The Utah Jazz were active on draft night. General Manager Dennis Lindsey moved up twice, trading Trey Lyles and the 24 pick for Donovan Mitchell at 13 and trading the 30 and 42 picks for Tony Bradley at 28. Before the buzzer, Lindsey grabbed Nigel Williams-Goss with the 55 pick. Everyone knows how silly it is to grade a draft immediately after the picks are submitted. Alas, we do it anyways. Let’s take a trip around the internet to see how the experts feel about Utah’s draft.
[Mitchell’s] ability to defend both backcourt positions, run the point, shoot the 3 and get to the rim makes him very attractive to the Jazz, who see him as being a potential starter someday.
