The Jazz have acquired the 13th pick and select Donovan Mitchell

I'm cool with it. We didn't give much up for him and he can guard any PG or SG. I've heard Avery Bradley comparisons on defense. For that alone it's a good pick.

Great trade, surprised Lyles was enough to move from #24 to #13

The only thing I can think of is Denver betting he gets his 3pt shot back to 38%. A legit sized PF with that will stick in the league.

If Donovan ends up a stud. Denver will never ever answer a trade call with us ever again.

I hope they get a halfway decent player at 24 so that doesn't happen. Though Nuggets fans are likely crying right now....

That's why DL and Perrin won't remotely tip their cap on who they like. Although it was sort of obvious we liked Mitchell....he was the only lottery pick we worked out.

A good write-up on Mitchell with a video of Mitchell. Ironic who Mitchell reminds the author (Dortch) of....

6'3" combo guard with questionable shot selection. Why so much hype?

He's not the #1 pick, he's late lottery. We got him for #24 and a player who was never going to do anything. If he's a solid contributor then it was a good pick.

But he's young and talented enough, that there is a chance he could be a steal.

I said this on the draft thread. 2-way players are more important than ever. Lyles would never be able to see the court in a Golden State series.

If we gave up 24 and Hood or Favors or something it would be a lot different. We moved up 11 spots and gave up Lyles.
