Might be Time for a Talent Upgrade

I noticed that of the 15 players the Jazz finished the season with 5 were undrafted free agents and two were second round picks (Evans and Jarrett). Might be time to bring the youngsters we draft and give them their head.

Do you even realize how ironic this post is coming from you homey? (if I understand what you are trying to say that is)

Jazz started last season with Gobert (27), Favors (3), Hayward (10), Burks (12), Hood (23), Burke (9), Booker (23) and Kanter (3). Swap Kanter with whoever they draft in the lottery this year, plus hopefully add a free agent. 2nd round picks aren't always bad - Draymond Green, Danny Green and Khris Middleton would all be welcome additions. It's about talent, not draft position. For cost, I'd rather have Jingles (undrafted)over Marvin Williams (2) on our roster.

There's definitely room to upgrade the end of the bench, but the really important part of roster building is getting the top 8-9 guys you can for your playoff rotation. That should be the focus. Jazz top 6 are pretty damn good, young and getting better every day.
 
Nicely done, Mr. tennis. Very convoluted, but I think I got it.

Here's a wink from me to you: -wink-

I know I'm the king of the DLeague players but if you have a team of undrafted guys vs. drafted guys and high draft picks the undrafted guys shouldn't stand a chance but sometimes they do OK. It just seems to me the Jazz have an opportunity to improve things. I don't think Cooley is an NBA player. Chris Johnson tries hard and I love JIngles. But I think the Jazz have an opportunity to add three solid players and whatever else they can pick up in free agency. Heck they may be able to get a solid player too in a trade for some or all of these undrafted free agents. My $.02.
