Yep agreed. I've been looking through all the Press Conferences for the draftees, and I can safely say that the Jazz Press Conference for Burke, Gobert & Neto was by FAR the best.
Why?
Because it was the only one where the ownership, the GM, and the Coach were all there, and the importance of "Family" was emphasized.
- If you look at Detroit - only Joe Dumars was there, lecturing us on how he kept picking up KCP a secret. Great, but who cares?
- The Kings - Vivek lectured on about how the number #7 was his lucky numbers, and how Barnes was picked #7, Curry was picked #7, etc (Vivek used to work with GSW).
- The Wolves - the owner wasn't there, just the GM.
- The Cats - wow, talk about the saddest Press Conference in the history, ...
.. and so on, and so forth.
I wouldn't be surprised the Burke actually was "touched" by how involved the ownership is to this team and the family atmosphere. Trey is a good Christian and he often emphasized the fact that his parents have a loving & supportive relationship. Heck he brought a bus load of 60 friends and family to NY for the draft day celebration!!
He is a keeper folks. I think he recognized a great Organization when he sees one. Here's hoping he's a Jazz man for life!! For Realz!!!

And as sappy as it may have been, did anyone else interview the draftee's father, like Locke did? He would have even talked with Burke's mom had she wanted.
Yep, as a fellow Christian, I am 100% sure that his family was touched by what the Jazz did at both the Press Conference and what Locke did. You can't fake these things, they felt the "Love".
BTW Jazz's Press Conference was one of the the only ones that welcomed the players' family.. the others were just too "rushed".
Yeah, stinking atheists have no appreciation for such things...too busy spreading doubt and hate.
The thing I noticed about the Jazz press conference was it was a celebration of our amazing draft day victories. The FO was all smiles and boasts about how well the draft went and how excited we all are for the future.
For a guy like Burke who claims he's been passed over and underrated his whole life he sees an NBA organization and an entire city buzzing all because we got him. I think that's got to feel pretty good regardless of religious affiliation.
I'd love to see a pick of Burke with Hayward and Burks in front of him and slightly to the sides with Gobert directly behind Burks and Favors and Kanter behind Hayward and Burks. Laid out so Burke is in the center. Matching unis (preferably the green ones becaus elets face it they are awesome looking) of course.

I think the whole religious thing in here is irrelevant. Focus you damn ADD having hacks.

Not only that, he sees a team that traded UP to get him. In one of his interviews, he talked about expecting to go in the 2-7 range. Perhaps he thought the Pistons were his floor, since Knight has struggled with trying to be a true PG. I can just imagine his disappointment as he slides down the board, only to be blindsided by then getting picked by Minnesota. There had to be a "WTH?" (what the heck) moment as he thought about how he could possibly fit in with a team that already had a franchise PG in Rubio. Then he finds out about the trade in his interview while he's feigning excitement over playing in Minnesota. I was incredibly impressed by his poise, composure and graciousness in all his interviews. And now as he and his family sit and reflect, they realize that even though he was drafted lower than expected - and it costs some money initially - he's probably in the best situation he could have hoped for: a franchise that loves PG's, practically invented the P&R, and will be desperate for his scoring.

I don't know why, but getting Trey Burke almost feels like we grabbed LeBron James.
I'm still feeling a high off of this ****!

I feel the same way, I'm still incredibly stoked we got him and how happy he seems to be here
Well we all know he's not LeBron, but he's the piece this team needed the most.

So the Zeller and KCP picks were key in obtaining Burke. Most thought those two would be drafted AFTER Trey. Pushed him down the board a couple of spots
I knew Zeller going that high was huge. Once KCP went 8th, I started believing. So, yeah.
BTW, I don't really understand the KCP pick. Do the Pistons just hate point guards?

Smokescreens!
Jazz were reported to be in love with Zeller and CJ McCollum. Chad Ford repeatedly claimed the Jazz loved those guys.
Reality is that they wanted those guys off the board before Burke.
Wow is this for real? Has Burke now got the number #3???
