Re: Jazz quietly had a great draft
[QUOTE=beastee]Jazz really impressed tonight. No fanfare, but they got a sure fire Starting guard in Exum (possible all-star), a great SG/SF in Hood at an absolute steal at 23 (great insurance if Heyward leaves) and a late first round talent in Jarnell Stokes at 35.
Very bright future with the development of Burke and their Bigs. This team is 2-3 years away from being a legit threat. They get my vote for Draft winner.[/QUOTE]
Threat for what?
[QUOTE]Hood was picked at great value as well, he could potentially start.[/QUOTE]
Especially if they let G walk.
[QUOTE]Snyder will have a ton of lineups he could play between the 1-3. Burke/Exum at the 1[/QUOTE]
Not to mention Burks and G who was their primary playmaker.
[QUOTE], Burke/Burks/Exum/Hayward at the 2 and Hayward/Hood at the 3.[/QUOTE]
Burks and Exum should be able to play the 3 in small line-ups as well.
[QUOTE] That's not including then keeping a Rush or Williams type for some more depth.[/QUOTE]
Doesn't sound like Rush will be back and hopefully not the injury prone and inconsistent Marvin Gaye.
[QUOTE]Hopefully it's the end of Jefferson too.[/QUOTE]
He's gone. A contender would like him after the year he had I imagine.
[QUOTE] If Snyder can get Favors and Kanter firing up front, they could be a very good team in a few years.[/QUOTE]
Still talk of Tomic possibly and Evans and Gobert are still in the mix as well.
[QUOTE]I also really think they shouldn't have offered Hayward, let the dude walk.[/QUOTE]
Why would you let that kind of talent walk? I don't want them to overpay him but for the right contract they need to keep him for sure.
[QUOTE]What's your opinion on Trey Burke?[/QUOTE]
He has potential. He shouldn't have been starting last year. Needs to get a lot better defensively. Needs to be able to get to the hole and the line.
[QUOTE]They've still got Raul Neto over in Spain for another year, so if they need more PG help going forward they can bring him over too.[/QUOTE]
They haven't decided Neto's fate yet. They need a vet regardless. Sorry John Lucas.
[QUOTE]I hope the Exum pick doesn't hurt Burks development.
Well it ain't gonna help that's for sure[/QUOTE]
We'll see. Burks was arguably their best player. Certainly one of the two best scorers they had along with Kanter.
