I had an epiphany this morning. I was imagining that the Jazz drafted Ace Bailey and I was watching him dribble in to mid range jumpers, miss the open guy and defensive assignments, and I don't think I can watch that for a whole season.

I think that VJ makes the Jazz the most watchable next year, and I've decided that I should be placing more value on this than I have. After all, entertainment is what this whole thing is about. It's extremely difficult to guess what VJ, Ace, or Tre will be 3-5 years from now, but it's not as difficult to guess what they will be like in their first year. VJ is not going to ball stop, he's going to improve our perimeter defense, he's going to make plays, and he's going to defy gravity at times.

VJ is my pick.

Kinda like drafting Vince Carter over Dirk Nowitzki.

SHOCKER: I want VJ most after working through this question a little more and where we’re at as a franchise.

We need to build a culture around defense and hustle. We need a cornerstone to start that build with. We need to start all the way over and VJ is the piece to start with.

If we prioritize those attributes, we will be organically bad for a few years, but we won’t have to retrofit culture into the mix.

We can’t build around VJ if he’s not a star I don’t see him as that but 3&D. Can’t just give him the ball in crunch time and say get me a bucket. Most of his points are set up by his team. Do we look like a team that will cultivate that for him?

I don't think we can really plan on building around any of them. By not getting Flagg or Harper we are already punting to next year to get our franchise guy.

Kinda doesn’t matter. We still need to suck. But we need tough-minded prospects to endure through the pain and play the right way. Our time to make a big splash is next offseason. VJ would be a pillar, but probably not The Guy.
