I loved Giannis. Loved that DL was one of the first guys reported to have checked him out in Greece. Thought there was a great chance he’d be there at 14 and he was exactly the kind of “swing-for-the-fences” pick that the Jazz desperately needed.And obviously Burke over Giannis is the worst pick of all time for teh Jazz.
Was SO disappointed that we traded up for Burke (who was one of my least favorite prospects that year along with Olynyk) and then felt a little better when I found out we traded back up for Gobert. Really liked the Euro guys that year. Giannis, Rudy, Steven Adams and Dennis Schroder were probably my top 4 favorite players (+ Otto Porter as my top 5 favorites.)
