Draft mistakes

[The Midnight]

He wouldn't be a good fit for any system. Burke stinks. Sorry homers but it's true.

He was 2nd in the rookie of the year voting, not being a homer but he was at least decent under that system with the ball in his hand 90% of the time.


Now he's more or less reduced to dribbling up the court, 'some' pick and roll, and catch & shoot.

Since we are still in the middle of rebuilding, kind of hard to make any hard judgement. The draft is always hit and miss, so I don't get too much into second guessing draft picks. If there was a mistake made, it was failing to accept a full rebuild during the lockout year. Had the right decision been made that year, I believe our rebuild is in a much better spot at this point. But hey, then we wouldn't have had the advantage of our players learning from 4 extra games. Can't image how bad our players might be if they hadn't played those 4 games.

Screw you doubters. We got Exum and a whole potful of complementary players mostly under contract and all under 25 for the next few years. Anything we did differently along the way screws that up. Still not convinced Glannis knows how to play basketball. . .

I agree somewhat.

I don't like that we have let so many good players leave for nothing.

Not all draft picks have been bad though.


And also, this is just gonna have to take some time.


I think a future core of....

Hayward
Favors
Gobert
& Exum

Will be pretty good.


Who knows. Maybe we get the next great player in this next draft.


No one said rebuilding from the draft would equal success overnight. This type of rebuild is a long process.

Winslow!

The Jazz have been Corbined.

I think the Burks extension will hurt the team 10x more than Haywards.

 

[yamers]

Burks will be alright.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Burks will be alright.

I agree with this. I think that Burks will be fine. They're all trying to find their way through a new coach's system and getting used to different roles.

His defense has been as poor as anyone's.

Our starting 5 is currently outscoring the opponents by 3.1 points per 100 possessions in 178 minutes...

...but those players aren't "complementary".

Before this season they only played together for 123 minutes in one whole season.

We have a completely new system, with young players, that haven't played much together before and are doing reasonably good sofar into the season but they are not "complementary".

3 of 5 starters are defensive liabilities and both Hayward and Favors are decent to good defenders.

Hood is the only pure shooter in the first 3 positions....Hayward is a good shooter, surprisingly consistent till now...but he has often struggled with his shot. Quin's offensive system needs reliable shooters.
