Our FO pretty much picked Exum basing off of video footage and first hand accounts. We didn't have him in our gym for a workout.

They interviewed him at the combine. Did you also forget Rich Sheubrooks, the Jazz' international scout was the one who invited Exum to play on the international team for the Nike Hoop Summit? I think the Jazz hit a home run with that hire. It's already brought us Gobert, Exum and a prospect in Neto. Didn't have Exum in because he was only working out for the top four teams.

Source?

You don't think any of our international scouts saw him play in person the last few years?

Do you know if DL or KOC was there personally? Or was it just Walt Perrin?

Yeah but that's like asking your brother to choose a bride for you.

99% sure KOC had been more than once.. but I don't recall well enough to swear by it. I just know the Jazz were said to have been scouting him more often than any other team.

Not really, Shuebrooks is likely a better talent evaluator than Lindsey. It's what he does for a living. A GM is involved with the business side as well.

My mom probably knows best who's right for me in terms of choosing my bride ... doesn't mean I'll ask her to choose 1 for me though.

You're carrying this comparison way too far with the bride thing. It's more like a CEO asking an engineer about the specifics of a project. CEO runs circles around the engineer in terms of dealing with the company as a whole, arranging financing, M&A's, etc. but when it comes time to build the actual product, you better have the advice of some damn good engineers before you construct that 50-story building.

OK, how about this then. You're on the Bachelor. You're down to choosing between 2 girls.


Girl A shows you EVERYTHING she's got the night before. She loves you, she wants you, she's hot, etc, etc, etc,.


Girl B is very quiet and reserve. Her father is very traditional so no monkey business. She also loves you but doesn't show you "the goods" and simply whispers to you "Trust me - they're awesome".


Which girl do you take????????!!!!!????????? You've gotta at least see them first right?????? AMIRITE????????

Stop being so Utah Mormon conservative. Take them both, just don't marry either of them. They're just trying to get famous on TV.

IIRC the Jazz's international scouts are pretty highly regarded. I'd have been stunned if they didn't watch a player of his potential caliber many times.

Actually, it's not down to just 2 girls. I can choose between 4 or 5.

Girl B didn't show me the goods because she never thought I'd make it to the show. She was auditioning for different episodes in other cities and was thrown into the Utah version at the last minute. A complete surprise.

However, PG_AB has seen her goods many times. He can attest to the fact she is "fast and furious."

As for the other girls, one is a novice who is incredibly timid and may never learn how to please me - or maybe she becomes the best thing ever. I just don't know.
Another has a reputation for being a tough chick, but her temper is a red flag. Others are very similar to "girls" I already have in my harem.

We could go on with these sexual analogies, but they're silly. Especially the use of the word "girl."

Point is, the Jazz organization was probably MORE familiar with Exum than any other team in the league - save the ones Exum visited individually in his pre-draft workouts. They saw him measure out in several areas at the combine, They were able to sit down and talk BB with him in an interview. It was not a "blind faith' pick.

You've left out the 'hungry' one....


Even with PG_AB having seen her goods many times, it's still difficult for me, personally, to trust him wholeheartedly though. He may have different taste to me. May be his "fast and furious" just isn't quite fast enough for me, for example. ;)
