Punch Bowl Re-Filler
I could be mistaken, but I thought there was a rumor the Jazz were interested in a big, but heard he'd be gone before they picked. If that's the case, they would have been targeting Adams or Olynyk. Had they gotten either of those two, they probably would not have drafted Rudy. I originally wanted Adams and Schroder, but saw both were rated higher in the mocks than where the Jazz would be picking. So I switched allegiance to Gobert with the 2nd pick and let several others convince me Giannis should be the selection at #14.I get the point of it, but they really shoud have stayed at #14 and #21 and trust their scouts. I don't think that DL did that. Would he have picked Antetokounmpo? Probably not. They were picking for need. I think that means that they end up with either Muhammad or Schroeder. Both would be upgrades over Burke. Draft for size or speed vs. intangibles or college success.
Imo, it was a rookie mistake. And a minor one at that. But you have to realize your mistake and move on. They have to bench Trey Burke. Right now, he hurts the team more than he helps.
It's all good, though. By shooting and defending so poorly, Trey has been a major part of the tank last year and this one. Jazz got Exum last summer and every game Trey can shoot us out of this year may boost us a spot higher in the draft.
