Zach Lowe Haad Some Nice Things to Say About...

Was giannis available at 14?
I don't remember

Yes. Dennis too.

I thought he went at 15. Both him and Schroeder were the top two guys that I liked at that spot because of their youth and athleticism.

If the Jazz stay at 14 though, I'm pretty sure they would have taken Shabazz Muhammad. Just a gut feeling.

My gut just got sick.

What could we have picked with 14 that would have been better than Trey Burke? Not much. DL turns $1.00 into $1.25 every time he breaths.

See below

Antetokuonmpo and Gobert > Burke and Gobert

This.

And we could've saved money on the 27th pick, and drafted Neto with our 46th pick instad of buyingg the 47th from Atlanta.

Gobert at some point was predicted to be the #1 pick by dx very early in the 2013 process and midway thru.

So was BJ Mullens for the 2009 draft.

Antetokuonmpo, Gobert, and Kendall Marshall > Burke and Gobert

fixed.

For the record the greek freak surprised me with just how much talent he has. I wasn't pimping him but I'm not going to pretend that we didn't miss one just because I didn't see it coming.

Totally regretting not getting him now and I have to imagine DL is as well.

FWIW, I was pimping the hell out of the Greek Freak months before the draft.

A lot of people were.

I loved Giannis but sadly my 14 and 21 were Shabazz and Karasev. I said if they didn't fall I would pick Schroeder and Giannis and maybe Gobert but I was overjoyed that we moved up for Burke. I thought Burke would go little bit higher and it wasn't possible to get him.

My 14 was Giannis or Schroeder, but I was elated the Jazz moved up. I also was adamant that the Jazz needed to sign Kendall Marshall because why they hell not. For whatever all that is worth.

I had Schroeder and Gobert. Picked Rudy, along with one other poster (and now I can't remember who it was), as the steal of the draft. I will admit I knew very little about the Greek Freak and would have been disappointed with him at #14. At the time, I thought maybe the Jazz would target Sam Adams at #14 and then try to move up for Schroeder or Larkin.

It's hindsight. Win some, lose some. I'm not going to get on DL for drafting Trey. Jazz desperately needed a PG; Burke looked like he could be the answer. Given a choice between Trey and Giannis, most GM's and draft experts would have taken Trey. He was ranked as a top-10 talent. Kudos to the Millers for giving DL the extra money to go out and get Gobert. They could have just stayed put and drafted Neto at #46.
