He said Walt has relationships with a lot of agents and agents set up workouts with the Jazz so their client can see what a pro workout is like and because of their relationship with Walt. He said that was how the Jazz got Donovan Mitchell in for a workout. His agent wanted him to experience a workout before he worked out with lottery teams. The Jazz had a late first round pick that year and there was no way Mitchell would still be on the board. The broadcaster said that Walt told everyone that witnessed the workout not to say anything about it or they would be fired. He then pulled off a trade to get Mitchell at 12. Plenty of other great stories about Walt. Sounds like Rose got a good one.

That is exactly the type of story you want to hear about your GM. Great hire!
