Real-time NBA Draft !!

That makes me think GMs weren't trying as hard to unload picks as was reported by some folks.

Hard to say if those expectations were truly there among teams (not just reporters) before the draft, but once the middle and end of the first round picks became more or less inverted, there was little incentive for a team late in the first to unload picks. And we didn't have the assets to go into the mid-first. Trey plus 100 late second-rounders weren't going to get us there.
 
So, the Jazz don't really draft anyone in a crappy draft?

Good. We needed three things:

Starting PG - check
Starting wing
Backup vet Big who can hopefully hit a three

No one in the draft filled out remaining needs. I like what happened tonight. The Jazz offseason has gone very well so far.

Aren't Hayward and Hood our starting wings?


Plus when we re-sign Hill and Exum is ready, Hill is also a starting SG material.


Then there's Burks also.


IMO there's plenty of wings...

Jody gennesy: "Jazz GM Dennis Lindsey said the organization tried hard but was unable to acquire a second first-round pick."

Oh, well in that case okay.

Should have tried harder. Still think the Jazz had the assets to work with if they'd have kicked some cash and future 2nd round picks into the deal. Give me #25 and #26. Jazz walk away with Furkan Korkmaz and Skal Labissiere. Plus getting Hill. That's a helluva draft.

Then I take those two and make them live at P3 in the summer and play for the SLC Stars. Their entire rookie season is entirely focused on their development. I'm happy with Bolomboy, but selling #42 instead of taking Zhou Qi was a short-sighted move IMO.

This was a weak draft. I'm not sure it's worth giving up too much to trade back into the first round. Definitely not worth giving up our 4 1st round picks in the next two drafts. I also doubt teams wanted Burke or multiple second round picks for their first. What else would you give up? Also I don't think this team wants too many rookies this year, particularly 1st round picks that have a guaranteed contact unless they came for cheap. The only strength of this draft for teams is that the FA this year is going to be crazy and teams want players on cheap contacts to fill rosters that's why 1st round picks weren't sold because they are worth too much money wise.
 
The 76ers appreciate international players...now they have Saric, Embiid, Simmons, Korkmaz and Luwawu. Interesting core!
