I almost feel bad for Woj. Can't leak the picks so he's using words like... locked in focused on zeroing in prefers focused on targeting seriously considering locked on determined to select fixated on zeroed in on no plans to pass on focused on has a laser on unlikely to resist enamored with tantalized by locked on
Hilarious. He’s dying to beat Shams. Probably the most exciting part of this process. I have them on alert so no point of watching the draft. I get a notification every few mins.
Best part of this draft by far. Whatever Woj rule the NBA tried to do this year completely failed tonight and will be rewritten for the 2019 draft.
Its like signing curry, but not allowing him to shoot 3s. However he pretty much announced all the picks anyways.

Source: Utah Jazz have no plans to pass on Grayson Allen with the 21st pick. Woj Was the Real Star of the 2018 NBA Draft By the end of Round 1, Woj seemed to have reverted to his old ways. Memphis was “choosing” Jevon Carter and Brooklyn would “select” Dzanan Musa, he tweeted. These are tipped picks without even the candy coating of euphemism. An ESPN executive may be unlikely to resist giving Woj a stern talking to, but I hope they are focused on letting it slide.
