Bradley is not close to a Rudy clone. The statement I get from last night is that the Jazz are committed to having rim protector. Whether they keep both of them only time will tell.

God damn Lopo off that gas. Anyone calling Tony a Rudy clone needs to have their head checked.

Yeah I mean if you can get out in front of it and draft the worst big prospect first then ya gotta do it. Especially because you can’t take two perimeter players in a draft by league rule and you also can’t play multiple wing players in the modern nba. No one does that anymore.

I am not sure why DL and Zanik get the benefit of the doubt anymore and people are really stretching to find angles about why this was smart.

Uhhh, I'm not saying it was smart from my perspective. I would have drafted differently, but if that's the guy they wanted, they got in a good position. I think they executed their plan well, from what I can tell.

Also I have no idea if Udoka is a worse prospect than the other bigs that went after him. It's all pretty flat to me and their success will depend on situation. Udoka got in a ****ing great situation for him to flourish, though it will be with a lower minutes ceiling.
 
I'm always a grass is greener guy when it comes to these things.....

The Jazz's 2nd unit started playing really well, and that was with ****ing Tony Bradley and Georges Niang getting minutes.

Now they got Udoka and they will have more wing/4 depth. Whatever any of us thing about Udoka, I think we can all agree he will be a better NBA player than Tony ****ing Bradley.
 
Looking over Udoka's measurements, I think he tanked his standing reach to get that vertical. A near 7 footer with a ginormous 7'7" wingspan is going to be higher than 9'1" on standing reach. He is still very athletic of course, way more than Bradley.

Great execution getting a guy who is not a 16 game player 20 spots ahead of where he should be drafted and getting a wing. It’s easy to execute a plan that is well easy... I plan on executing a plan to get some donuts this morning... I hope others appreciate how well I execute a plan that is probably dumb and bad for me.

Same **** you said when we drafted what you declared to be the poor mans Aldridge. DL and Zanik do not deserve the benefit of the doubt.

OK.

Like I said, I'm a glass half full guy, so I see the positives and upside. If you want to be miserable over it, go for it. I can acknowledge I dislike the pick overall and would have gone a different route and still find things to like about what they did.
 
So the "next Mark Cuban" bought The Jazz and a couple weeks later Utah is selling picks for cash? Lol.

Maybe Lindsay didn't get the memo?
