When you have PF like Jayden Quaintance or even yaxel landenburger whatever his name sitting in the 8-12 range you gotta acknowledge the strength of this particular draft class.
No, you don't have to acknowledge that. There isn't a Wemby in this draft class. This draft class is not distinguishable from any other year. In his draft year still around the end of the year Isaiah Collier was a projected top3-pick. And surely showed the strength of that class back then as well.
You do have to come up with something. Come up with logic as to why the decision to tank is the same as it was last summer.
The Jazz are now tanking their 4th straight season. The team, the owner, the FO, even the fans to a degree have shown what they want and what the strategy is. Anyone saying "now it changes!" has to provide evidence, not me.
Yeah, sure. If you believe the #7 pick is more valuable than trying to build towards something already this season. I don't.
- It’s harder to tank because young players keep getting better
Then the Jazz get rid of those players, as they have proven many times already if someone threatens the tanking.
- There is a better opportunity to improve team
Why? How? Why would it better then than now? The Jazz have bled assets and continue to do so, salary flexibility is going in the wrong direction. I think the opportunities are getting fewer and worse the longer this goes on.
On top of that, it’s just obvious that patience is running out. That isn’t necessarily a good reason to stop the tank, but it’s something that’s true unless you live under a rock.
Sure. If the owner, FO, you, whoever, admits that tanking didn't work out and I'm out, then I'm absolutely fine with that. Cut your losses etc. Took you long enough to find out, but hopefully that will carry with you for some time.
Key and Lauri don’t need to “learn to win”, they will win more when they improve and/or their teammates improve.
Nope.
