I was hyped! Especially since the Magic were legitimately considering him at #2. If I remember right he was #1 on the JazzFanz Draft Big Board.

I'd rather cash in on the assets that we already have and get the guy we want.
Turner should be better defensively than Frye, at least in the post. He should also be a better scorer mid-range in.
Some Jazzfanz like Schroeder and Giannis, but to move up to 9 from 14 and get Burke was a pretty laudable move to most.

Well if there is a guy DL wants that he can trade down to get and pick up an extra future first. That's my point. I think both Grant and Wright are overlooked a bit.

Nearly everyone on this board felt nearly the same way. I can only think of about 3 other people besides myself who didn't like it.
I can't tell you exactly why I didn't like him. I'm also not saying that I'm some sort of perfect evaluator of talent either.
What I am saying is that sick feeling I got when the trade was unofficially announced is the same feeling I get when I think about the Jazz drafting Frank at 12. I'd be happy with him much lower (like the early 20's) but there are too many other players I personally would rather see the team gamble on rather than settling for Frank.
Yes, if the Jazz draft Frank at 12 then I believe they are settling, the same way the settled for Trey.
I'm going to go try to get myself psyched up on Portis and Looney now...
As much as people were celebrating Trey Burke's long clutch jumpers in college, it was at the same time an indication that he wasn't able to create a better opportunity for himself or teammates in key situations. I didn't like some of the shots he took, but I thought he'd be able to perform better with NBA spacing.
The funny thing is that Trey Burke's biggest problem seems to be shooting. That's how he's really been hurting the team.

I disagree. I think his biggest problem is shooting too much.
He also slows the offense so way down.
He's also a defensive liability who likes to point fingers.

I was pretty happy about it. My gut said he was a little too slow for his size, and it turned out to be true. But its his unforseen bad shooting that might ultimately have him fighting to stay in the NBA.

What are we not seeing with Frank then? I honestly want to know. I'm just not the least bit excited about him. I honestly feel it might be a wasted pick.

Disagree. His biggest problem is missing too much and not adjusting to shoot less when he can't make anything.
