Eric Walden @tribjazz
Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert are on opposite All-Star teams again. And after they were the penultimate and final picks last year, Don goes a bit earlier this time, and Rudy proves at least more likable for KD than a certain James Harden. – 7:02 PM
Adam Wexler @AdamJWexler
#NBAAllStar draft just concluded. Last two reserves available: James Harden & Rudy Gobert. Durant has to pick one of them. Durant picks Gobert, while Lebron hides his face behind a clipboard while he’s laughing his behind off. Barkley, Kenny & Shaq were egging them on throughout. – 7:01 PM

David Hardisty @clutchfans
James Harden is the very last pick of the All-Star Draft. Kevin Durant passed on him for Devin Booker, Karl-Anthony Towns, Zach LaVine, Dejounte Murray, Khris Middleton, LaMelo Ball and Rudy Gobert.
LeBron and Barkley laughed knowing what was happening 😂 – 7:00 PM
Ryan Miller @millerjryan
And Rudy Gobert is picked second to last by Kevin Durant. KD wasn’t touching Harden 😂 – 7:00 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
“Imma need some size for sure” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 KD picking Rudy Gobert over James Harden got me crying right now – 7:00 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Lmao! Kevin Durant picked Rudy Gobert over James Harden. That makes Harden the last pick of the All-Star draft and he will be selected by Team LeBron. #Sixers6:59 PM
Ben Golliver @BenGolliver
Nets’ Kevin Durant passed on 76ers’ James Harden in the 2022 NBA All-Star Game draft seven times, selecting (in order) Devin Booker, Karl-Anthony Towns, Zach LaVine, Dejounte Murray, Khris Middleton, LaMelo Ball and Rudy Gobert. Harden was left as the last pick. – 6:59 PM
Ben Anderson @BensHoops
Things to watch for the rest of the season for the @Utah Jazz:
-Does this recent effort on defense continue when Gobert returns?
-How does Nickeil Alexander-Walker fit?
-How does Jordan Clarkson respond knowing he’s not on the block?
-What of Forrest & House Jr’s contracts? – 3:43 PM
Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Jazz win 111-85. A remarkable defensive performance against the Ws gets them this win, and sets them up well for Gobert’s return.
Mitchell: 14p, 10r, 8a.
Bogdanovic: 23p, 6r.
Whiteside: 9p, 14r, 7b, and a +35.
Orlando’s up next on Friday. – 12:28 AM
Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Jazz up 79-65. An 86 defensive rating for the Jazz without Rudy Gobert… wow. I understand the Warriors are missing Klay/Dray, and yet that’s really impressive. Their best defensive performance of the season so far. – 11:53 PM
Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
Warriors trail Jazz 55-49 at the half in SLC
-13-0 start for GSW, 55-36 since
-Poole 13, Curry 10 (7 rebs), Wiggins/Porter 8 each
-Utah 10 pts off GSW turnovers
-Utah 28-10 advantage in paint pts (w/o Gobert), so midrange and 3s are GSW’s best friends. – 11:15 PM
Ben Anderson @BensHoops
The Jazz defense is playing with so much more connectivity than it was even a month ago.
Having Forrest at the point of attack helps, but everyone on the team is playing sharper and with more urgency.
Could be big when Gobert returns. – 10:45 PM

More on this storyline

Eric Walden: Jordan Clarkson was a full participant in today’s Jazz shootaround. Rudy Gobert went through portions. Rudy Gay did not participate. And Danuel House, whose 10-day expired yesterday, is not with the team at present. -via Twitter @tribjazz / February 7, 2022
