Dario Saric, Philadelphia 76ers
Last week, I identified the Philadelphia 76ers’ Dario Saric as my ideal deadline acquisition for the Jazz. In another feature, I evaluated his best-case scenario in Jazz blue as follows —
"“Dario Saric comes to Utah and, right off the bat, the Jazz realize they have something special. He’s an incredible complement to the Stifle Tower on both ends of the floor. While he managed to do good things for the Philadelphia 76ers (13.5 points and 36 percent from three this season), he really thrives in Utah with an expanded role. Thanks to his rookie deal, restricted free agency and home-team advantage, the Jazz have him on lockdown for the next several years. Mitchell-Gobert-Saric becomes one of the league’s most exciting young cores."
Clearly, I’m pretty high on the former lottery pick. So rather than sing the same praises once again, here’s a reel of Saric slinging the ball around like a madman to get you sizzling —
Get this man into a Utah Jazz uniform, STAT!
