Takes on the 1st and 2nd-year players....and progress if there happens to be any

[fishonjazz]

I will go with superstars since I think both of them have a good shot at ending up in the HOF

For me a superstar is an MVP contender

How many all stars are you expecting to acquire per draft? Quite the bar!


I haven’t seen anything from these dudes, but someone tell me who the picks at those spots should have been that would have you feeling differently today.




This thread seems disingenuous as hell.

One actual star in the last 5 x 1sts would be great. Ainge hits a lot of base hits on draft picks was my point then and remains my point.

I was pissed draft night for us not grabbing Matas. Jury is still out on that one and will be for a while. I was also super bummed when the suns grabbed Dunn.

Also, I am not paid to be a draft analyst or a GM, so why can't I be frustrated when other GMs appear to do better? That's what forums like this are for.

Also we have to consider the Jazz are playing playoff caliber teams, veteran playoff caliber teams.

If we are getting our asses kicked by Washington/Portland/Brooklyn there might be some warranted concern.

Warriors missed the playoffs last year and are beating us by 40 at home

I disagree.

They might be better this year

Ah, I see we are at the "Walker Kessler will be a career back up!" and "It is clear that Taylor Hendricks will never be an NBA player!!!" point of the early season.

Especially from the people demanding that we give large amounts of playing time to rookies and second year players to "help the tank" then bitch about losing.

You guys should just get on that Ute bandwagon if you want to be frontrunners.

Losing by 40 at home is terrible regardless of who you played

I want to be able to embrace the tank while the young guys also flash potential. I don't want to embrace the tank while the young guys all look like busts

Patience is not a virtue for everyone.

Patience is not a virtue for everyone.

Extreme variance in performance night to night is to be expected with so many young guys. I'm sure we'll have nights where everyone looks good at points this year too. After the first game everone was saying it was a perfect L, competing with a playoff team until the end of a close loss, lmao

I mean it has been 2 games. 1 of those games the young guys looked pretty good. I don't think you are being reasonable at all.

It's fair to assess what their potential is at this stage.

Definitely not the rooks and the second year players we are talking about 2 games into the season. Not enough time to judge anything at this point.
