Greek Freak

[sonofthebigdog]

I was watching 60 Minutes last night to stay appraised of current events. The 2nd story was about the Greek Freek. It said he lasted until the 15th pick of the first round of the 2013 NBA Draft before being drafted by the Bucks. That is when we traded up to draft Trey Burke. Who was the GM that year DL or KOC?

You just learned of this?

DL was the GM. Shall I smack him for you?

Hindsight is always 20/20. A working crystal in today's economy.... that's another story.

I realize that is easy to go back and say we should have done this. Anthony Bennett was the No. 1 pick and is out of the league.

This is a bad troll

Dude, we got Rudy in the same draft.

Dude, we got Rudy in the same draft.

We could have had both, i was one of the few who was against moving up for Burke. Can we only imagine if the Jazz had pick the freak with the first pick and rudy with the second 1st rounder. Now i can't take credit for wanting to pick both of the guys even though they were on my list. However, I was upset they moved up for Burke and wasn't a big fan of his.

However, I agree in hindsight it is easy to say we should have pick this guy. All I remember while watching 60 minutes is thinking man can you imagine this Jazz team with him on the roster. We would be serious contenders.

In other who gives a crap news, Trey Burke had 42 points and 12 assists today. Whodathunk that was possible?

Cool, every team can say this every single year.

Jazz had zero PG's on the roster. They HAD to get a PG. Trey was the most NBA-ready PG. A very bad example of drafting dire need over BPA.

Personally, I was hoping the Jazz would trade back for Schroder and also take Gobert with their two picks. Schroder is no Giannis but drafting him sure would have saved a lot of first round picks.

Trey was the guy I wanted. Not the guy we needed, but the guy I wanted.
