If Dennis Lindsey has made one thing clear since taking over as GM for the Utah Jazz, it’s this: He is not afraid to make draft-night trades.
There isn’t too much anticipation from fans of teams with the 24th and 30th picks in the NBA Draft, because the chances of landing a star at that position aren’t great. For Jazz fans, though, it’s almost always entertaining. The team has a history of getting steals outside of the lottery.
Paul Millsap, Rodney Hood, Rudy Gobert, CJ Miles, Mo Williams and Andrei Kirilenko are just a few who were all selected in the late first or second rounds of the draft.
