Below 30% would be low for me. 35-40%+ would be "good".

Would love to see Lofton get some minutes in the KO role with actual players around him.

I think we are way too lost in the sauce thinking about a situation where he is actually very good but not perfect and then we commit ourselves too much too him lol. My worry about Dillingham is his ability to play defense and finish at the rim/get to the FT line. I’m worried about him being a...

Eh....some numbers/metrics stabilize relatively quickly and don't have as much variance. With Dillingham, I also think finishing at the basket is automatic question mark because he will be one of the smallest players in the league. If he was at least able to leverage his small stature into FT's...

At one point I thought he might be the best offensive prospect in the draft...though I've soured on him quite a bit. His size is one thing, but his finishing around the hoop was not great and he didn't get to the FT line a ton. Really tough living in the NBA. That being said, I really don't know...

3 and 5 are reasonable trade up spots. My guess is that it would be for Castle or Sheppard. Though everyone seems to be in love Clingan.

Everyone gets to compared to a superstar or whoever the latest trendy role player is. Then when you make a comparison to a different player that has 0.5 inch less wingspan they go bonkers lol.

I don’t think Lou Will is 100th percentile for Rob, but probably still a good representation of a higher end outcome. Half of these first round guys won’t become bonafide NBA players. Always got to remember the reality of draft outcomes. I really think people ought to stop comparing everyone...

Shep is number one on my board this year. One reason is that I don’t think there’s anyone else too special in this draft, but the other is when I took a deep dive into him it was incredibly encouraging. I get the concerns about him, some of them are very valid/fair, but imo he has the best...

I'm with you on this. I think Cody Williams is a fine prospect....but I don't see this swiss army knife/super versatile player others are seeing. In fact, I think one of the more notable things about Cody WIlliams is that besides scoring, he didn't really offer much. He's able to get to the...

Right….he has a lot of question marks. There are way more important things to talk about than if he can shoot or not. I honestly think the media just loves to run with “this tall guy can shoot” whenever they can. Saying 48/100 from 3 like it’s incredible is basically exposing the “reporter” for...

Looks like Dillingham will slide far past us. View: https://x.com/esidery/status/1802726900084641805?s=46&t=O8QgyEFSLCb2qd3SCki2Cw

Here’s what I’ll say about Edey. You only draft him at #10 if you think he’s extremely special around the basket and that you will give him the ball to work. There’s only a handful of the guys in the entire NBA that are good enough to throw the ball to in the post on a consistent basis. You have...

Article on Jazz 100 drill. Other teams use this as well. According to the article, 70 is impressive and you should be above 50. https://www.deseret.com/2017/6/8/20613719/jazz-100-drill-gives-nba-hopefuls-a-shot-to-impress-team-executives/

I haven’t been following, but if it’s the same as it was before…probably not great. He really loves to look into synergy but I don’t think he does it in a great way.

Locke 100% used to know who the Jazz were picking, or his opinions were swayed by someone who did. But it’s a new FO. Locke doesn’t have the same insight. I wouldn’t call him an insider on draft stuff anymore.

We have no players on the Jazz roster that should preclude us from drafting a certain type of player. If Lauri could not fit with a player in this draft, I would say we shouldn't draft that guy but there does not exist a player who can't play with Lauri. Sexton is a maybe. If you really want to...

The Mavs had been to the WC finals already. They had Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. Completely different situation. Turns out that when you have established players and are at a different stage as a franchise you should have a different drafting strategy. A team trying to appease their superstar...

Even if they get a guy that’s an actual offensive superstar….I think they will continue to make the same mistake by using Mikal as some high usage shot creator and they’re eventually going to pay him like one too. They hit a double but think they hit a grand slam. Maybe it’s just all fake….but...

It's pretty simple. We just don't think the Jazz roster precludes us from drafting another player. What more detail do you need more than that? If you believe there is a reason why we cannot draft a certain type of player, that deserves some detailed explanation. This idea that teams are...
