I feel for you.. must be frustrating. I'm not really a fan but even then it's frustrating for me watching him with so much talent and yet singlehandedly lose games because he can't keep that emotion of his in check.
 
I think clean cut players, with no colored shoes (all black and grey), and no head bands is classy. I dont care about titles. I want a sharp clean respectful team out there.
One grandma can be proud of.
 
So kirk snyder was a "good guy"?

And enes kanter was a "safe pick" rather than a pick based on potential?


Ya I wish we had more enes kanters and kirk snyders on this team

Good point. It's like all the picks that haven't worked out are the risky ones.

This thread is ridiculous. Show me 10 teams with better overall drafts considering position than the Jazz since 2011.

PS... now virtually every team comes in and comments on our length.

PSS... the Lakers won a chip on ship and we're perennial contenders with 3 seven footers on the court. We are built more after their mold if you ask me.

PSS... the spurs don't shoot for the fences. Kawhi was about the safest pick in a draft, but no one thought he would be what he is now. The other philosophy , bright eyes, is to bring in a coach who can develop these talented, long, motivated, and young players.

PSSS... the one player we drafted that didn't fit the mold under DL? Trey Burke. Youngish... penile picks... and short armed. He has been a fan favorite here.

I see a plan, a technique, and growth. I for one am glad the days of quincy lewis, cj miles, Morris almond, curtis borchardt, luther... (need I continue?) And TY Corbin are long gone.

The clip on this bra is welded. Support! Bra out.

Where do some of you get your info? Burke short armed? He has a 6'5.5 wing span at slightly under 6' bare foot. That's a longer ratio than Hood, Hayward, Burks, Lyles, Neto and Exum. Burke is only behind Favors (slightly) and Gobert.

Its really at the heart of the problems for the Jazz, and the reason why there are no championship banners in the ESA.


The common theme the Jazz seem to use for drafting, is just try to bring in "good guys". It seems like they are willing to pass up potential for safe picks too.

This gets so old and frustrating. At what point do they say to themselves, we actually want to win, and we are gonna take some chances?

Trey Lyles is a perfect example of this. He's got all the makings of a good role player, and zero star potential. You are kidding yours if you think otherwise. So the question is, what is the point of that? Why spend a bunch of time developing a guy that you could replicate pretty easily in a trade or free agency?

I know it's hard to land a star at the 14th pick, but you still have to take swings and try. There were a bunch of players picked after Lyles that have higher upside than him.

It's not just Lyles though, this has been going on a lot. Rudy is the only draft pick in a while that they took a swing on, and that was lucky as hell that they got Denver to trade that pick for so cheap. Rudy was passed on basically twice by the Jazz when they traded for stupid Trey Burke.


It's either their philosophy sucks, or they just plain suck at picking players. Either way, it's broke. They are always going to be a step behind if they keep drafting like this.

Just saying.

My god hack!!! Don't be an effffing idiot!!! So, u know that Lyles is a bust after 30+ games, and that Booker will have the better career after 30+ games?!?!

I've said it once I've said it a thousand times!! Your an idiot!!!!

Pssssss.

We aren't the Spurs or the Lakers, and we have no championships. I'm not sure why they have any relevance to this conversation. Their players and the choices they make have nothing to do with us. Let's not get delusional and claim their success is ours.
