Message: [QUOTE="JLine, post: 3603415, member: 1683"] Makes sense. The Jazz fan base is certainly one of, if not the most cerebral bunch in the league. I'm fairly confident the majority will come around on Elijah. The Azubuike pick was a bit puzzling at first glance, especially in the 1st round with the injury concerns. But, the dude is an absolute freak of nature, with a 41 inch vertical, and an all-time record for centers at the combine with a 37 inch standing vertical. If any squad can get the most out of his potential, it's Utah. He's pretty much a once in a lifetime physical specimen, so it's tough for me to grade the selection poorly. Granted, you can arguably say the same of Gobert, so maybe it's twice in a lifetime. Though his vertical is no match for Azubuike's. I feel like I may have read that wrong, it's so ridiculous.
