If the Jazz were drafting anywhere from about 5 to 10, Williams would have been the first choice at any one of those picks

Between this and Keyonte last year, JZ is on a pretty good streak. You can tell why the FO was less bothered than fans about dropping from 8 to 10.

I kinda see why Minny did it. They desperately needed more offense especially for non-Ant minutes, and their guards outside of Ant were pretty limited in that side of the ball.

NAW was their best guard off the bench and only one who got consistent burn in the postseason... so inserting an offensive sparkplug who doesnt burden your cap much makes sense. If either Shannon or Dilly develops into playable sub this year, they probably have use for at least one of them.

I think overall it’s a good night for them. Just the big knock on Dilly was he may not be able to play in the playoffs. It’s more of a long term play than me and other people are letting on but still kinda weird.

I think because they owe everything to us, they saw this as their one opportunity to move up and draft a Conley padawan before he ages out.
 
DA and JZ have drafted 5 straight OADs, all 19 1/2 yo. that's more just an interesting fact than meaningful in any way, but if one is going to take something from it, they are swinging for the fences.
 
am i the only who thinks sexton keyonte and now collier are points guards and not shooting guards. i would not play them together because of their defensive liabilities.

you're not wrong. the fit isn't great. they are going to have to work that out. however, if collier is good enough that fit becomes a problem, it means the jazz knocked it out of the park at 29.

Most likely case scenario is we find a dump for Clarkson before the season starts and they explore Sexton/Collins mid;season.

Doubt Collier plays at all to start. He's going to be a GLeague star next to whoever we draft at 32.

Dillingham really couldn’t have went to a better situation. He has the best defensive team in the league surrounding him.

Keyonte isn't a pure point guard, and so far he hasn't been much of an advantage creator when he's on the ball. He's still developing obviously, but to me he's more of a combo-guard who can score at this stage. Think Reggie Jackson in Detroit. I think he can play next to another lead guard.
 
I'm surprised that the Spurs, a 22-win team last year, would punt on their top-8 pick, when guys like Williams, Buzelis and Carter are sitting there.

100%, but it makes for an extremely small backcourt if you take him off the ball. imo, he needs to be a lead guard due to his size and then ideally you'd have a bigger guard play alongside him. that's ultimately the issue.
