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

[NAOS]

another #Bulldog

 

[Bawse Dawg]

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.

There are plenty of us who might have traded 24 and Hood for Mitchell. The fact that all it took was 24 and Lyles is amazing.

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

What a coup. Giving up a guy who, while I personally liked him, had a god awful year to move up 11 spots in the draft is nuts.

Now I know nothing about Mitchell, but his athleticism is great and he has a willingness to play defense. I like both of those traits. I hope he works hard at his shot.

His shot is already pretty good. Biggest area of improvement is handle and finishing in traffic.

I fear Lyles will now break out of his sophomore slump but this seems like a good trade. Time will tell I suppose.

I will miss the Ingles/Lyles twitter banter.

Plus he was super excited to be taken by the Jazz.

Kosta Lyles.

Solid trade. I like Mitchell as a prospect. I LOVE that we didn't give up a ton to move up. I'm just not jumping for joy because I think higher prospects on my board will be there at 24. Which makes me nervous.

And DL shave about a mill and a half off the books. Could be very handy when it comes to players like Hill.

So #13 (Mitchell) and 1.4 mill in space for Lyles and 24.

DL just crushed this.

Tony Jones of the Trib gives the trade an A.
