Jazz trade up from 30 to 28 and select Tony Bradley

[stitches]

I hated the pick and the trade to make the pick but the analytical projections really like Bradley. Pelton's prjection has him no. 10 in this draft and Andrew Johnson's projection has him at no. 6:

I' open to trying to like this pick. The Rudy like wingspan.

Yet I fear every Frank Mason highlight on ESPN, I will remember this pick

I don't mind taking Bradley at all. It fills a need at backup center and helps our rebounding problem when Gobert is off the floor.

He's still only 19 years old. He's the best offensive rebounder in the draft and one of the best defensive rebounders as well. He has Gobert-esque type of length as well.

Trading 42 to move up from 30 to 28 was a little steep but we don't know exactly what was going down. They likely either thought the Lakers were considering him at 28 or the Spurs were at 29. In the grand scheme of things I don't think it will matter much and I trust DL.

They also could have wanted a one or two of the guys who went before 28 and were worried about losing out on Bradley too.

Who's Andrew Johnson?

I'm good with this pick too, as long as he doesn't start dating a Playboy Bunny.

He was referring to our previous backup center, Withey.

If we can just keep Hayward and Hill. This team will be as deep as any roster I've ever seen

One of the few that publishes his work for the public.

Locke took bradley in his locked on nba mock at 24. Today Locke said that he was on jazz plans at 24 before trading up. Interesting.

Loved DOL jumping the Spurs to get their guy.

I'm well aware. You'll see my comments on the Withey thread from a few months ago. The photo is illustrating Bradley not liking the statement.
