He didn't shoot well, but OSU is trash. Hard to blame him when they basically have no chance unless he goes for 30.

Jazzbros, i am DRUNK! Any yall been on a pedal party before? Or midtown houston for that matter? Its a good part of town. We hit up woodrows, mmongoose vs cobra, porchswing et al. It was tiiight. Lookinh forward to pizza and watching some games. How dangelo doing? Dud e is tight. Go utes! Dennis lindsey said jazz got hella options past 12 spot. Feelin it. Go jamz!!
Russell is a special player. Arizona disrupted Ohio State and a lot of Russell's shots were rushed. I'm more concerned about Johnson going 1/12 for AZ.
He played really well against a 15 seed, then couldn't hit against a better (although not great) team. His stock can be anywhere from 5 to about 10 (don't think he'd drop further than that) depending on how he does in the coming rounds.

Russell is amazing, and Ohio State is trash. Shut down D'Angelo and it's hard for them to win. I actually picked VCU over OSU for that very reason. Russell doesn't fall past 4 IMO.
Johnson is another story. I still think that he's raw offensively and figuring it out, but is solid defensively. I'm glad that he struggled today because I think he's going to fall into the Jazz range and they can get him with a slight trade up. I want guys who will fit into this new defensive identity. Stanley Johnson is a great example of a guy that I think will end up being better offensively in the NBA than in college. Especially with a good coach, I think he could have Kawhi Leonard potential.
Jazz won't have another lottery pick for awhile. I'd like to see them be aggressive with the one they have this year to get a guy that they won't be able to in the near future. Would love to see them trade up for Johnson and then turn their cash left (after buying out Tomic and Neto) plus some future 2nd round picks to buy a late 1st and grab Justin Anderson to eventually replace Millsap as the backup 3&D perimeter defender. Add two more defensive minded wings that can grow with the Core group and then bring Tomic over to fill out the big rotation.

I think the Jazz like Anderson and see some Matthews in him. But making time for two rookies while trying to make the playoffs is not going to mix.

trade down and get Anderson.
