Not even close. Unless Ogbaji turns into Jimmy Butler.
I don't even consider Sexton as part of the core.

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

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

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

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

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

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

I think this year was his coming out party and will get better.

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

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

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

Enes Kanter was #3
WJCougar

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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