Travis Leslie:D-League Call up. WTH?

hehe, Travis has a the same standing reach and a greater wingspan than Gordon Hayward. And as of their draft profiles, Travis could jump higher. Now of course, Gordon is a more complete player, but Travis and Jeremy can have pre-workout dunk competitions. Talk about untapped potential if he just figures out how to play the game.

Yet he still was picked #47. WTH?
 
Um, Why did the team do this? I don't get it, we already have 14 players on the team and right now nobody's injured except for Millsap which I am pretty sure is just a bruise/pointer. There are plenty of players who can play the guard and he isn't a point guard unless I missed something. All this talk about them getting him early to have him for next year is nice, but if he can't stay on someone else's team than what makes us think we are any different.

Don't get me wrong, I like what I see in him, but the timing makes no sense. Is he going to help us get into the playoffs? And if he gets time, who's time is he going to take away? Um, Burks. Yeah, Burks. If I got my wish it would be Foye, he can't do anything but shoot.

The timing is perfect from the FO point of view. Bell needed to take the buy out by 1 March otherwise he's not eligible to sign with another team.

It's the Jazz's perfect revenge for Raja. They get a new player in Travis and hung Raja out to dry for 1 more year.
