I'm going with B-
I don't love Udoka at 27, but he is huge and allows the Jazz to play 48 minutes with a defensive intimidator. I think he will be fun to watch and is a guy who will add toughness. Also he is going to be ready from Day 1 I would assume. He will give the Jazzs 2nd unit a huge lob threat and someone who can maybe eat vs smaller backups.
I love what the Jazz did with 38. Using it to get off Bradley was great. We never have to watch Bradley again! This was a move I was anticipating and hoping for.
Trading back into the draft was also a great move. I'm upset they didn't take my guy Woodard, but I do like Hughes. I'm not a huge fan, but some people I follow are in love with him. He has serious offensive game and his jumper is buttery. The Jazz don't have any bucket getting wings (Bogey a strict 4 to me with his age) so I think I get going him over Woodard.
The Jazz took a draft lower in potential to address team needs with upperclassmen. Never a popular route, but I get it. Udoka will be getting rotation minutes next year and Hughes may as well by the end of the year.
