I think part of the reason why people are so freaked out about this draft is they know we're going to lose Boozer, so it is going to be nearly impossible to replace him via the draft. So unless we pick up a suitable replacement in free agency or a capable backup for Millsap, the team might take a slight step backward for a year or two. But I honestly think the team is going to be just fine. I can just see why people are upset.

Oh well. Jazz fans have been demanding we get rid of Boozer for a couple seasons now. They'll get their wish. They should've had the foresight to realize replacing him, even with all his flaws, would not be easy. But if there is one thing Jazz fans lack, it's foresightedness.

I think a lot of posters have realized this Cali. Which is why some of us wouldn't mind us to trade down. To me, it would be awesome if we could get two average players than one. But perhaps other teams realize this as well so that the #9 isn't all that attractive?

I wouldn't be opposed to trading down. The talent level drops off significantly after the top 5 picks and pretty much stays the same for the next 15 picks or so. A lot better chance to get at least one solid player when we got two chances at it. And that goes for any team, because drafting players isn't an exact science.

Exactly. Since we aren't in the top 5 I would love to get 2 later picks for our 9th pick.
 
I just hope this pick will turn into a guy who is athletic and can block shots. With that in mind I am higher on Ed Davis and even Aldrich over Monroe.
 
I tried to prepare myself for the worst but I was not prepared for the level of stupidity.. KOC you have outdone yourself... Davis was on the board!!!
 
Yep I wasn't prepared for this "worst" either, I thought this Honzward was just a smoke screen to get other teams interested.... DAMNIT
 
Told you to prepare for the worst... I didn't think Hayward would be the worst. This is by far worse than what my idea was the worst.
 
Good thing we traded Brewer and didn't draft another wing. We were so overloaded....
 
Hopefully it pissed you guys off so badly that you cease being Jazz fans and dont post here anymore. Good pick, IMO..Would rather of had Aldrich, but hey.
 
It's funny when the actual draft comes. People talk the talk but when push comes to shove, teams panic. The Jazz said they tried very hard to move up but nothing budged. I don't remember the last time so many lottery teams kept their picks or didn't do any trading. Honestly, I think it comes the upcoming free agent class. I think that people took the best player available to use as part of a trade later on.
