With the Fifth Pick... Dante Exum

[UGLI baby]

My problem isn't that I don't trust the office to evaluate talent, my problem is that the whole approach is wrong. Picking the best player available is a bad idea. You fill needs. The Jazz don't need a PG or a SG.

Still need to use some salary to get to the floor.

What next?

Teams don't actually have to get to the floor. Makes absolutely no difference.

 

[UGLI baby]

Why complicate things? If you need a centre, you draft a freaking centre. You don't draft a small forward, then trade your current small forward for dimes on the dollar to get a centre. You draft a freaking centre. Good grief, it's not that complicated.

Nice to see this board is as neurotic as ever. All the scouts and analysts think Exum will be a star. Who the **** cares you haters think.

This guy is all da ****?

I am amped. I think this is will go down as one of our best drafts. I mentioned many times that I'd like to see a two pg set.

 

[Fishsticks]

I also think we should grab someone at 35 and keep them. a lot of dudes that are 1st round talent available.

We agree!


Where we disagree is who will be the two PG's.

 

[Fishsticks]

We need to collect assets. Not future second rounders that might be worse than where we are today.

Had basketball practice and heard the pick on the way there.
Wow! Was not expecting Exum. And after he refused to workout for Utah, I'm sure he's a bit underwhelmed. Orlando taking Gordon at #4 was a complete shock. What a difference to go from Tinsley, Lucas, Garrett and then Burke to Burke and Exum. Wonder how this will impact Neto.

We need a big. I want khem birch

Get a PF at 35 and bring over Tomic?

 

[sktwstdfrk]

We need big alright...We need muscle and *********. Bring in Patric Young with the rd 2 pick.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

It's pretty much a guarantee this pick is a Euro, no?

 

[Fishsticks]

Get a PF and bring over Tomic?

I'd like that. We are one a year away at this point IMO.

 

[Stifle Tower]

Would be really awkward for Trey to be taking pictures with his replacement one year after he was drafted. My guess is that Trey won't be traded this year at least.

How did Bledsoe and Dragic work out for Phoenix this season? Are they looking to trade either?
I agree with you. Trey is going to start, Exum will get mins behind him and they probably both play together some eventually. Williams and Maynor played some together before he was traded. Burke, Burks and Exum could develop into an awesome rotation. We just aren't used to the concept of a combo guard.

 

[Fishsticks]

It's pretty much a guarantee this pick is a Euro, no?

I don't know. Seems there are still quality players available. They can just d-league him.

They are going to spend the money anyway. Just as well use it to take on salary from someone else and get something in return, or sign a FA.

Could be an opportunity to bring Tomic.

Would love GRIII here..
