My worst fear would be Terrance Ferguson and Ivan Rabb I think. Lydon would be a pretty poor result too. Bam I would be indifferent to unless they picked him over someone else that was available who I liked a lot.

Don't understand the hate for Ferguson? Of all the guys in the jazz's range I feel he has the highest ceiling. He can shoot and has NBA good to elite athleticism. I feel he's at least Gerald Green for his floor. Green has carved out a solid career, or he could be as high as Thompson without the defense. Can u ask for much more in the jazz range?

- He's a high volume three point shot taker but not maker. Nearly half of his fg attempts with Adelaide were from three, shooting only 31.3%. In FIBA Junior Team Events (U19 world championships, U17 world championships, U16 americas championships) he averaged 6.3 fga per game and 3.8 were from three where he shot only 33.3%. He's reliant on the three and he doesn't hit it enough.

- His overall fg% is poor as well. 40% in FIBA Junior Team events. 38.1% at Adelaide.

- He doesn't get to the free throw line. 1.3 free throw attempts per game in FIBA. 0.7 free throw attempts per game with Adelaide (only 1.8 per 40).

- He's not a playmaker at all. He averaged more turnovers than assists in both FIBA play (1.6 TOPG/1.5 APG) and with Adelaide (1.0 TOPG/0.6 APG)

- He's super skinny at 186 pounds with average arm length (6'8 3/4)

- He's a good athlete but certainly not elite given his combine numbers

He's flashy. He might be in some dunk contests in his career judging off of his mixtapes. But I don't see the substance in his game. I see him as a complete developmental prospect who will probably need two to three years at minimum in the dleague. And because he's so reliant on the three his ceiling is probably as a 3 and D type role player when he finally develops. I just wouldn't use a first round pick on him. I see him a second rounder you throw a hail mary on and see if you get lucky.
 
Luke Kennard coming in at 11 is the biggest eye-opener of the new DX mock. I love him though and that confirms there is zero chance we get him.

It's the final mock that's being measured against other final mock drafts. We're still 3 weeks away from that. DX collaborating with yahoo/vertical/woj probably helps them get some last minute scoops. My guess those leaks kinda look like: Indiana is picking 18th - Someone with access to the war room is leaking who they got 16th to 20th at the time or they leak an older or a fake list depending on what the circumstances are. That way they got a pretty good idea who's popular where.

I'M just happy I got next week off and have some time to watch the NBA finals and catch up on pre draft stuff.
