It was painful to watch Lyles take a dump on the court last year, but that is exactly what he did.

So glad to have traded all of that for Mitchell instead.

You can't be serious. Even though I love what I have seen from Mitchell if you were to ask anyone if they would rather have Booker and the 24th pick or Mitchell they would all take Booker and the pick.

Lets not make big conclusions based on single games. Booker has been having a tremendous season and is a great offensive player. IMO Mitchell is more well-rounded, but there will be some time before we know whether Mitchell will be better than him or not.

I wanted Booker BADLY on draft night. So did everyone in the arena. I even saw a video of myself on Youtube booing the pick and showing thumbs down at the Trey Lyles selection.

That said, I am WAY HAPPY with the outcome now! Donovan Mitchell is EXACTLY the kind of player the Jazz have needed!

I'm not getting over my skis and saying DM is the next MJ, but he has been very impressive; and no I don't miss Trey Lyles if that meant we didn't get DM.

Lyles isn't looking too bad as a bench rotation player or low-end starter with 10.8 ppg, 5.2 rb and eFG 0.587 in 20.7 mpg. He clearly is improved over his Jazz years. I really don't think the Jazz had "given up" on him but the business part was moving him for DM - clearly the right call. While not to jinx DM, the kid has superstar written all over him.

ABsolutely no regrets, we landed a franchise player for a guy who was not playing well for us.

You do realize that Booker is averaging 24pts, 4rbs and almost 5 assists a game don't you. He is also younger than Mitchell. Also we are talking about the 24th pick as well. I was obsessed with Jordan Bell, Bolden and Frank Jackson with that pick. We don't know anything about Bolden and Jackson yet but Bell has looked awesome.

@Ben_Dowsett: And here are his ranks among all players in DRPM every year he's been in the league:

17-18: 470th of 479
16-17: 451st of 468
15-16: 419th of 423

DRPM is not perfect, sure, but Booker has been a bottom-20 NBA player by defensive impact every single year he's played.

Good offensive players but garbage defensive players still have a place in the NBA but it is still a concern that he hasn't shown improvement on that end. He's somewhat the Kanter of shooting guards. Sure he may light it up on offense but if his matchup is scoring right after he's not that useful. Although i think with more focus on it he can definitely improve on that area of his game. Does he have a the determination to do so though? Who knows.. Ben did a great job of breaking down like 7 or 8 plays and there's plenty more he could've from last night and while it's a very small sample but then explain the rest of his young career so far.

The whole thing's a total crap shoot. I mean what would Steph Curry have become after his disastrous injury filled first few years, if he hadn't had the best team trainer (Keke Lyles) in all of sports to teach him how to load his hips and what exercise routine to embark on? It's all about situations and opportunity more often than not. Trey Lyles? How about Enes Kanter? Who envisioned him becoming the best offensive rebounder in the game. Or Marvin Williams? Or Kyle Korver? Or Trevor Booker? Or Demarre Carrol? Or even Trey Burke getting a second chance? Personally, I'm just happy to see ex-Jazz men having success in this league. We must've done something right here in order for them to excel down the road.

Basically we ended up with a franchise player by dealing Lyles. Lyles is no dog, never was even at his lowest point, and I have to give Denver credit for seeing the potential in him. One of those deals that paid dividends to both sides. I do miss Lyles' with his posturing and courtside antics, celebrating his teams success. He was a good teammate and a good soldier. Still, Mitchell has so much poise and leadership, in such a durable package, anyone can see his greatness and potential. I know that Ben Simmons has been nothing short of incredible in technically his second season, but Mitchell deserves the ROY award, and DL deserves some kudos for seeing the potential and trading up to #13 to get him.

I’ll take a two-way star in the mold of D Wade w/ 3pt range over a Ray Allen-type any day.

Without better defense, Booker is just slightly more dynamic Kevin Martin.

Sure. Keep telling yourself that.

Martin's third season was when he took off, he was two years older but statistically very comparable. More efficient scorer, was a bad defender but not a turnstile (later in his career got much worse) and much better advance stats. Booker gets more volume and is a better passer. Booker will be the better player by a pretty large margin, but he's gotta start playing some defense. I'm not saying this as a slight, people underrate Martin quite a bit. But Booker's potential is much higher. Still, I'd easily take Mitchell over Booker. Of course, if we had Booker we'd likely still have Hayward, so it's a very different calculus.
