Utah Jazz Select John Tonje, Pick 53

I think we held a fraternity party at that hotel once, but the manager kicked us out pretty quick.

Aren’t there like 3-5 rooms?

so hard for the 53rd player drafted to stick, but Tonje was the bpa at that point. excellent pick. they did about as well as they could have. i thought tonje would go mid-40s.

Holy Jarrell Brantley Batman.

One story, maybe 5-7 rooms, someone like that.

Just catching up on the second round now.

- I would have liked to have the 43rd pick. We could have had Proctor who I think has a chance to be rotational. I also would have liked Small, Watkins, or Markovic there. We almost could have had Raynaud there.

- At 53 who cares. I'm fine with Tonje. I would have preferred Bates and a few others that didn't get drafted.

- I spent so many hours on this draft and there are a few names I don't even recognize.

I am way more excited about Luis Jr our two way guy. But I am partial to guys who can guard.

I'm not more excited about Luis Jr, but I am curious.

I saw Tonje play a couple of times for Colorado State. He was their Nique Clifford before Nique showed up.

Solid program at Colorado State. David Roddy a couple years ago and now Clifford and Tonje.

That’s great. At least he can afford a new TV. Stuff like this makes me hope he can carve out at least a Niang like career.
