Are we just going to ignore the monstrously bad season the Utah Jazz are having?

    None of these guys have proven anything. Hayward is gone after the season. Just because they were high picks doesn't mean they are good.

    Well, I didn't say they were going to contend with that lineup. It's a young lineup with potential, which is more than you can say for some of these other teams that have completely sucked for a few years now and still have bad fitting, or just plain bad, talent.

    Favors looks good as along term PF. He's avg 13,10, and 1.

    I doubt Wiggins is a bust. He's at least a starter at the 2/3 spot.

    Hayward may not stick around, but another year of suckage can get them a shooting guard and they can slide wiggins over to the 3.

    If those 3 spots are solid, they can have a good core going forward. If wiggins is a star, then it makes it easier to integrate Kanter and/or burke, if they don't develop as much.

    They will probably pass on Wiggins and draft the Mormon

    All we can hope is they get knocked to the 14th pick in the lottery. That would be poetic justice.

    I don't want them to be godawful, I want them to just be "pretty bad" forever and ever with no top 5 draft picks and no hope of the playoffs in sight

    I've long thought Utah was the "western conference scout" who keeps saying Parker is better than Wiggins :p

    The Jazz will get better now they got Burke instead of Burks in a playmaker role.

    It's like watching the Colts the year before they got Andrew Luck. It was nice watching them suck but you knew they were about to turn it around and that sucks worse.

    I would hardly call tanking for a CHANCE at Wiggins a successful season. I'm sure they'll be fine cause the Jazz really are a well run organization. But I lived in Utah in the years after the Rockets had faded and the Jazz were still going strong.

    I had to settle for a couple years of "just wait until Stockton and Malone retire." Then they had Williams and Boozer and Millsap. I just wanna enjoy being on top while they're stuck at the bottom.

    Can we all just agree that if they don't get Wiggins and or drop a couple spots in the draft we can pop a cork?


    (P.S. I highly doubt they would pick the Mormon just cause he's Mormon. Salt Lake City itself is a lot less "Mormon" than much of Utah, with a fair amount of anti Mormon culture even. They would pick the player they think is best. They passed on Jimmer, Keith Van Horn, Alex Jensen, and any number of local heroes because they weren't a good fit, so I don't see why they'd change their tune now)

    Has the team with the worst record in the NBA actually got the 1st pick in the last couple of years? Really asking

    The draft isn't all about Wiggins, most analysts are saying it's the most star laden draft since LBJ's draft class. So if you hate the Jazz then don't hold your breath waiting for them to be bad because they're currently on lock to get at least a top 10 pick in a very deep draft. I expect them to come out of the gates swinging in 2-3 years and take everyone by surprise.
