2024 annual Jazzfanz All time jazz draft

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

@Thee Idiotic Minivan K why did you laugh at this bro? That’s a totally legit team. You can never screw up a LeBron led team.

Yes you can.

 

[Fosto]

He drafted Hayward when there are still a ton of players way better than him then put him in his starting lineup. It amuses me.

You thought unskilled stiff Mark Eaton was a good pick. Maybe you're just not very bright, hmmmm?

I created a great team with no glaring weaknesses. They can playmake, shoot, defend, and have lethal weapons on both ends in the starting lineup, and on the bench.

Best team in the competition tbh

 

[NUMBERICA]

Hayward is a damn good fit with any starting lineup.

It’s true. It’s just a little thin. Like, you could say the same about Joe Ingles but are we really stretching the argument that far?

I appreciate the stones. But he probably could’ve waited another round or two.

You’ve been the clear frontrunner since starting with Lebron/Robinson/Nash.

Hayward was about as good as Paul George before his injury. People just quickly forget.

I didn't START with them. I drafted them when my turn came. Not my fault people passed on them.

I'm personally quite happy with my team.

No need to be defensive, you’ve done very well. Accept the compliment.

Prime Hayward and Ingles aren't even remotely in the same ball park though. Ath this point most people have their stars so they are looking for the best complimentary guys and Hayward fits that criteria to a T. He wasn't amazing at anything but was good at everything.

Sure.

 

[gandalfe]

Thinking about my choices...

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

He’s not a bad player. But there are much better options and for the record I love his team, but it’s odd to me he’d draft him with intent to start him. Far better options were/are available and I’d also say that Paul George is always way over drafted in these. I would never start him in this. He’s way overrated imo

Give me the list of long, insanely athletic 6’ 8”+ dudes that, when healthy
-are perennial all-defensive players (and can switch across 4 positions)
-sharpshooters on high volume
-can play as the 1st option/primary ball-handler (and aren’t an absolute black hole)
-can play just as well or better off the ball

I can think of between one and three other players that might meet that criteria and they were all off the board by pick 20.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Time to add some elite shooting to space the floor.

Glen Rice

Damn. That was my main target.

 

[Elizah Huge]

Damn. That was my main target.

I was trying to move up behind the scenes for him.

 

[Bawse Dawg]

I hate my team feel free to make fun of it all you want.

The more I play the more I'm way out of my depth. I am not near the historian of the sport that you guys are. I also just don't put the necessary amount of thought into it. Should probably sit it out going forward.

 

[The Fresh Prince]

@Fosto a thing people forget is there's only 1 basketball in a game. Hayward is a good player to fulfill the role of doing the right play when his numbers called upon.

I respect the pick, it's your team/choice and you know the vision you see in your team.

I’d be happy to make a list but why do they have to have specific dimensions? Also he was never an elite defender above average yes, and he was never on any all defensive teams. He was a #1 option because we didn’t have better options on offense. Lots of guys can handle the ball doesn’t make them all world.

Pardon me, but pffffffffffff. He made four all-defensive teams. It’s not easy to make them, especially as a a prominent offensive player.

I listed those qualifications for a reason, and they aren’t arbitrary. If you have trouble making a list then that underscores the point.

He is of an extremely rare and very useful (critical?) archetype for team-building at the highest levels, such as a competition like this. If anything, he doesn’t get enough credit because of weird rivalry crap and that he has trouble staying healthy.

I think Thee is still talking about Hayward and didnt notice that previous post was about George.

I would hope he would know I wasn’t talking about Hayward since Hayward isn’t one of the four people that belong in the class (Lebron, Durant, Kawhi, Paul George) but you’re probably right and I definitely should’ve specified.
