I get the what if but the Jazz needed a reset. Quinn refused to make adjustments in the playoffs, Diva Don was a cancer, and the front office surrounded Gobert with 4 starters who were all undersized for their positions. Almost everyone blamed Gobert for the crap defense in the playoffs but the truth was the rest of the team was very weak at defense and put him in an impossible situation.
Minus signing/trading for a superstar I hope the Jazz go full tank for this coming season and possibly 2026. This is how the Jazz will get their Luka, Ant, Tatum.
We could have had Conley, Clarkson, Bojan, Markannen, Rudy
So, I know you're a numbers guy and you like numbers. But what you are doing with your draft ratings is taking players and giving them a subjective, qualitative rating. But because that rating is a number, you are treating it as a quantitative rating and doing all kinds of math with it. This lets you say things like "overperformed in the draft by 45%," but it doesn't make it true. The math is wholly dependent on your qualitative ratings of player performance. It's only marginally more reliable than simply looking at a list of their drafted players and making a qualitative judgement on that. "Garbage in, garbage out" as they say.
I hope Ryan moves the team to Seattle where u queers belong
Imagine if we drafted CJ McCullom instead of Trey Burk. Hopefully we get in a he top 4 this year to make it easy to succeed. There are about 20 players I could be happy with but 29 and 32 are hard to find a valuable player.
Lindsey made so many mistakes in Utah. Not as worse as KOC. He was fired for a reason.
