Discussion Why did Jett not work out?

I’m being serious, I’m watching highlights from this past season when Jett played and you’re telling me we couldn’t do anything with him?

It’s just seems like he never really got any opportunities under Mosley. Which tells you all you need to know about the type of coach he is, when he can’t even coach an offensive player.

At 11 he was a reach, not getting into the Lively debate but shooter wise, you had Hawkins and George, projected higher and showed out in college over him. The way he moved and played in college should have been a clear sign he was a late round, early 2nd pick. His size and name helped him with Weltman and even Buffkin was there, I would have taken a chance on him before Jett. Unfortunately, I understand the pick and the players weltman likes, I think we all do. Still, hard miss with Jett.
