Love Taylor Hendricks, don’t like the other two at all.
Grade the Utah Jazz draft.
- Thread starter Shad
- Start date
A+ if Keyonte could play the point and Brice has no injury issues.
A- otherwise
A- otherwise

Hendricks B+ - still have a lot of concerns about his defensive switchability and his finishing at the rim. Could be a great fit next to Lauri.
George C - jazz need a lead guard and I have always thought goerge is a chucker. I hope he proves me wrong.
Sensabough C- - fat and short are not a great way to start. He could be a flame thrower off the bench or not be playable because of his defense. Offense is amazing.
Overall a C+ to a B-

Jazz got three solid pro prospects with good size and shooting for their respective positions. They reportedly tried to trade up higher from both draft positions, but were unable to. They didn't get anyone who has top-20 player potential--I think Jarace Walker, Bilal Coulibaly and Kobe Bufkin have more star upside, but those opportunities eluded them. If the Jazz had gotten Walker or Coulibaly in the top 10, it would have been a A draft from my perspective.
I'd give the Jazz a B for the players they selected from where they were drafting. I'm guessing Washington threatened Indiana that they'd take Jarace Walker at #8 if the Pacers drafted Bilal for the Jazz. Their cost to get Bilal at #7 was just two 2RPs. Jazz surely would have offered more than that.

B+ feels right. Love Henny… like George… understand Sensabaugh.
Hendricks - A: perfect match for our long term front court.
George - D: I want him to be great, but I just don’t understand the upside. The best I heard is that he is a shooter who took a lot of bad shots that brought his averages down. Sounds like me on the bball court… can I get a contract to?
Sensabough - C: a good shooter late in the draft is good, but what position does he defend? Bringing in 3 rookies isn’t a great idea.
Overall - B-: love the first pick, but felt we should have used resources to move up in this draft on the second pickup.

Hire Dennis Lindsey to handle drafts but don't allow him to pick centers

I'm really happy with our three trees in Kessler, Lauri, and Taylor Hendricks.
Already talked myself into Brice, great scorer and rebounder to mix with those 3 shot blockers.
Keyonte i'm still on the fence, I'll give our draft an A- to B+
