Draft grades for the Jazz

And an F for the trade?

So far, but fortunately it's weighted small in the average.

I'd give the Jazz an A for this draft, and it would be an A+ if it weren't for the trade (at least what is known about it).
 
This is an A+ draft. No question. We get a top-4 talent at 5 and a top-15 talent at 23. Took probably the consensus BPA at both slots and they both fit needs.

Wow!
 
I like that Exum is going to take pressure off Trey Burke and let him roam around a bit off the ball.

Then playing Burks and Exum together is going to be a nightmare for opposing guards.
 
And an F for the trade?

I can't help but think there has to be something else. Maybe cash? Only other thing I can think is that it will give us 3 (along with Us and Warriors) 2nd round picks in the 2016 draft. Maybe those 3 make a 1st round?
 
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.
 
I'm happy with the trade personally. We really just needed to shed the pick - we don't have the roster spot. At least we got something for it
 
I am happy with the draft. As much as I like A Gordon (didnt expect Exum would be available at #5 before), I still think Exum + Hood would be far better than Gordon + any PG avaialble at #23.
 
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.

Love this draft, really hope everything pans out. So many teams got really good players...
