Official Thread: # Jazz Draft Day 2018 #

[LoPo]

Like I said in the other thread, we cancelled the draft party because we knew we were taking Allen this whole time.

Is it bad to think Allen reminds me of jimmer fredette? Good shooter but slow laterally. Will he be able to get his own shot off?

No, I don't know what he is. He isn't Jimmer though. Maybe he's something akin to Luke Kennard with an attitude.

It's a gut punch because I really believe Okobo could be special. But I trust DL here and I don't know why some people wouldn't. Look at his track record. I also like Allen a decent amount. He was #24 on my board.

I just have to keep telling myself:

In DL we trust
In DL we trust
In DL we trust
In DL we trust


I need a drink.

Better make it a double.

Lets see if we can get another pick in this draft and get someone with more upside.

Sad clowns... dogs with three legs... Sarah McLaughlin music

I don't agree, but your post made me laugh hard.

Next project: See if Allen comps anything like Luke Kennard.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Y’all gonna eat your words.

I’d be okay with him.... BUT TRADE BACK AND GET HIM

This is where DL has struggled... on the fringes and not squeezing every asset. Trading up for TB, selling second rounders, not moving back for guys we could get later.

There will be 5-10 guys in our range that are better than he is.

The Bleacher gave the Jazz the lowest rating so far in the draft at B-

 

[Sugarless]

Freaking great. He was my first option once Donte inevitably was off the board.

Would anyone even know who Okobo is if he didn't have that one 40 point game? (averaged 12 ppg on the year)

****... just realized I already booked flights, hotels and tickets for summer league... I need a lawyer to help me recoup some of my losses.

We ain't trading him...

Sixers had a Welcome Home! tweet for Bridges that got a billion likes lol. They deleted it after the trade though.

I knew we were going to get Grayson Allen from the jump. I'm sure if I were to pull his birth certificate his middle name would read "Born to be a Jazz Player" because his name, face, style of play all represent the lifelong bloodline that is of the Utah Jazz. This kid plays like Jerry Sloan did back in the day.

Allen better not do any immature ********

So do you like the pick or no?

 

[LoPo]

I don't like where we picked him, but I think he could be good. He has the makings of a great 6th man. At #21, I will take it.
