With the 52nd Pick the Utah Jazz Select Joel Bolomboy

[Miggs]

Withey played when we needed him to, when Gobert got injured. You don't need your back-up center to get regular rotation minutes, you just need him if your main center goes down.

It's not that simple.

I disagree, I think Mack and Neto both proved themselves as legitimate 2nd string PG's in teh NBA.

Fair enough. I won't argue against you on that

 

[fishonjazz]

I would be fine with a pg rotation of hill, exum, neto.

I did it purposefully. Going with 15 isn't wise imo because it limits trade possibilities.

So.... let me reiterate.... How hard would it be to cut bait with Ingles or Pliess if the right deal came along??

 

[Miggs]

He played less minutes per game than Withey and could barely get on the floor in the playoffs even though their starting center got injured.

Because Withey had to start a big chunk of games. And he played 8.4 minutes per game in the playoffs. That's not nothing and he didn't play more because of their want to go small.

And we have been saying we will trade/cut Burke for the past 2 years, hasnt happened.

We needed him to start the season, as I think it was just him and Neto to start the year. I think the Jazz have tried and failed over the last year to trade him. If he's not on the team this year, it's most likely going to be, because the Jazz bought out his contract.

I think Mack doesn't want to be a 3rd/4th string pg again and he will let the guy walk to pursue greener pastures.

U don't let Mack walk till u know Hill and Exum will work out. Mack is used to being that low on the depth chart anyway

I would be fine with a pg rotation of hill, exum, neto.

My gut says that is what it will be.

Speights is not good.

High motor, excellent rebounding kid that is still developing the mid range game he's gonna need. Good body and the kid has the "want to". Could be a taller Millsap.

I'm thinking a more skilled Faried more then he is a Millsap type. He's super athletic lighter and taller. 6-9 225lb where as Millsap came in at 6-7 245. U could tell coming in he had good form on his jumpshot, he just never used it or developed it in college. Bolomboy's jumper has a bit of a hitch. He holds the ball in his jumpshot and releases it late while coming down. That could be a problem, but if worked on he could have potential as a floor spacer

He dindt play more because he sucks at defense and isnt a difference maker on the glass.

Biggest thing with Nolomboy is that he doesn't have a good feel for the game. Maybe that will come.

Interesting enough, he has a Ukranian passport. Might stash him?

I'll try not to be too long winded, but basically my in-laws have Weber State season tix, court side, and they never use them. I've probably seen all but 5 or 6 of Bolomboy's home games during his time at Weber.

He was SO raw as a Freshman but you could see the NBA body was there. His biggest improvement over the years has been his footwork and his college coach will be the first to tell you that. He's really turned himself into a good face up jump shooter (still has to get better) and by his senior year he even started taking and making a couple of 3's. I think the best thing you can say about the kid is that each and every year, he got better. There was constant improvement and he was always praised by his coaches for not being complacent and working to get better. Dude is a rebounding monster and as I said earlier, a high motor guy. A taller Trevor Booker is s really good comp IMO.

I'm a bit of a homer on this kid but he's an NBA player. Never be an All-Star, but will make the team, give us a solid 6-8 years, and qualify as yet another Lindsay late round steal.

You beat me to this post and took the words out my mouth. been attending weber state games on the reg (even got to see almost every game of D-Lil's career). He is a high character guy that i (and Utah Jazz staff have also admitted) cant believe he dropped down to the 50s. An athlete of his breed, if they can combine the freak measurables with some actual skills (hes a rebounder, and becoming at least a decent shooter for a pf), then they stick in the league. He will stick.
