How Afflalo was so wide open

With that much time left all you do is defend the 3 as tight as you can. If they score a mid range bucket it's still a one possession game. CJ should have stayed with his man and let Jefferson man the paint. Lawson would have pulled up for jumper or went straight to the rim for a contested layup. The blame goes to CJ or Corbin for not explaining the situation at hand.

I'm surprised nobody has brought up the "we could've drafted him" complaint. I know he was the SG/SF guy I wanted over Almond but I'm not a big draft guy so I only had a small list of players in the Jazz range. Wonder how Detroit feels for trading him for basically nothing.

But then if they did the Jazz would've never signed Mathews last year.

*edit for those that don't believe me or remember the trade here's a darn link*

I clearly remember the Jazz almost drafting Affalo. It was either Almond or Afflalo and and they really liked Afflalo's D but needed a scorer and took Almond. I just wish KOC would draft in the 1st round the way he does in the 2nd round and picking up undrafted guys
 
Like so many rookies, Afflalo struggled with the team drafting him. With hard work and a new environment, he is finally having a good year. Absolutely he'd be a fine Jazz-man; plays good D and is a better shooter than Wes Matthews
 
It was AK's fault for not hedging properly to let Raja recover which made CJ rotate over so we wouldnt give up a layup leaving Affalo open.
 
Also Afflalo would be perfect for this team. I think he is a similar but better version than WesMath.
