Jazz Pre-Draft Workouts

[mellow]

But this could be the smokescreen they're trying to create this time around. Maybe the Jazz want someone to take Kanter at #1 or #2 so we get Williams at #3. Maybe the Jazz want someone to make them an offer for #3. Anything could be in play at this point.

and the draft is not the end. There is still the possibility of trades and FA's. I booed the Hayward pick last year because I thought that was the end of thier roster moves. This year I'll be more patient.

Who didn't boo the Hayward pick

Who didn't boo the Hayward pick

Honzward.
I didn't exactly boo, but I admit I had serious doubts.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

It took me about 1 hour to like the Hayward pick. I can pretty much make myself like anyone.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Even if we pick Vesely I will slowly talk myself into getting excited for his dunking ability, length, size, and potential he brings to the team.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I didn't actually boo the Hayward pick. It was more like a gasp, suspended disbelief, and a series of WTFs...

 

[BENTLEY]

It felt like someone took a dump in my stomach.

Same here. I mean I can rant as furiously as I want when the pick is made but at the end of the day he will be a Jazz man and I will find a way to get excited about the pick.

I think that's how most people are.

 

[BENTLEY]

I couldn't make myself like Boozer.

Who didn't boo the Hayward pick

At that moment I was disappointed not because I thought Hayward wasn't good, but just that I thought Davis and Patterson were better.

I hear you. The only name that would be tough to get even remotely psyched about would be T. Thompson. 6'9" guy that does nothing outside of 10 ft. Anybody else in the top 13-15, I could easily talk myself into. Also some would obviously be much easier than others.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Yeah, I probably couldn't talk myself into Thompson unless we had some crazy plan to trade Millsap or one of our other frontcourt players for a really good wing player.

And then somebody punched it.

I cannot talk myself into liking a player if I feel strongly enough. Play can make me change my mind though (Hayward, for example).

Vesely or Kemba would have to play their way into me changing my mind. I do not see it in them.

This.

And the underperformance of the guys drafted after the pick I guess (see Cole Aldrich)

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Not many people wanted Cole Aldrich here that I can remember. I don't even remember who everyone wanted. I think I was in the Paul George corner, but even I don't remember who I was going for.

I was going for Ed Davis.
