Live broadcast, September 13 -at the jazz press conference today, Sir CEO Danny Anji made a speech on the Donovan-Mitchell deal. He talked about the atmosphere of the team when he first came to jazz: “When I first came here, I was not sure what would happen. I saw some players who did not trust each other. At that time, I thought they were just waiting for the playoffs, so I just had some doubts. I have also discussed this issue with other team members. The players have personal determination, but they have no collective determination.” Anji also talked about the prediction of the future draft: “I think the quality of the draft in 2023 will be better than this year, and I don’t know its ranking in history (draft quality). I also think 2024 may be better than 2023.” During the off-season this year, the Jazz sent the core of the team, Gobel and Mitchell, began to rebuild, and got several first-round signatures.

Anji: What I saw when I came to the Jazz team was that players didn’t trust each other. The 23-year draft will be better than this year.
