Utah Jazz: 2017 NBA Draft grades
By Adam Coffman
Final grade
The Utah Jazz managed to snare two of their ideal targets Thursday night, both filling a need and providing depth behind current roster members. Both Mitchell and Bradley can become future contributors if not stars as long as they put in the work.
Making the night better, Utah only had to give up Trey Lyles in addition to their current picks to move up for the two selections, avoiding the trap of falling too far in love with one player.
That being said, the Jazz’s draft performance will be reflected on in future years based on the production that their draftees put forth, rather than the potential they were selected to fulfill.
Utah came into the draft with no real roster holes, and yet still managed to find insurance for spots that could become open this summer or next.
Credit is due to general manager Dennis Lindsey for sticking to the organization’s plan, more or less hitting all the goals the front office had for the draft.
