Deron is a fantastic pick
I was kinda shocked he's fallen this far, but then again, so have a lot of All-NBA guards. Deron was my favourite though. His Utah days were awesome
I loved watching those Utah teams. They were my favourite team outside of Boston to watch in the league at that time. Deron made them hum. Beautiful to watch.
They had so many guys I liked. Kinda disappointed me that they never won anything, they had a bunch of great guys, and a couple who were definitely ahead of their time
Their front office needed to balance out the team better.
After Deron, their next 4 players were all best at the PF position. One a true PF. Two other PF/SFs. And a PF/C. Too much overlap.
So they played one of their PF/SFs at SF were he was much less effective and then put a SF/SG next to him neither of who could reliably hit outside shots.
So frustrating. They were so close. They just needed a front office with some balls. Instead they were overly loyal to the players already there and everything fell apart over time.
Still, great to watch at times. Deron was awesome. Multiple skilled bigs. Beautiful Jerry Sloan offense.
Argh, that team both annoyed & thrilled me so much!
