What's new

Media Day!!!!!

All I know is that the San Antonio board seemed pretty crushed that we moved up to get him. He's only 18, hard to say he has no upside. . .

Since you basically can't play him alongside the Jazz's franchise player, it limits the upside on Bradley's ability to contribute immensely. The best-case scenario is he's really, really good eventually and gets traded.

Right which is why I didn't understand why we were so eager to go get him. I'd rather have semi, white, or moved up far enough to get Kuzma. Was a weird pick.
 
Kind of a relevant note for the whole "pace" discussion, a Boston reporter asked Hayward how big a difference it would be going from the slowest paced team to Boston. Hayward responded that he didnt feel like they played slow in Utah at all, just that they always executed a lot of reads in their offense.

Agreed. But, they obviously really wanted him and went and got him so let's hope we get something out of him besides 12-16 minutes a game of pretty good play.
 
Dont we need a back up center?

Actually, if Udoh is as advertised, then No. The point they are making is that, like Udoh, backup centers can be signed pretty easily and cheaply, so it's weird to spend a first and second round pick to get one.

(It won't be weird if he ends up playing really well for 16 minutes a game and we can flip him for more assets than we spent to get him. But, outside of that, it will be kind of weird, IMO, since I don't see he and Rudy ever sharing the floor).

I actually liked Thomas Bryant more. He can even stretch the floor some. To be honest I think Bryant and and Hart are better than Bradley.
