An instant reaction to the NBA draft lottery results.
The integrity! Won’t someone please think of the integrity? The Utah Jazz have moved up in the draft for the first time in franchise history. They will be picking 2nd overall. The tanking, resting starters in the fourth, and fines have all lead to this moment. We should also appreciate that all the teams picking in the top 4 are well deserving. The 42-40 Clippers did secure the 5th pick since the Pacers fell out of the top 4. Let us also be appreciative
that OKC is picking 12th and the Mavericks are picking 9th. All is right with the world.
The question now facing the front office is: who will the be available at the 2nd spot. AJ Dybansta, or Darryn Peterson? The question now facing every Jazz fan is: just how far can this team make it in the playoffs next season? In the meantime we should all celebrate this monumental occasion, and be kind to our mothers.
