Pick is Gordon Hayward; ESA crowd boos

The Thriller said:
We also booed when Raul Lopez, Curtis Borchart, Mo Almond, and Kosta Koufus were picked. How'd those work out?

the point isn't that we booed because he sucks. We booed because we have much more pressing needs, players available to address those needs, and we ignored them for a player who wasn't picked by anyone to go nearly as high.

He was picked as high as #8 on one mock draft. Many had him at #10 so that is clearly wrong or you just made it up.

There just has to be a trade in the works. There is no way this pick makes any sense without a trade.

I hope you're right - I wouldn't count on it though.

Didn't someone compare him to Luke Jackson on ESPN - got to be the first time ever a top ten pick was compared to a player that wasn't drafted.

Ugh..

People who were criticizing the pick were preferring Chris Paul. And Paul was better in his first year or so. But the claim was over a small amount of difference for most people. Where the Jazz were right with DW was in the durability department. Hayward's subpar speed and strength (durability) is a reason to question this year's pick.

Luke Jackson was drafted. He was just a monumental bust in the NBA.
