I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED

[Dr. Jones]

I'm hoping for;

Johnson
or
Kaminsky

 

[Dr. Jones]

Btw, Kaminsky WOULD get meaningful minutes his rookie year.

 

[fishonjazz]

I'm becoming pretty certain Kaminsky is the correct choice. If he's on the board and the Jazz do not draft him I will be pretty disappointed. If we pick him it's like swapping Enes Kanter out for the player we wanted him to be, someone who could stretch the floor. Favors/Gobert/Kaminsky

I agree
I feel like getting Frank is sort of like getting a young memo.
And I loved memo

 

[Bawse Dawg]

Depends.

I would be overjoyed with Cauley-Stein, Johnson, or Booker

I'd make myself get excited about anyone else.

 

[BabyPeterzz]

I don't think we net Frank unless we trade up.

 

[Coach Ellis]

to see the Jazz draft another rookie who won't play much and will really have little impact on the game for his first couple of years unless we get lucky.

I just have a hard time getting worked up over a 12th pick, especially in a not very deep draft.

I hope we do something with the pick instead of wasting it by picking another rookie.

Exactly. The fact that Gobert, Exum, Burke and Hood have all logged major minutes in their first two years AND three of them are possible starters shouldn't be considered.

I get where you're coming from, but the Jazz have one of the best scouting departments in the business, and possibly the best player developmental coaching staff in the league. Combine those two things and we should feel lucky to be pulling a lottery pick out of what has turned into a deeper than expected draft. This team, as it sits right now, is a playoff caliber team with five young starters at every position. No rookie is the savior of this team. All they need is a solid backup and rotational player. Get one from the draft and one from free agency, and they're in business!

Funny thread considering the playing time the rookies received just last year.

Chad Ford: 'Frank the Tank's on fire'

"Frank Kaminsky was a 13, now up to 9, could go all the way up to 6. Could go all the way up -- believe it or not, Knicks fans -- to 4. ... Probably the hottest name right now."

From ESPN somewhere

2. Frank the Tank is on fire. Phil Jackson loves him. So does Vlade Divac. Michael Jordan won't pass on him at 9. 4-9 his new range.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Awesome. Keep pushing Turner and Johnson down the board.

 

[kabenac]

We have a chance to add depth to our team. This is why we're excited. If you don't like it go hang out with John Lucas III....

 

[BabyPeterzz]

Even if we keep the pick and draft whoever, all this trade speculation and chatter has made today fun and exciting, especially on JF.

Sure...we should have traded the picks that became Paul Millsap, Deron, Gobert, Hayward, Hood, Burke, Exum, etc. Should never have brought Wesley Matthews to camp. Rookies CAN and DO contribute! The main difference now is the Jazz have 5 projected starters AND a lottery pick. Whoever they pick can still get minutes but he'll have to earn them. I think that's a GREAT position to be in.

How many number twelve picks have impacted Jazz?
