Jazz select Grayson Allen at 21

He has already surpassed Hood in my books lol

I have to wonder if this is insurance (sort of) should we lose Dante.

I'll admit watching Donovan hug Grayson swayed me a little. They looked good together, and I could tell Donovan was excited to play with him, and vice versa.
Good vibes!

Now lets resign Favors, and Exum and stay healthy in 2018-19!

This is what true elite leadership looks like... and he's still just 21... This was the best part of the whole night.

and the more videos i watch, the more i read this is what im feeling. he will be a slighty more consistent version of Rodney. now i think he will have some off shooting nights, but like Hood able to give us a nice punch sometimes.

Where he passes Hood is his leadership, aggression, passion etc. Hood seemed not weak, but a tad soft.

Overall I've come way down from my hate explosion after the pick. I trust DL, and I'm going to be supportive. It's actually been nothing but positive news coming out since the pick. There is quite a bit to be excited/positive about.

His 8’1” standing reach and 6’7.25” wingspan coupled with 0 reps on the bench concern me in that I think his switchability on d will be limited due to a lack of size and strength. We shall see though. I’ll admit I didn’t think he played weakly and think he played longer than his size.

He has to have tanked that standing reach to pump his vert. 8'1".

Edit: I think the Bench is just that he didn't participate, not that he put up 0 reps.

I was wondering last year if Mitchell did the same, because he measured at standing reach of 8'1" too... weird. That's like... lower than Trey Burke(8'1.5").

Are these the only likely definites for next year as of now? Exum is restricted of course so he’s here if we want him here too. If we match him, that’s 10 guys. I’m curious how we fill out the roster? What is the date by which we’d have to renounce rights to Sef, Udoh, JJ or Favors?

Allen really impressed me in the interview. Just seemed so genuinely full of joy and came across as really likeable.

 

[Jazz Traveler]

Still hate this pick this morning. And my beef isn’t the skill level, it’s the character issue. I don’t think it’s something you magically outgrow. For somebody to have that many dirty plays it runs deep.

I felt like the 29 other teams did better this year in the draft than the Jazz did.

All reports I've heard are that off-the-floor he's a great kid, engaging and smart... very likable. It's on-court that he does stupid stuff in the heat of the moment...

We have until the night before FA to pick up options, submit QOs, etc. I think that's midnight next Saturday
