Jazz select Udoka Azubuike with pick 27 & trade Tony Bradley + pick 38 to the Pistons

This rookie is definitely not a clear sign of our return to an elite defensive. The biggest problem was—and remains to be—out on the perimeter.
The 10 minutes a game TB was playing a night in the playoffs was not the problem... That has become the narrative and its ****ing hilarious when you look at the actual results. Also, backup bigs end up playing less...

And you can vouch for me on this... its never the guy... like Udoka might be Clint Capela without any FT shooting at all... its the process we got there. I've given DL the benefit of the doubt when he has ****ed up the process so many times... I called my shot at the time without hindsight. This was the final piece of evidence for me that he doesn't get it and he isn't flexible or nimble enough to ever get us to a point where we can compete at the highest levels. That is my frustration... even a small chance of hope and I will ride with you. Small markets have to squeeze blood from a turnip to get to the promised land... we consistently **** up around the edges.

The team we have this year will be our best team for the next 5-10 years. I will enjoy them and try to put the blinders on to not think about how much better it could have been if we didn't **** up basic stuff.
 
I give the Jazz a D grade ranking. They used their only pick on a player they majorly reached for and has major holes in his game at nba level. Should of drafted Bane, who would fit the family culture of Utah and then traded into early round 2 and take the Big guy. It pains me to watch the jazz draft while Nuggets keep stacking up talent. Nuggets are going be able to make major moves in a couple years and wow they are building something special there. Wish Jazz could do the same smh
 
Jazz got their version of Boban. The player that checks in and the opposing guy who is guarding says to himself "I have to guard this ****ing guy?".
You know what we could have done instead... taken a wing or a flier on a upside prospect and then called Dallas to see what assets they would give us to take Boban. We get a papercut and pay for an elective surgery to have it stitched up... could just go get a band aid and some neosporin.

The drafting philosophy of nuggets is how jazz should be drafting. DL sucks, even the star players was drafted by nuggets. I can't stand the nuggets and it's mostly out of jealousy since they have a front office who knows how to win and draft unlike Jazz FO who keep reaching for bigs like bradley and Udoka.

You are making so many good points. Keep it up.

Highly doubtful that Mavericks would get rid of him. Just watching the playoffs you could see he is the voice of the team. The way he confronted Porzingas after he got ejected in playoffs was beaut
 
and he just barely turned 21 in september. played his entire senior season at age 20. it is absolutely notable that the Jazz are getting a guy with four years of college experience but is the same age as guys who came out after their sophomore season.
He's inexperienced and young but also so seasoned and ready to contribute... got it!

His free throw shooting looks like when they bring a fan out of the crowd to wind a medium pizza by making a shot... honestly the fan might have a better chance of making it.

Also he cheated on his vertical measurements and there are reports he might be older than his listed age.
 
Fellas and couple ladies it sucks being a jazz fan at moment when your division rival has built a better squad and they not only kill the draft for their team but have basically made the jazz what they are with DM and Gobert
