Not that playing them has to be mutually exclusive, but I still think Oni is more ready to plug and play to contribute than Brantley is.

It doesn't, but the question of need is a big one and the Jazz have one good NBA big on the roster currently (I like Davis, but all things considered, calling him "good" feels like a stretch).
I think it is a fact that the overall talent level in the nba and the draft has risen. Therefore a team can find more "gems" of talent later on in the draft. If the nba had the old rules, then teams would look for more plodding centers for an ounce of talent. Now it is guards and wings. You can be competitive with a good wing. The freakishly gifted the better but still you can be gifted with one that is smaller (look at Donovan, look at Harden).
Therefore guys like Brantley and Oni are going to be more available in the back of draft but because of the rules...they can take advantage of it, if they can develop their gufts.

Do Quin or the better players on the team have trouble calling out vets? Sorry, but Jeff Green sucks and his effort blows. I'm not sure what the issue would be with lighting a fire under his *** while simultaneously bringing Brantley up as a sign that the former's horrific play can't continue.
If Green gets the message and plays better, cool. If not, pull him early. Throw Niang in. If he sucks, throw Brantley in. Make it an open ****ing tryout.

Quin is a funny guy. He tends to stick with vets through thick and thin. It's like the younger players have cooties. Right now JWF is shooting 55% from 3 and Howard is over 60% in the GLeague. Oni is the Stars leading assists guy. More than once this year the vets have laid an egg.
On Niang: ehh. Just give Brantley the chance ahead of him so we can at least see what we might have. We know what Niang is, and it's usually quite bad and without any good flashes.
Something that I don't think gets talked about nearly enough is Brantley's passing game. He whips one-handed passes with either hand right on the numbers and his assist numbers show that. He just has a really good feel for the game while also being an absolute monster.

That was the first time I had noticed that in the video above.
He’s like the reincarnate of Bolomboy but with less rebounding and more fundamental skill.
At first I wondered how that works but quickly realized you meant with either hand.
