With the 47th Pick, Kevin Murphy

This pick helps boost the bench for the loss of Raja, Howard, and CJ. I don't see more than one of those guys coming back, maybe none.

Howard wasn't a good shooter for us. I'm glad we are adding a player with that ability. If he pans out he'll it will help improve one of our main weaknesses.
Got to trust the Jazz on second round picks. They've been one of the best at it since KOC got here.
 
I guess I didn't expect a starter or anything with the 47 ... so I'm kinda meh anyway. Would have been excited had DMiller dropped one more spot.

I trust the Jazz's draft choice. They have a pretty good talent at finding good players late in the 2nd. With that said, why are people so pissed we didn't draft some guys that everyone else passed up on too?
 
I like the pick, but am not head-over-heels. But that's usually where you're at at #47 and on.

You do what you can with what you got. But, ****ty.
 
By midseason, he will be a board favorite just like Fes, Wesley Matthews, Jeremy Evans, and every other "who the hell is that" pick/undrafted signing.

Having watched the videos, read about, and listened to the various interviews (Murphy, KOC, Corbin) I've come to the conclusion that this guy might be able to help us a great deal.

- Our 3pt shooting was the main concern last year. This is his STRENGTH. We've asked for it - we've got it.
- Our mid range shooting was also poor (with the exception of Millsap).
- He'll be able to come off those curls and really help us knock down a lot of those 'sitters'.
- He's 6'6 - so it's not like he won't be able to compete against legit NBA SG.

If he can imitate even 80% of the kind of success that Matthews was able to achieve - I think we'll be pleased with him at the #47 spot. Both were seniors. Matthews went undrafted. Both are known for their shooting abilities rather than their physicality.

I guess what I'm saying is that there is a template there and he seems to me to have all the tools needed to be successful.

Here's hoping for the best.

Cough cough, Mathews played PF for an undersized Marquette. Team people had questions about his ability to shoot and if he was quick enough to guard two's in the NBA. Obviously he proved everyone wrong by improving his shooting and guarding NBA wings. There were no questions about his toughness or strength. Murphy and Matthews are completely different players.

Matthews is 6'5" 220lb. Murphy is 6'7" 195 lb.

IMO Matthews also has superior athletic ability. All this doesn't mean Murphy can't succeed. Only that a Matthews comparison is a poor one.

I have been physically ill all night watching what might have been. I really wish I never gave up drinking. Utah could have seriously stacked the deck for years to come. Instead, we have to have pretty much everything work out just right, or we will be stuck on the treadmill of mediocrity for years to come.

This. Do people realize that teams were shopping Pau Gasol and James Harden to get top 5 picks, and they came up empty as well. Before the new CBA lottery picks already had a premium on them, and then when the new CBA was signed, that just made them even more valuable. The only move in the lottery was HOU & MIL which was basically a swap of picks. It seems like it was almost impossible to get into the lottery this year.

I still think that KOC will move either Paul or Al this offseason, so let's wait and see what he does.

You did not specify that in the original offer, and I provided a quality player assessment.

This shall not be forgotten.

Maybe a compromise, he will drop his rep power to an appropriate level for the amount of game you watched... rep you, and then put it back to where it was?

Does this work?
