The Jazz are nothing more than a developmental team. That’s why it’s so hard to follow them. Mitchell may very well end up being a great player and then he’ll leave for greener pastures.
We can be more than a developmental team. Look at Cleveland – all it took was getting a local kid to be one of the greatest of all time, draft him, allow him to leave, let him win a title elsewhere with another superteam, guilt trip him into a return home, build another superteam around him and hopefully get a title.
So you’re saying there’s a chance…what’s all this one in a million stuff?
It wouldn’t matter. The Jazz can’t ever succeed in the draft. The fact they picked up Stockton and Malone was a complete aberration across their history.
