Everyone shocked when Kyle Filipowski fell not only from the middle of the first round, but also from the round period fell in 2024. When the Utah Jazz got him in the second round, many wondered if the NBA had made a mistake to let him fall so far. More than a year later it is clear that it did. With the future of Filipowski, it is only honest to conclude that any hangups there were in the design, very mistaken.
Sam Vecenie spoke about how, despite a few bad concepts about Filipowski prior to the NBA design of 2024, nothing he had heard about him indicated that something was wrong with his character. With how much Filipowski has proven since then, it is clear to Vecenie that teams have assessed him incorrectly.
“Filipowski is like a very Intel conversation where I think people had had that child wrong at the end of the day. I ended up with him in the top 20 because I did the Intel research and I understood … There was the whole Mormon girlfriend -ing. Most of the teams I spoke did not give it.
“There was a team dynamic there that certainly came up … But everything I received was’ employee, goes inside, does his job, goes home and he is always with his girlfriend and it is fine.” “
The controversy around Filipowski mainly amounted to the situation of the girlfriend, but it is clear that after his Rookie season that is not only the talent there, but he has no bad character at all. Now he is one of the most promising players in the schedule of Utah. If you go in year 2, there is a considerable amount of hype for the second -year jazzman.
That is why it is smart to take those swings in the second round
For a team like Utah they are wise to take every talented player whose concept stock has gone into a free fall. Filipowski’s took the point that Utah chose two players before she chose him in last year’s design. Anyway, a reconstruction team must always roll the dice for talented players such as he, regardless of potential character problems, because it will not hurt, even if he fails.
Utah did exactly that, and they pick the rewards of it. Even if Filipowski does not become a star – never say never after that summer League performance – he projects a very useful rotation for years that are great for the coming years, which is a huge efficiency on investment for a pick in the second round.
Even if his character problems were a problem, as long as Filipowski lets his play play, that is still a risk that it is worth taking. Supplied problems have never been a conflict, and that is why Utah has made the smart move. Of course, it’s bizarre how they got Filipowski, but they like to take their chances on him and that’s why they look very smart.
