Last years draft was weak.
Burke's pull-up is on par with Damian Lillard's coming out of Weber State

The Jazz could've absolutely stole the show that draft, Instead they paid a premium for Trey, who was selected 2 picks before the Rookie of the Year.
BPA, BPA and buying that rudy pick for another BPA.
Team USA member Mason Plumlee was available at 21, so was All first team rookie Tim Hardaway Jr.
Truth is....95% of teams ****ed up that draft.
yah but there was still low hanging fruit available, the jazz climbed to the top of the tree and picked some unripened ****.
I agree with all of this. The jazz did the right thing.... moved up and got the best point guard (according to the majority) in the draft (a position we needed)Hitting on 3 of 4 is pretty good. I don't fault DL for taking a shot on Burke. As I recall, he was actually projected to go a bit higher and when he fell, DL combined assets to move up. You can play the coulda, woulda, shoulda game to death. Burke was going to go in that range. Not sure MCW or McCollum would have been better choices. As you noted, it was a weak draft. Hindsight shows Utah should have stood pat and taken the Greek Freak. But we really needed a PG, Lindsey moved up to get one of the three available.

No need.Someone needs to make a thread with the best and most probable trade situation where we can get rid of Burke and Kanter for a pure backup pointguard that's under 30 and somebody that can shoot the ball.
