Swanigan staying in the draft. Diallo and Svi are going back to school.

Diallo is a bummer. I was hoping he would push people down

Relieved Diallo is going back to school.
Burton is a pretty interesting prospect. At 6'4 he might be able to legitimately play PF. If he could lose 30 pounds I'd be interested to see him.

Svi?
[MENTION=2927]stitches[/MENTION] wasted our 30th pick smh
Same. One less guy on my short list for the Jazz too. And SG/SF is even weaker than it already was now.
I'm blown away Brooklyn wouldn't promise him. Seems like the perfect player for them to take a chance on.
Someone good is going to slip to us at 24. We did the right thing not promising.

I wonder if a team ever promised multiple players for the same pick.
It just seems like the jazz have been linked to too many players this year. Maybe it's all agent noise trying to drum up hype for his client.
When do the euros decide if they are staying in the draft?

I love this time of the year. So many different variables.

I don't think teams would do that. They would lose all respect and credibility if they didn't choose who they promised.

Brooklyn would like to trade one of their picks for a player who is ready to play now. It's just chatter at this point, but they may not commit to keeping their picks.
That's good. Glad to see they are trying to field a respectable team next year. Really hope they dont give Boston another #1 pick.

My memory may not be exact, but I'm pretty sure Utah gave CJ miles a 1st round promise, and then when that pick was traded, they ended up drafting him in the 2nd round.
Anyway, these so called promises are probably never guarantees anyway. I'm sure teams make it clear that it's possible something could come up, but they are 97% they take so and so with a certain pick.
It would be dumb to completely handcuff your team when you never know what opportunity might pop up, such as a trade offer or a certain player falling that nobody thought would.
Edit: What happened is that Utah was able to use the pick they promised to CJ in the trade for Deron Williams, so Utah would have been looney to keep that promise.
They traded their second first-round pick to Portland as part of the DWill trade then drafted CJ in the 2nd round.
