We didn't.....unless you think we drafted Lauri Markkanen too.

I mean, we owned that pick. I think it was traded for Tyus

Correct, that was the Tyus trade

We didn't really. We traded that pick for Tyus and then Cleveland used our pick to draft him.

For what it is worth, he was the expect first guy out of the second round that year; he would have gone higher, but was committed to his club for two additional years.

Since someone brought the negative numbers of Ricky Rubio a couple of weeks ago, i thought would be nice to bring some new numbers

During the 10 game winning streak of the Jazz, the advanced stats for the Jazz players at NBA.com

PIE (Player Impact Estimate): 1. Rubio 17.5, 2. Ingles 13.1, 3. Gobert 12.7, 4. Favors 12.6, 5. DM 11.4 (Note: Rubio cracks the top 15 in the entire NBA for PIE over the 10 game winning streak.)

NET RATING: 1. Rubio 22.5, 2. Ingles 22.0, 3. Favors 19.0, 4. Gobert 16.4, 5. DM 15.2

DEFRTG: 1. Rubio 93.2, 2. Ingles 93.8, 3. DM 94.4, 4. Favors 95.0, 5. Gobert 96.4

EFG%: 1. Ingles 75.5%, 2. Rubio 59.5, 3. O'Neale 56.7%, 4. Favors 55.1% 5. Gobert 54%,....... 8. DM 47.9%

OFFRTG: 1. Ingles 115.8, 2. Rubio 115.6, 3. Favors 114.0, 4. Gobert 112.8, 5. O'Neale 111.8, 5. Neto 109.7

PPG: 1. DM 21.0, 2. Rubio 18.9, 3. Ingles 16.2, 4. Gobert 13.2, Favors 12.3 (Note: Rubio is over 20 ppg if you exclude game number eight where he left early with the hip injury.)

Seems like Thibs may have made a series of the worst possible moves last summer.

Here is the list of dudes Thibs has signed to contracts: Cole Aldrich, Jordan Hill, Gorgui Dieng, Jeff Teague, Taj Gibson, Jamal Crawford, Shabazz Muhammad, Andrew Wiggins. Yikes!

Im not at the point where I want to bash Thibs' signings yet but I wonder how things would be going if we still had Flip in the front office. i really do think Flips greatest strength was his ability to evaluate talent. I liked him as the GM.

If I ignore the trade for freaking Payne , I agree.

Same here. Took him a while to adjust but he's been tearing it up on their big winning streak before the recent injury. Trying to get over my resentment towards Thibs and this just makes it that much worse. Couple that with being extremely disappointed in Teague. Ugh.

I thought i'd be over it by now, but tbh the trade still doesn't make any sense.

People keep saying, "It made sense for us to trade Ricky since we brought in Butler". Butler does not create THAT many plays or handle the ball that much to trade a PG like Rubio, maybe late in the fourth quarter Jimmy handles the ball a ton, but Ricky created so many easy baskets for others throughout the whole game or at least made the right pass.

Not even that, Rubio is a class above Teague in defense.

And he's younger.

On a cheaper contract.

**** you Thibs

I'm as big a Rubio fan as you'll find but a lineup of Rubio, Butler, Wiggins, Gibson and KAT provides zero spacing. Butler isn't a spot up shooter who would benefit much from Ricky finding him spotted up and open.

So when people are saying Rubio with Butler isn't a good fit, it's not that it's because Butler can provide the playmaking that Rubio can

Post #560 » by **Calinks** » Sun Feb 25, 2018 6:00 pm

Kind of bizarre. Just yesterday I was thinking about Craigers! Craig Smith! Just thinking how much I used to enjoy him and wondering what he was up to now, if he still kept in touch with any NBA players, etc. Today I just happen to be on NBA TV and Baron Davis has a show on and as I am flipping through channels, there he is! He plays in the Drew League sounds like he helps mentor young players or helps run the league. Just funny to see him after I was just thinking about him and haven't seen or heard squat for like 5 years.
