Draft grades for the Jazz

Not to spoil the circle ****, but I remember we got an "A" from all the experts for the Humphries/Snyder draft. The experts were raving about Humphries' NBA-body and the athleticism of Snyder.

I love this draft (except for not just doing a draft and stash with the #35). Lindsey and the rest were probably so excited by getting Exum and Hood, they just wanted to call it a night after that.

Humphries was a damn fine pick where we got him. How many players picked behind him are still in the league? Seriously, if you get a rotation player after 10 or so, you did really well.

But it took the trade to wake him up. For Utah, the draft was a bust.
 
lol @ Memphis and Philly.

What the hell were they doing?

Philly basically has already started their tank for next year!

Could you imagine, after the horrific year they just had, trying to sell season tickets with their 2 top picks being out? 1 of which, won't even be over for 2 more years? Just what the hell?

That happens a lot when you draft at the butt end of the lottery of a weak draft. You take swings for the fences and the Jazz did just that which earned them their grade. I remember that we needed a shooting guard in the worst way and Snyder was graded as the best available.

And an F for the trade?

That trade bought good faith. It greased the wheels of future transactions. We had little use for the pick anyway. Do you want an FO that is viewed in a positive light? A GM that is in the "in"? One that gets things done without jerking the other guy around or would you like to move to Cleveland?

Yes, I would say not having any rotation minutes likely available for anyone over the age of 24 is sufficiently young.

If we still had Corbin he'd find a way to get a veteran some minutes, even if he had to rip off the suit and step in there himself.

Lol, doing or not doing this trade does nothing to determine the future of the Jazz in Utah. All it did was create, maybe, a small amount of goodwill with the Memphis FO. So maybe at some point down the road they will facilitate a trade for us that might now requires 1 less second rounder than it would have before.

I heard that the trade was the best they could get for it, plus now we have three second round picks in 2016. Picking up assets.

I heard there were way better offers and the Jazz said, NO we want to take the worst offer. Breaking news of course it was the best offer.

Sorry, 4 hours into the day and I still haven't had my coffee.
