Jazz select Grayson Allen at 21

Listening to the Givony pod... talking about KBD... said Indiana was going to take him if Holiday was gone... he fell 25 more picks... how did we (or Indiana or another team) let this guy slide that far? No medical issue...

DL said in his interview we had a couple guys we passed that gave us heartburn but you can only marry one... that isn't true... you can marry more than that.
 
Listening to DL talk and I get the allen pick more now... I think he could have had Allen rated lower than Okobo or even dead even and he would have taken Allen everytime if it was close. They have the Quin and Lang connection and have all the non-basketball info from really reliable resources, so its so much easier to make that call. I get it...

I wish we had gone and gotten KBD and I would be officially geeked about the draft, but a little sad Okobo was passed.

I said it while the draft was still going that if we somehow moved up a little to grab KBD it would be icing on the cake.
 
Missing KBD - especially with how far he fell - sucks and makes no sense to me. Picks were changing hands all over the damn place.

And yeah, if you assess that KBD and Allen are equally "safe" players in a general sense, filling a glaring need is an easy, easy tie-breaker.

Oh well.

If the Jazz believe in Rubio and Exum at the 1, they may not have seen Okobo as being able to crack the rotation. The fact that Allen can play two positions and both sides of the ball might have given him the edge there. The pick is starting to make more sense to me.

If the Jazz are serious about doing anything in free agency, they can't realistically keep both (maybe even either). Exum isn't a PG, neither are threats to make anything but catch-and-shoot or uncontested 3s (at best).
 
I’m still really pissed we traded Vince Edwards.

6’8” with a 7’0” wingspan and chiseled frame and ability to defend 2-4. 39.2% from three over four years...and that’s with just 32.6% as a frosh. 9.4 rebounds per 40 last year. 4.1 assists (and just 1.7 turnovers) per 40 over his four years there. 82% from the line. Tough as ****. Feel like he could be a better Crowder given what I see as likely better shooting. Why not have the cheap contract and renounce JJ or Sef or both.

Pretty sure KBD didn't shoot 66/100 on NBA 3s test like Allen, probably 25/100.
 
It's too bad that Robert Williams slid and that no one reached for Aaron Holliday. That took an extra player or two on our list off the board. I'd still be very curious to know how the Jazz and Mitchell feel about Josh Okogie. I get that we weren't close to getting JRob or Brown, but I'd like to have had a shot at Okogie.
