2015 Annual JazzFanz Current Players Draft

This was my original plan as well. I was hoping it would go James and Durant #1 & #2, because I was trying to work out a trade for the #3 pick to get Anthony Davis. Then I'd have traded whatever I had to move up for Rudy. One Love got his guy at 3 and I had to reshuffle. Seems like I gravely underestimated how high Gobert would go, even though I was willing to take him top 10.

I was mildly surprised Gobert fell to 15. He's the perfect guy to build a team around as he lets you acquire some squishier defenders that are absolute studs on offense. You have to build the team around Gobert and not just add him as a piece, however. I gambled that I would be able to get him at 15 then pair him with a great big at 16 before someone could block me. Surprised Aldridge fell to me at that position.
 
I thought about picking Gobert but not having another pick till the 5th round figured I needed someone that could dominate on offense. Few do this like Cousins

You also got a guy who does the duggie and a guy nicknamed boogie.

John Wall is good, but I don't care for his personality. I certainly don't care for Demarcus's personality. I don't think Cousins will win anything in his lifetime. Terrible teammate.

So if we think Gobert is a top 15 player next year, there should be no way we don't make the playoffs unless Quin is a terrible coach, right?
 
I like Gobert and Aldridge a whole lot better than Wall and Cousins.

I seriously would never welcome Cousins on my team. Kings should have traded him already. He's a lost cause.
 
Welp, I've been working for myself for the past 5-6 years, clearly I've forgotten what it's like to work for someone else and the requirements that come with that, i.e., not allowed to use a cell phone during working hours.


Not to mention going to places where there are no cell phone coverage (where are those places BTW)?

You can bet your *** we are making the playoffs this year.

If we had Gobert AND Aldridge, yes, I suspect we would be a lock for the playoffs. . .
