We need to draft D'Angelo Russell and hope he doesn't shoot up draft boars like top SG's have in the past.

You know I really like him too, but something has been bugging me with him. He goes off in blowouts and he can't buy a bucket vs NBA or close to NBA level talent. Still small sample size but it's something to keep an eye on for in the coming months before the draft:
vs Marquette 2/5, 2/3 from 3 in 31 minutes
vs Louisville 6/20, 0/6 from 3 in 31 minutes
vs UNC 4/17, 3/10 from 3 in 38 minutes

I have to watch for it more closely and analytically next time I get to watch him.

I worry about D'Angelo's athleticism--quickness, strength, etc.

He still drops them dimes though.

Yah, his overall game is good, he rebounds and he assists pretty much every game.

Meh, how are his intangibles?

Has anybody else noticed that the Jazz have played a lot better on the road than at home.

That's because they get booed at home.

For those who hate Burke, it could be worse...MCW is about as horrid as a PG I've ever seen who is somehow considered good.

Yep, it says something that Philadelphia was shopping him right after he won ROY. I don't think MCW is considered all that good. Harpring made a pretty good point about the Utah rebuild vs. Philadelphia's. He pointed out that none of the players in the game may be building pieces for them, whereas Utah has several to build around.

If I was philly I would trade MCW and go after Mudiay in the draft.

Agree.
Although how do you pass up Towns or Okafor? I guess they have to bank on Embiid being their answer inside.

 

[Stifle Tower]

100% correct.
He was dominant.
Idk what it is about favors but he just flies under the radar for me no matter how good he plays. Lots of games I don't even notice him and then check the box score and he has 20 and 12 or something

Probably the most undervalued player in board history. 90% of posters keep trying to trade him. I think Gobert/Favors WILL work. Jazz just need to bring in shooters.

Weird. I would have guessed there were more than 3 posters on this board. This adds to my theory that pretty much everyone is a troutbum alt.

Obviously hyperbole, but it just seems strange to me how anyone could suggest trading Favors. And there were more than just 3 who seemed to want to get rid of Derrick in the thread linked below.
