Jazz trade up from 30 to 28 and select Tony Bradley

Didn't know who he was at first, but now I'm comfortable he could be a SOLID backup Center for Rudy for years to come.
 
If you're still unsure watch this video, it'll make you feel better.

I like the pick, but it's a pick that is nearly impossible to get excited about.

I think he will be a really solid backup for years. The unknown x-factor is if the shot he showed at the workout is legit and if it can ever get to the 3pt line.
 
Didn't realize he was less than 19.5 years old. That makes me feel a little better.
 
Man i would have loved the jazz make a trade to pick 22 to grab Jarrett Allen. Both are raw and have similar measurables(both are huge) but Allen is a much much better athlete.

Somehow I doubt the Nets would do that. Getting a guy who dropped like that is a big win for them. Great fit with Russell.

The most exciting thing is he actually boxes out - something so simple yet Jazz players fail to do it much of the time.

Not sure I care if a C can shoot the 3 ball. I'd rather him use the strength and size to get offensive boards. He's not gonna get much if any time in his whole career as a PF.

I think with a guy like Bradley you really want it. He isn't going to be a big lob threat so you want him spacing the floor on the high post if you arent posting him up. Adding a 3 would make him great in trail situations.

Just speculating because the Jazz were impressed with his shot.
 
Kenny the Jet Smith said on NBA TV "Tony would have been a top 10 pick next year had he stayed another year".



So we essentially traded #30 and #42 for next year's #10.



I mean that's pretty exciting.
 
I really like it.

He's got a 7'5 wingspan, great standing reach, he was an excellent rebounder as a 19 year old, moves well laterally for his size, and has some nice potential. At minimum, he's a good rebounder and rim protector. That will play. It's not set, but it's good.

That's a common sentiment among people on Bradley. Basically he would have been in line for a ton of minutes on UNC and could have had breakout year. He is kind of this year's Zizic.

Only if Kenny Smith is correct. Which is doubtful.

Maybe he goes #10. Maybe he doesn't get drafted. It's a dumb thought exercise by Kenny.

They'll play different positions.

I don't especially like this move.
a) there were several other players on the board that I liked more
b) I think he would have lasted to 30, and I think the 42 had potential of getting a good player.

But I'll trust DL for now.

These were pretty much my exact initial thoughts but I guess we likely wouldn't keep 3-4 rookies so it makes sense.

Assuming we retain Hill (or get Bev), Ingles and Hayward, we have:

Hill, Exum, Neto
Hood, Mitchell, Burks
Hayward, Ingles
Favors, JJ, Bolomboy
Gobert, Bradley

Plus we may use the MLE or something.
