Jazz select Grayson Allen at 21

[fishonjazz]

I want to see a poll on this pick. Seems like a lot of fans hate it.

I don’t understand it at all. Character matters. And just because Allen behaved his senior year doesn’t mean the character flaws aren’t there.

Some people make bad decisions and mistakes when young.

I did all kinds of foolish **** when I was his age that I would never even think of doing now.

His shooting stroke looks effortless.

Favors?

I'm in a mood: **** keeping Favors. I've been sick of talking about his potential, then his desire, then his injuries, then his fit, then, then, then I AM DONE.

Salty ...

If fish is happy so am I... okay still not happy but feel 3% better.

I’m happy with it but god damn it I would way rather have niko

I feel ya. What position is okobo btw? (Sincere question as I have no idea)

Were there good replacements for favors available that could stretch the floor?

 

[NUMBERICA]

I’m mad that I told Infection we had to keep the pick.

Same.

 

[fishonjazz]

I don't think it's crazy to mold a guy with a great catch and shoot and pull-up shot and we are talking about #21. If he provides gravity with his shot in a reserve role on a cheap deal, it's not the end of the world.

Okobo is a PG.

Bates-Diop maybe had that stretch 4 potential, but not a lot of guys this year in that mold. (I like Gary Clark in the 2nd round)

I wish we traded our pick for Niko at trade deadline...

Keita Bates-Diop. Who might not make it in the league, but I'd rather swing for the fences of "maybe he's a starter" than the excitement of "probably a decent guy off the bench."

 

[Jingled]

I have complete faith in Lindsey and Snyder. If Allen is their guy then I'm 100% behind the pick. I'm stocked to watch Grayson in summer league in a couple of weeks.

Here is the main thing I wanted from our draft this year.

When Donovan drives and passes, I wanted a guy who could hit an open 3. I also wanted a guy who could, if the defense closes out quickly, can put the ball on the floor and finish at the rim. If said player attacks the rim and the rim is protected, the player would be good enough to pass to an open teammate.

Grayson can do those things. He is a young Jamal Crawford and could have a long career.
