Terrible pick?

[LogGrad98]

Yep, the guy who shot 4 of 27 from the college 3 point line sounds like the perfect fit at stretch 4. WTS are people smoking? Never in my life have I heard such claims about a player because his form "looks good". The ball has to actually go through the hoop before you can qualify as a shooter.

Correction: before you can qualify as a maker. In limited minutes out of position he jacked up 27 3's while making 4...has all the hallmarks of a shooter/chucker.

Lol. I love this place.

Dr Jones!? Bust out the sedatives.

Its not a terrible pick until we know he's terrible at this point we dont know ****.

As much as I hate this pick, I agree. In a few years, we may all be eating crow. Still hate it for now, though.

Lyles hit 25 of 40 3 pt attempts in his workout for the jazz.
The only draft review I can find so far gives the Jazz an A+ for the selection

Sample size. Silly of you to decide a 19 year old who took all of 27 3s will not be able to develop that part of his game. Even if he were 0-27, it would tell us very little about his future as a shooter.

So what's sillier, calling him a stretch four when he obviously can't shoot as of now, or being skeptical about him as a shooter? I never said anything about him not being able to develop that part of his game. What's silly is assuming that he will become a stretch 4, just because his form looks good, when so far, he can't hit the broad side of a barn.

My comments were addressing the assertion that he's the perfect fit as a stretch 4. As of now, that just simply isn't true.

I don't think anybody is assuming that will happen. I think people, fans and Jazz FO, have hope it will happen.

I was actually getting pretty excited about Oubre. I think we are going to regret passing on him.

And what were our draft grades for Snyder and Humphries?
I remember a LOT of A's on that draft.

Also think we were commended for trading up for the other Trey. He was rated highly coming out of college.

To be fair Snyder would probably have been pretty solid if he hadn't turned out to be nuts.

Drama Queens out in force tonight.

I'm okay with it all I guess. All I know is I can't wait for summer league.

I guess I missed the post where somebody said he was the perfect fit as a stretch 4. My apologies.
