LIVE DRAFT - COMMENTS --- Agony, Ecstasy, etc.

[Jerry Lundegaard]

I love this pick! Van Gundy hit the nail on the F'ing head. Let Loozer walk, let perfect paul and AK man the 4...Let Hayward come on slowly behind CJ and Wesley. HELLUVA pick. People crying will change their tune no doubt.

There is a rumor that the Thunder are trying to trade into the top 10, but its unclear whether they are targeting Hayward or Aldrich according to Yahoo.

Maybe the Thunder will give us Maynor back.

Chad Ford's comment about our pick:

I like this pick for the Jazz. He's got a lot more upside than people think. He's a pretty good athlete, very versatile and tough. The big question for Hayward is what will happen with his jump shot. He shot 44 percent from 3-point range as a freshman and 30 percent as a sophomore. If he shoots 44 percent as a pro, he could be a stud. 30 percent? Could be a bust. A calculated risk for the Jazz.


It basically means that he will be the first one to say that the Jazz is stupid to pass up on Ed Davis, Paul George or even Cole Aldrich a year later........

Jazz stupid to pass on Paul George? The guy shot 42% for a team that is not even ranked. Even if you don't like Hayward, George is a much inferior prospect.

I actually like it.

Hayward is one of my "not gonna bitch" picks.

I am fighting it though.

I am encouraged that everybody hates it. With that in mind, what is the purpose here and what is the upside? He doesn't address ANYTHING the Jazz need next year or in the immediate future. So we are going to have a nice wing player with a high basketball IQ and can't guard anybody? Why not just retain Pillow Fort and move him to the 3?

OKC trading with NO, getting Aldrich. Was hoping Jazz would do something with the Memphis pick.

Maybe the Thunder will give us Maynor back.

Nope, the Thunder are trading with the Hornets.

 

[baka98]

they just announced a trade for OKC and the Hornets. I missed it.

 

[vslice02]

Bucher: Aldrich and Mo Peterson to OKC for 2-first-rounders (18, 21 26 - unclear precisely which ones).

 

[Chad Feldheimer]

Memphis takes Patterson?

 

[baka98]

Bucher: Aldrich and Mo Peterson to OKC for #18 an #24.

Thanks.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Van Gundy & Barry both like the Hayward pick.

They're on TV. They're pundits. That, and they don't actually want the Jazz to win.

 

[The-Joker]

Well.... I won't bitch...
Look at how the Jazz have done with previous picks... now Kosta is not great, but he wasn't a lottery guy. Maynor showed promise, but he was expendable.
But with solid picks like Brewer, Milsap, CJ Miles, Mo Williams, Wes Matthews (wasn't a pick, but still)... and with such a surprise... I have to think the Jazz see something.

Locke just tweeted that Hayward is going to be interacting with the ESA crowd somehow via Skype. Doesn't sound like the type of thing you'd do if you're planning on trading him.

 

[baka98]

there goes Henry

 

[NAOS]

I think this means Korver is out because we now have another cutie to sell jerseys to all the ladies.

 

[AlaskanAssassin]

Aldrich to the Thunder is an excellent fit! Not good for us. No way we win more games than OKC next year.

god bless it!

 

[Jeditiger]

I really hope that there is a trade in the works....

 

[Darkwing Duck]

Henry at #12.

Davis falling like a rock.
