Official 2023 draft night thread!

[HeatCheck]

Anyone else feel like taking Sensabaugh and George makes it less likely JC is back next season?

Same. I don't think JC is coming back. Likely won't be enough minutes especially with Ochai on the roster too.

All these other teams gobbling up the 2 way wings.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

We don't have anybody that will pass the ball on this squad.

The belief in Hardy and THT

 

[Bawse Dawg]

Who has no passing chops or desire, cannot play defense at all, and all in a ****ing slow *** package with bad knees.

Gold spray-painted trash can.

Believe in Hardy.


Can we grab another pick? So much talent still out there.

Not gonna roster 4 rookies. Maybe pick up a late second for a two way

 

[SoberasHotRod]

The Jazz player personnel guy made a comment that seems relevant now. When asked about the amount of good defenders he brushed it off and talked about how offense was still important.

I'm feeling like we are not building this team the way I would hope.

The Ignite getting disrespected

**** this leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I like the first two picks quite a bit. But seriously, we just gave the finger to passing the ball and defending the perimeter.

You're taking all this well.

I wouldn't be surprised too if they trade for one of those Orlando PG's now that they have Anthony Black.

Well… in all honesty, does defense still
Win chips? Or is it all about shooting? Warriors and nuggets won without playing good defense. They just have guys who can shoot the **** out of the ball

Taylor should be a really good defender. George is rough… Sensabaugh is ahhhh not great… but at 28 you just get talent even if it doesn’t fit what you’d love.

I'm gonna try to stop, but I will just say he was uniquely my most hated prospect because he doesn't look capable at those things. I don't think he can do that **** at an NBA level. Point blank.

Sorry, I'm done. I'm done.

This was a multiverse moment. Somewhere out there it was Walker Bufkin and Sidy.


Now we wait and see.

The Jazz will never struggle for a bucket

I definitely have this concern and would’ve liked to have seen a more thoughtful pick. A higher potential athlete, someone who could defend, etc. having said that, this team when healthy might be able to shoot the **** out of the ball. Could be really fun to watch.

Still have FA and trades… passing and defense are immediate needs so draft may not reflect what we need now.

I think Brice is a guy who will come in and immediately make an impact. He's a big guy who shoots. I think a guy like juzang just lost his roster spot.

Awesome, we found our Juzang replacement. High priority stuff.

If the Jazz's SL team doesn't dominate I will be pissed
