Jazz trade with Knicks

[framer]

If Jayden Scrubb is still on the board at #38, I'd be tempted to take him -- athletic 6/6" guard/wing who can score off the dribble. I can make an argument for why he's a better prospect than Elijah Hughes. Blazers apparently really like him, per Sam Vecenie.

That all may be true, but I don't want no Scrubb. Scrubb is a guy who will get no love from me.

That's what we wondered about borchardt.

We traded up on Borchardt, Trding down to take an extra shot on a risky player is probably the better way to go.

Also, this likely makes it harder for Brantley to make the team as I've predicted.

I am hoping for Bey and Tillman

If we can unload Davis or cut NWG, we can promote him and sign #38 to 2-Way.

Love this move, lot of good value in this draft all the way through the 50's.

Players I'd be happy they may pick at those spots:
- Tyler Bey
- Robert Woodard
- Zeke Nnaji
- Paul Reed
- Killian Tillie
- Jalen Harris

Long story short there's a lot of good prospects to be had with those picks.

Udoka would be a nice pick with our 2nd

Jazz are keeping tabs on Nico Mannion. Wonder if they think he might fall to 38. I could see him getting drafted at 27 too.

Warriors replaced them

Lets see what the Warriors do this off-season. As of now, they're right back to where they were in 2013/14, before they signed Iguodala and they were the 6th seed in the west. And even back then they had quality players like Bogut and David Lee that they don't have right now. Wiggins is just the new Harrison Barnes. Draymond has also been declining.

They also got the #2 pick and Curry/Thompson back.

Completely disagree. He has pretty good mechanics and excellent release point. He's a guy who hustles and has high character. He has everything you want outside of wiggle with his handle. The NBA game will really open up his game. He was just in a bad fit for his game.

You’re selling a guy on high character lmfao. Just stop.

NWG has absolutely no business being on this roster to begin with.

Karl Malone shot 48 percent for the FT as a rookie and hit a high around 81 percent. Rudy has improved his FTs too. If the guy has a work ethic he can improve his FT.

It's not about the FT per se. FT is an indicator for future 3p shooting though. In fact, different studies suggest that college FT% is actually more predictive of future pro 3p success than college 3p%. You can always find the outliers with greatly improved shooting, but in the long run you won't be very successful betting on outliers to happen again and again.

He thinks he's fine but he's a busta.

there is plenty to like beyond the character.

That's a big if on Davis. We will see what happens.

But even if we cut NWG and Tucker, those two spots are taken up by the two new picks (one would assume could be a stash or 2-way guy at 38).

Where does Brantley even fit on this team? He's behind Morgan and Niang on the depth chart and the Jazz might add another 4 type. It just doesnt look good for him. I expect to remain a 2-way I would assume.

Also, this likely makes it harder for Brantley to make the team as I've predicted.

I don't think we should assume the #38 pick gets elevated over Brantley in any way. Very possible that the Jazz could draft a INTL player to stash anyway if they believe roster size is an issue.

Eboua is someone who could get time in the G League and potentially make a real impact - boom or bust, but I like him. Maybe Bane even gets there.

Was watching State vs. Villanova again last night. That lack of wiggle is exactly what struck me. I like Woodard, but see why this could be a real limiting factor.

If he does become mid-30s shooter, his athleticism and developing defense might indeed make him worth a pick in the 20s, but yeah... I guess I am just not that much of a believer in it. His FT% for example is attrocious and FT% is one of the main predictors for 3p% transition to the league.

For those citing the low FT %, I did a personal study last week on the correlation between college 3% and FT% with NBA 3%. My main takeaway was that while FT% was indeed a better predictor than 3% (by about 1.5 - 2 times), neither comes close to being what you'd call determinative. The correlation between college 3% and NBA 3% was only about 30-35%. That's important, to be sure, but there's also a whole lot more to the outcome of good or bad pro 3% than college FT%. That means there's still lots of room for visual analysis of form to factor in to what we believe the NBA shot potential is.
