I think this draft class is going to end up being pretty good. There is some deep talent.

I have recorded all of the summer league Jazz games, but have yet to watch them. From the comments that I've read, I believe that all we really need from Lyles is quality backup performances. We hopefully have Gobert and Favors locked up for the long-term future so we really don't need an additional star at the power forward position. Honestly, other than backup PG, I am really pleased with our lineup and am content with allowing the cake to bake. Again, it's not like Lyles was a top 3 pick. If he turns into a good player, that is just another luxury.

Good for you. I will still say my thoughts you can just do whatever it is you do? Maybe everyone should just agree everything DL does? GMS make. mistake as often!!!! They are not WIZARDS!!!! You go back be Borg I will have my thoughts.

And alts make mistakes as often, too. Is it possible DL made a mistake? Certainly. Sure looks like he screwed the pooch with the Burke pick. Of course, he was quick to distance himself from it so perhaps he was outvoted at draft time. But is it possible me and you were wrong? No question. Read my posts after the draft. I was hyper-critical. I'm at least willing to entertain the possibility DL knows a little more than I do. Unfortunately, they didn't invite me to the draft workouts so I was unable to see what they did from a player who had a very disappointing season at UK.
And now that Lyles IS a Jazz player, I'm going to hope he turns into a very good one, even if that means I have to eat crow. I'm not going to root for his failure just so I can say, "I told you so." And the same applies with Burke. Hated the pick, but I wanted him to succeed. Now I'm 90% sure I can say "I told you so" with him, but I'm very sad if I was right.
