Memphis gets GG Jackson at 45. He was the last interesting player left for me. Not exactly a great culture for a super young and inconsistent player. Good luck to him.

Dok should have been picked in the 40s in his draft. The last regime was incompetent

I feel for him as I think he has been getting really bad advice. He was reportedly the #1 prospect in his class and had he gone to a Kentucky, Duke or the like he probably would have been a top half of the lottery selection next draft.

He's averaging 20 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 3 steals in summer league. Means almost nothing, but obviously it's better than nothing. He shows what most of us thought he would be--a good, athletic scorer with a lot of upside. While I don't think that Houston is the best place for him, I think a lot of teams will end up regretting passing on him. That we did it twice will hurt twice as much.

The real decision the Jazz FO is making is between Continuity, Cap Flexibility, and Cash Considerations.

If our picks shine the passing twice won't matter near as much. Was red flags and many teams passed on him so wasn't just Utah with question marks.
