Utah Jazz Select John Tonje, Pick 53

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Draft Combine says 6' 4.75'' (without shoes)

Does that mean 6-6 with shoes?

6'10 in stillhetos

 

[Basketball Novice]

Does Tonje make the roster? Does he have a chance to earn minutes ahead of any of the other young guards on the roster?

Yes

NGL, I wanted Toohey for the Aussie fans here. They suffer through some tough times with the rest of us. They should at least have a compatriot to cheer for.

nah he's not that good

I would have preferred Jaxson Robinson but it's mute as at best this pick is a 2-way player.

 

[seattlejazzfan]

58% FT rate and 91% FT shooter. dude gets to the line and converts.

Jazz summer league team is going to kill it as long as they find a servicable center.

Why I’m on this board. This is what it’s all about.

We’re all Fletch fans. He’s the only Laker that doesn’t suck.

I’ve also driven past the hotel he stayed in when he came to “Provo.” It’s in Ogden.

 

[Sardines]

I just want the jersey so I can travel around the southern U.S. wearing it so that I can spend an exorbitant amount of time answering questions about how to pronounce the name.

I'm guessing Flip gets minutes there.

Probably plays in about a dozen games for us with limited minutes.

Oscar Tshiebwa? I think the Jazz will keep him around in some form.

Tonje kind of like a matured, lower ceiling Sensabaugh?

Interested if you have any more of a take on him.

Listened to the No Ceilings 2nd-round livestream and they thought Tonje has no hope of doing anything in the NBA. Barlowe brothers, on the other hand, thought that all the Jazz wings are going to have to bring it to try not to get shown up by him in training camp.

I've sort of wondered if he's like a Juzang replacement (should the Jazz choose to move on).

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Barlowe said Tonje is "scary hours" for Jazz wings because he's older and might be better than some of the Jazz wings. Said he heard Tonje killed the predraft process but teams wrote it off to an extent due to his age.
