Worst Move? Drafting Hayward over George or Burks over Leonard?

[gomretat]

I know its not like Jimmer crushed him in the ncaa tournament or anything

They didn't play each other in the NCAA tournament

So are you asking would I rather have on the jazz:

Hayward Burks
Hayward Leonard
George Burks
or
George Leonard?

I think I would most like to see Burks Leonard, but since that is not possible I will go with
Hayward Leonard. Hayward is a sg, leonard a sf. Both can move up in a small lineup.

I'll wait until after next year to pass judgement. I think Hayward will have a very good career. Prolly a notch below George, but nothing to be disappointed about. I still think burkes ends up better than kawhi.

I wanted George over Hayward.

I wanted Burks over anyone available at 12.

I think I would have made the right decisions.

during the regular season, they played

Burks> Leonard and that's not really tough for me. I think Burks will have a better career..


Hayward> George , but that is tough. I'm just Happy with Hayward because he is really good too. Maybe not as good as George but he is a bad *** in his own right. I like watching a corny *** looking white dude chasing down people and blocking them from behind, Lebron style. I like that he is a lock down defender too. He is a very underrated defender in my opinion.

I wanted George at the draft but I am very happy with Hayward now.

I think Leonard leads the league in airballed threes.

You fools just wait until burks is unleashed and you will forget all about that ******* in san antonio

Agree. I think Burks has a lot of potential. He just needs PT, which Corbin didn't give him. Obviously, in hindsight, you take George, because you absolutely KNEW before the draft he would still grow a few inches.

When Ilook back at that draft, I'm grateful KOC drafted one of the two best players available at the time. There were so many immediately after those two that many of us and many of the national darft "experts" had rated higher, but have done little in the league.

Was drafting Hakeem over Jordan as large of a mistake as drafting Bowie over Jordan?

It's not always a catastrophe if you don't get the best player in the draft as long as you get a good player who brings you success. George and Leonard are very good but I have yet to see any evidence Ty Corbin would've given them the minutes and roles they currently have had they been drafted by the Jazz.

The Jazz have made alot of mistakes over the years. At this point, drafting Hayward and Burks is not one of them.

 

[Weezur]

The Jazz are so stupid, they can't even see into the future.

 

[Nate505]

Neither would have been a better choice. Both George and Leonard would be rotting away on the Jazz bench so guys like Foye and Marvin Williams can get theirs, as long as the current clueless HC is still around.

Actually I change my mind. I take George. He's a freak.
