Jazz Select Olivier Hanlan

[Stifle Tower]

Perrin worked him out.

Good to know the Jazz got some return on their investment.

Did the Jazz work out Hanlan? I'm too lazy to look back through the 103 players the Jazz brought in.

Workout interview is on yt.

He looks like a slightly taller version of Trey Burke Is he any better a shooter and can he play some D ??

I wouldn't mind taking Olivier Hanlan in the second round if we are going for a PG.

I like Hanlan. I think he's one of the better PG/SG prospects in the second round. I don't think we needed a PG, but if we had to take one, I don't mind him. I don't know what that means for Trey or Bryce... I would guess Hanlan would be spending some time in the D-League this year. He is a playmaker, very skillful and shifty player, great at finishing around the rim and also capable shooter.

I know those are highlights, but he looks plenty good to me. Nice quickness, nice quick hesitations, decent shooting touch. Scorer's mentality. I like it.

Yeah I agree.. makes me wonder why we wasted 2 picks to go get him that time?? LOL ...

I like how his legs move, nice and shifty.

This from SBnation...Hanlan steps into a situation in Utah that is conducive to a scorer thriving: While the Jazz do have Trey Burke, Alec Burks, and Dante Exum as backcourt options, Hanlan may be a better scorer than all three, and could certainly push for playing time as a spark plug in a second unit.

If he's a better scorer than burks the draft is a wild success

I think we picked him because he really impressed all DL, KOC and Sloan during workouts. Not sure what our plan is with our 4 PGs under contract though.
