Your takeaway from the NBA draft

[NUMBERICA]

And for record, yes, I really think they should've targeted a player that can play PF and facilitate spacing.

 

[Isaiah 1:13]

Jazz approached the whole thing 100% from the angle of BPA/as though they didn't already have a team.

Interpret that how you want.

Yeah, that's the way it feels to me as well. Just hope we can juggle things to find a use for all this talent.

Not really. I think they draftef a piece that (hopefully) made either Exum or Hood expendable as trade bait (we can't afford both.) They also Drafted a big defensive guy that helps limit Gobert from having to play big minutes when Favors is moved. I saw nothing from this draft that indicated that there was any hedging whatsoever that Hayward was going to leave and open up cap space.

They all got drafted before the Jazz's 2nd pick

Is the Exum experiment coming to an end? At least Hood has a pull up jumper.

This is a make/break year for both. Hood isn't going to draw a max contract, but he will draw interest (depending on how he plays next season). More important than replacing either of them, Mitchell looks like he could complement the team better than either of them.

There isn't a point guard in the league who is going to want to play against Mitchell. But for some stretches of games, Snyder is going to force them to do exactly that.
