Jazz fans, do you feel like your current core is good enough to compete for a title with more seasoning?

They need a point guard. Markannen was 1 player away from all-NBA

Yes, I'm not denying Markkanen was very good. But what does the 15th-20th best player in the NBA get you when everyone

5/23/23 3:03pm

You're taking a huge gamble that the 3rd pick is all-NBA caliber.

It is true that his mindset fits Utah. I can't argue with that. Just like Jokic in Denver (we have the same issue). I

The question is....is a player like Lauri better than an unproven #3 pick

WJCougar

5/23/23 3:01pm

One you would be getting two guys. Sharpe has crazy potential. But what do you think Lauri gets you long term? If it

kimdaddy35

5/23/23 3:09pm

You seem really down on Lauri....like he has hit his ceiling already.

WJCougar

5/23/23 3:11pm

Honestly I don't think he has a season better than the one he had last year. That being said I think he

kimdaddy35

5/23/23 3:23pm

So yes...you think he hit his ceiling

WJCougar

5/23/23 3:31pm

Yes pretty much yes. I think he may shoot a little higher some year, but I don't see him adding major elements of his

of course not

Getting an All-Star at #3 is statistically a 50/50 gamble. Why trade an All Star

In two years the Jazz have a ton of Money to spend. If they keep Lauri and

So you think the free agency route is the way to go. Fair enough.

No. Very much no.

They don’t need to

Not even close. Unless Ogbaji turns into Jimmy Butler.

Basically it sounds like you think the #3 pick gets you a top 10 nba player in

TO11

5/23/23 3:38pm

Enes Kanter was #3

WJCougar

5/23/23 3:45pm

This year's draft is stacked. It is a great draft. Like I said the #3 pick is the equivalent of #1 in many years. Do

kimdaddy35

5/23/23 3:55pm

I am happy with Danny, I think he diagnosed the situation in Utah pretty well.

TO11

5/23/23 4:01pm

True, but you have to hit the top picks. Had he drafted Fultz instead of Tatum the Celtics would be a very different

kimdaddy35

5/23/23 4:07pm

It’s as much as trusting Will as it is trusting Danny.

Not really

Ghost Pirate LeChuck

I think the Jazz are planning on using their picks to trade for a star.

What leads you to believe that Sharpe is "an extremely talented player"? Certainly not his stats this past year.

ManicBlue

5/23/23 4:12pm

Did you watch Sharpe? He was only 19 this past year and put up 10 ppg while shooting 36% from 3. He posted the highest

kimdaddy35

5/23/23 4:24pm

Maybe but his stats put him as one of the worst in his draft class too.

ManicBlue

5/23/23 4:30pm

His true shooting percentage was #2 out of the top 10 rookies drafted last year and he was considered the most raw

kimdaddy35

5/23/23 4:39pm

Where was it for all rookies drafted last year not just the top 10? 🙂

ManicBlue

5/23/23 4:45pm

No idea, I manually looked at the top 10. It was a bit higher than Agbaji I know and certainly his value is

kimdaddy35

5/23/23 4:47pm

Maybe ... that's how I feel about Kuminga and he'd be a better fit position-wise. Just my opinion though.
