Jazz select Grayson Allen at 21

Right. I don’t care if you’re Steph Curry and those are wide open threes. 85/100 is damn hard to do.

Unless you’re jimmer. Then it’s a piece of cake.

Dude, anyone can make 92/100 HS threes. I do it on the regular. Not the same at all!

Just curious, has anyone heard what jersey number Grayson will wear?

I’m guessing his #3 from college, can’t recall if anyone else has it.

Do you not see 2's and 3's switch on defense like 50 percent of plays?

you said: "He's 6'4 in shoes. He is going to have to defend guys 6'8 every night"

Okay, so you meant to say that he is going to have to switch onto guys who are 6'8 every night -- that was not clear from your post. I think most would have assumed you were talking about his primary match up, which will very rarely be 6'8.

I don't think you'll find facts to support 2-3 switches on 50% of all plays -- that is ~50 plays per night. Hyperbole is one thing, but that has got to be a large error

If it was only $500k (yes, ONLY $500k), every fan should have a bad taste in their mouth. Especially if that amount would've been enough to move up.

If DL felt that he could get the same value from an undrafted free agent that he would have gotten from the pick, why not take the green? Obviously, there was no one there that he had any excitement about.

Rumor has it that Grayson likes the number 12. 1+2=3, matching his college number. There won't be any problem with him getting that # on his uni.

Yeh I get the technicality of it but we were picking for Houston. Its like Nuggets fans claiming they traded away DM.

How do you know? Nothing seems to indicate this. He may have been a Rockets target and they were going to sign him if he went undrafted, or they may have planned to offer the dough to whoever drafted him. All these deals are not necessarily arranged in advance.

That Mitchell is a dirty player.

It looked like Grayson smacked himself in the face with his left hand before Spida slapped him a second time. Am I missing something?

Yea, but it's like when the big brother takes the arm of the younger brother and makes him smack himself, then says "stop hitting yourself".

That was kind of my point. If Lindsey sucks at drafting second rounders then I don’t really want him drafting second rounders.

He seems good at getting guys after the draft is over though (O’Neal, jingles). I say we keep doing that.

Jazz intellectual capital bandwidth is not unlimited. I'm sure they invest 10X the time evaluating first round talent vs 2nd round talent. Probably much more efficient and effective to get 10-15 players from D League, 2-ways, free agency, etc, when decisions can be made based on more data.
