Lyles is the pick at 12

[CALJAZZFAN]

Lyles should probably not be considered a steal right now.
He was drafted right where he was projected.
He is projected to be a role player.
If he shocks everyone and puts up rookie of the year numbers then maybe we could start thinking steal.
And I would welcome that.

We would all welcome that, but some steals aren't known for 2-3 years. Nobody, other than Jazz fans perhaps, viewed Rudy as the steal of the draft his first season. Setting that aside, who really knows at this point. We just all hope he'll be viewed as a steal at some point. That would be a positive thing.

Lyles seems like a guy the Spurs would have taken if they were in our position.

Remember how everyone felt the Spurs got a steal in Kyle Anderson?

I agree with you though.

Spurs really like Kyle Anderson. They think he is going to be pretty good.

Who the hell is Kyle Anderson?

My CPA. Real good dude, tbh.

Love this pick. I have visions of another jazz player with the ability to feed Gobert, Favors and Alec for sweet dunks. We have plenty of athletes and guys who can jump out of the gym. We don't need every draft pick to have this skill set. Another great passer is just right!

Obviously he's not a steal yet. It took Rudy 1.5 seasons to show he was and Hood looks like he is but could still be up in the air. If in 2 years we are talking about all 3 being the steal of the draft then we are contenders.

Yeah, cuz the book has been completely written. Give it a couple of seasons before shutting it.

The league really is trendy. Now all of a sudden the Pacers want Paul George to play PF. The Wizards might give Otto Porter time at PF. Lamarcus Aldridge is considered a center if he goes to the Lakers. Everyone wants to small ball.

And the Jazz will start the game with their smallest player at 6'6" and start dominating others teams.

Jazz is countering small ball... All the way.

All coming to us in that big deal that you heard about on draft night, right?

What deal? What the hell are u talking about?

PKM posted a ****-teaser of a statement about receiving news (right as our pick was announced) that if true, would make Lindsey "Godly" but it would take a few days before it could happen. I'd normally say he's full of ****, but I know he has connections, so who knows? It's likely he's just playing us, but we can hope to catch lightning in a bottle, right?

Why do you say that? I made an aside to Dr. Jones as kind of a "wink-wink" joke and you asked what I was referring to. I answered. Do I think a deal is happening? Not really.

HOLY ****...........................................................................................................
I just got a text from someone in the know. (totally)

this might take two days, but if it pans out, DL is Godly.

That was his post, BTW. It's been more than two days, so there's a good chance he was just playing us. But it's all good. And like I said, I posted a joking reference to his supposed text.

Not only that, but our bigs can cover smaller players as well. So small teams won't have an advantage.

 

[carolinajazz]

Two-time Olympian, multiple all-star Carlos Boozer? Yeah, how awful.

....yeah, also couldn't play a lick of defense....and got the ball bounced off his head in an all-star game!

Saw on Twitter some commentator saying teams are waiting for the Kings situation to play out before making trades... hence the lack of trades on draft night.


So may be that's where the delay is. The other reason could be the deal was too good to be true and the other team simply reconsidered.
