Question of the Day: How many of the Utah Jazz draft picks will still be in Utah in three years?

join H Olsen in the zone broadcasting live from the Royal Court pickle ball Club Utah’s new state-of-the-art indoor pickle ball facility in Herman Friday from noon to 3: stop by for prizes food and fun way cool has Mrs K check that place out yet is that on her her list oh yeah oh yeah I don’t even know what that means Last Summer we were golfing and she was going to golf but then she wasn’t and then I got there and she golfed with us for nine holes and had to take off for pickle ball she’d been in a golf tournament in the morning uh she already golfed in pickle ball the same day she’s already she’s already done the golf pickle ball double letterer yeah all right Royal Court pickle ball club we expect a full review at some point question of the morning what are you along fourth of uh July weekend plans Jason sent us this he’s going to Pine View look at that the sun’s coming up they’re already on the boat out there is it coming up or is it going down oh that could be going you got me there I don’t know I’m in a morning mood so I thought coming up but you right it could be going down either way it’s awesome good look out there looks awesome now the one request we have here from Jazz fans is no major NBA news on the 4th of July so we started talking about uh potential moves that got his thinking Gordon Hayward of course and uh the young guys and it’s always when the young guys come in there’s always fans are tweeting at us yeah they’ll be gone in seven years okay so your question is how many will be here in three years though of the guys they drafted last week of the guys they just picked right the guys we haven’t even seen him in summer league yet that’s coming up next week yeah and in the last segment I hedged one two one two but I finally decided one somebody at some point the Jazz are going to make a a trade here and they’re going to have to move young guys I’m going to say that there’s one in three years looking back maybe I should have said zero but I went with one oo well if somebody isn’t good enough yeah because it’s going to be a big contract so presumably going to have to send a lot back and guys on the rookie deals I can see where a draft class is gone to get whoever starting to talk myself into that I’ll stick with one I said one we’ll go with one all right you said you would give us your answer shortly is this shortly are you going to hold out on hold out on us till the next it Tim right now okay these three guys yes all three really yeah and it’s all about the internal development I think all three will be there I think they’re going to like all three no trades nobody’s going to get moved of these three of these three there’ll be plenty of deals to be made well with three picks from the prior year and baring a trade presumably three more next year there will be other young talent that could go into a trade well yes and that’s what I’m thinking because those three are going to be more heralded two of them not sure about sensible but right now George and Henrik look like they would have more value they’ll more time to prove themselves so with that in mind they’re G they’re going to like these three but two of those three henrix and George will be more valuable and then they would be able to fetch more value in return so that’s my line of thinking these guys over here have a chance to be good we’ll see how it plays out right the other dudes because of their value will be more at the time will be able to get more in return and the Jazz know full well that in order to get where they want to go there’s going to have to be trades it simply cannot be draft draft draft grow grow grow draft draft draft grow grow grow that’s that’s too laborious I don’t know that anybody’s everever done that well we know Denver didn’t because they made a big trade with Orlando to get one of their key pieces that largely done by draft OKC in the process largely done by draft but they have since made they made the one huge trade and then this very off season here now they also traded uh giddy who was their number six pick for Caruso so that’s two trades and drafts and that is and then they got uh hartenstein the Knicks Center because the Knicks didn’t have the room financially so then they get him and that’s the way to do it hartenstein on his own isn’t going to make any difference but they’re looking for a big body and he’s going to fulfill what they used to have in a Ste stepen Adams role and that’s the type of free agent that most markets most teams are going to be able to get you take advantage of that situation you have the space you can bring him in he has to get he has to take the money he must he I know he loved the Nick situation but he had to take the money you got to this is business you can still be friends with all those Villanova guys just as well you just won’t be there every day um and that’s the way this team is going to do it we already know how they’re going to do it we don’t know the particular names but we know the formula and that’s the way it’s going to be so my line of thinking is these guys will be good enough but henrix and George will bring more value I don’t know that either one would be traded but if they’re going to go in along those lines that’s the line of thinking that I’m taking right now and I think it’s freaking brilliant good for you dislocate that shoulder patting yourself on the back well it’s all theoretical nothing has happened nothing has happened but I’m trying to have a theory behind just spouting off oh one two zero ready three you know that my so I I was thinking about it and I thought that that’s a decent Theory it is a decent Theory the the thing that could work against you is that that uh depending on a team’s particular salary situation you know they’re going to be closer to getting paid the guys who’ve been drafted more recently and we don’t even know the timing of this trade right but I don’t think it’s that big of a deal control them longer get a younger guy and it just could come down to which team scatter which of these guys and and thinks oh that’s going to be the guy and what your needs are yeah what you’re looking for what holes you need to plug but George and Hendricks have already shown enough to know hey there’s something there it’s clearly there’s something there yeah they’re going to be playing in the NBA for a while yeah right uh to what level we’ll determine so maybe somebody takes a fly and they the Jazz can get better not that they if both those guys continue on the path of development they wouldn’t necessarily want to give them away but you if you’re getting uh much back in return well then you do it or the trade’s going to be uh next year right at the draft when those picks are most valuable and everyone’s salivating over the guys in that draft it’ll be more about that and not so much about the 20124 and 2023 kids yeah I don’t know what the pick’s going to be what their pick will be right I think that next year is when they start the Minnesota Cleveland Spiel uh yeah but what is that and where are any of those three teams drafting right those teams seem to be okay for next season so they’d be later we don’t know how the as are going to do are they going to and they don’t if the pick is 11 or worse they don’t even get the pick right so they’ve gotta see if they have the pick I did assume three but it’s not necessarily the case yeah I don’t know it could be conveyed we’ll have to see right yeah so we’ll have to see how that plays out but I think be surprised that puts them in a good situation though because I think they got three players capable of doing something here we’re talking about this year talk about 2024 yeah the guys we haven’t seen in summer league yet right and I I like yesterday they asked the guys you know what are you what are you looking for in the summer league I don’t know I don’t know what do you expect compete I heard that I thought that’s a safe answer it’s a good answer and a safe answer yeah they’re going in wideeye they really don’t know no idea because you’re going to have veteran youngsters on the summer league and to what degree do those guys play how many games yada yada you know the first game everyone’s all jacked and and then we’ll go and then they go down to Vegas and who’s available what they do there and all that stuff normally they don’t play every single game yada yada so just and and and I think Justin zanic wanted to say uh let’s pull the plug on all sorts of excitement because if it’s great doesn’t mean they’re going to be great if it stinks doesn’t mean they’re going to be stinky and that’s the truth right you want you want everybody to play well but if they don’t it’s not catastrophic I want immediate overreaction yeah let’s go and with this year’s team with the guys from last year rookies plus a Kessler and then these rookies there’s too many guys to feature like Donovan Mitchell can have the ball in his hands a whole bunch in his summer league debut well that doesn’t seem to be the case going forward here that they’re going to be able to have that so we’re not going to really be worried about that just run around show some athletic ability uh make some plays that we can immediately overreact to uh Williams uh show your length and your agility that you’ve got and your wingspan and all that and caller make a couple nice passes and Phil lowski hit a couple shots if they just do that that’s largely why they were drafted over overall athletic ability by Williams he can defend multiple positions uh and can slide his feet yada yada and call your can pass the ball a little bit get into the paint make a couple shots and for Kyle just hit some outside shots and move the ball you know from scouting him and reading on him he can pass the ball a little bit so just do that and then you’re good to go I I would think all three would play a pay a back play a back seat to Kesler Henri and George my guess is George is in and out but I think your point about they’re not going to play every game for sure take that bet and whether they play every day or two out of three so if kean’s gonna play two and then take one off well that’s a game that Coler can be really featured and there’s another game where you know maybe they try him together for a little bit K is’s not going to play every minute of every game even when he does play he’s not no oh so they can put him in did you know that y he’s not going to be a true Iron Man come on now push the envelope let’s go I want to hear about this conditioning I want to see it let’s go well there was that running joke about Michael Bridges he’s played like 471 straight games and somebody had a meme of bridges yeah yeah and him going to the Nicks and Tom Tibido being like oh we’ll see about this but I’m excited for all three in the coming years and I think that excited or intrigued I’m excited oh okay yeah I go with more intrigued your choice no I’m excited because I think that they’ve got potential to be good yeah and that’s why I say that I look forward to all three of them being on the team in 2728 provided I’m alive hey I don’t know if I’ll be alive this Sunday give me a call okay I will I’ll do that because I got to know who I’m doing the other thing with you yeah okay yeah that’s good heads up uh get some good news and some bad news PK good news you’ll be doing this with me uh bad news you got to come back for a funeral or just send a card no uh so that’s what I see I’m I’m very optimistic in a normally sour push negative way I I have op I’m confused by this well I have optimism these are three guys that I’ve seen play a lot when I when you say when I guess I guess the difference between intrigued and excited is that you’re excited if you think they’re going to be a star that can put that that’s exciting I’m intrigued because you’re right I have seen them play I get the case for every one of these guys being good that’s not usually works out and everybody isn’t going to be good but somebody is going to be good out of this group I’d be stunned if there wasn’t an NBA starter in the group right they gotta be somebody’s going these three you’re speaking of yeah these six I was just talking these three okay but you could widen it out to six I’m not sure I see a star there it could happen because Stars quote unquote come out of nowhere that’s the excitement is because you’re not sure yeah but you’re right but to fre excited I gotta have a little more of a hand I gotta have a little high they’ve shown a little bit of a hint they’ve already they’ve shown enough to give me a level of excitement they’ve already in my mind have proven it to a degree at their level not at the level that matters at their level they’ve already had shown me that they all three of them have the capability of being significant contributors I’m not talking star that’s what I’m talking I’m talking Allstar all NBA like it was exciting when marinin started playing you realized I thought a long time ago he could be an All-Star and then there was you just didn’t see it in Chicago and Cleveland and now you can see it and he actually you know got to do it 25 points a game I don’t know that I see any of these guys in an All-Star game so rare the odds are against them man there’s 450 players in the league and 30 allars right so statistically no it’s not going to happen I agree but I’ve already factored that that’s the level those are the players who are exciting who excit me intrigue me you but you would never have that excitement though because statistic no you’d have it for LeBron and who else big Vic big Vic but then who else so you’re never excited allegedly the top three players in the draft well at some point you are you may not be excited year not this year you may not be excited on draft night but as they start to break out and develop then you have that level of excitement well but they haven’t begun to play so we’re essentially on draft night right now there’s no games that matter for another four or five months so I can’t be uh by your definition I’m I’m going through life excitement free no I don’t want to do that I want to go through life having some excitement that’s the point of it right Yak told me the other day he said he said PK did you know that men are that they are to have joy that’s what he said he told me that wait what did you say yuck men are they’re are to have joy right that’s what he told me what did you tell him and not me I was because I was passing him in the hallway on the way to the can total Rando convo huh apparently no he’s always trying to drop these nuggets you know life advice from y years runs deep with him and it’s hard to let go life you know what I mean life with Y in a hallway yeah that’s just you know that’s who he was he’s an elder at heart and so yeah I get it it notes on a napkin my basketball life what was that thing life in a hallway with yach I know malamud used to do nights notes on a scorecard for the Times way back when so that’s why I have excitement because if I just thought oh they’re gonna be an Allstar well then 95% of the draft aren’t all stars and it doesn’t matter who where you drafted right win tickets Wednesday coming up caller 12 8157 five Zone wins a four pack of tickets to The Ultimate Sports bash taking place at the Mountain America Expo Center on July 12th and 13th we’re going to give those tickets away in about 30 minutes stick around for that Tim lome jazz radio Studio
