball down so that his teammates got the ball there.

That's what I'm saying.

I have no idea who that person is, where he was drafted, or anything else at all about him. I have no standard for him. I was pointing out that instead of blasting the ball he could have tapped it to a teammate. Watch the video. That's a possibility.

Will you be able to relax now?
 
I wish QS would give bolomby some run in the NBA. Still happy with this pick but I think some recent years we've made errors.
Looking at devin bookers stats almost makes me cry on a daily basis. Hood's in a massive shooting slump and has been for some time now. Why ??? He's not good enough to start on his defence alone which leaves a lot to be desired.
Myles turner is another who looks good. He can rebound unlike Lyles and is aggressive.
Sometimes wish we got him instead.
Year after year there will be failures, surprises and players not quite living up to expectations. Guess we have to live with it.
Let's hope Dante, hood, bolomby and lyles develop in the same way that Rudy has.................
my pubic hair is crossed that they all live up to our lofty heights

Yeah, that was a monumental mistake. Probably cost the Jazz a championship this year. Darn it, the kids drank all the milk...can I borrow some to spill and cry over.
