Unrealistic, probably not. But I’d also say it’s pretty unlikely. Physically he’s very far behind, his skill level is very low, and he has a very low motor. I don’t think any of those things are set in stone and he can improve, but he needs massive improvements in all of those areas just to be...

Raw numbers are fairly similar, but advanced numbers show a huge edge to Exum....but it's somewhat of an apples to oranges comparison given the different situations. Still, it's worth mentioning that Cody was the tank commander on a terrible team while Exum was a +/- god on a decent team. I...

Kuzma with the Snell

I had to double check that, and it's actually only 23.5....so my bad. Anyways, the thing I found most interesting about Harper w/o Ace is that while his usage goes up (as you would expect), his efficiency remains high and this is despite not shooting the 3 ball great. When the sample size is...

Those are things that I would find to be the same whether they are on the court solo or duo. Like I'm not that interested in seeing if Ace blocks more shots with Harper or on the court or not, doesn't seem that relevant to me. But feel free to look up or post the numbers if you do find it relevant.

Kanter, Favors, Hayward, and Burke all gone.....but Alec Burks is starting for a playoff team. The core4 lives on.

Ace + Harper Harper USG - 28.4 eFG% - 54.0 AST% - 26.8 3Pr - 37.2 3FG% - 34.8 Ace USG - 23.8 eFG% - 52.9 AST% - 8.3 3Pr - 30.1 3FG% - 36.8 Ace Only USG - 33.1 eFG% - 48.4 AST% - 6.9 3Pr - 32.2 3FG% - 30.6 Harper Only USG - 32.9 eFG% - 55.9 AST% - 39.4 3Pr - 38.6 3FG% - 28.2

Tbh, I actually think the actual decision is pretty clear at every pick except for #4. Ainge is gonna take Ace at #3 no doubt, and I think he would take the remaining blue chip at #5. We will all have our own opinions of course, but that is what I would expect from Ainge.

I wish I could block all "height talk". 99% of the time people are being disingenuous when they pretend to agonize over this stuff like it means something.

A player's height is whatever makes your argument better, that is the only official height. If you are making the point that a player is tall, you compare his height in shoes against players without shoes. If you're making the point that a player is small, compare his without shoes height...

My enthusiasm for drafting Ace would be come down to his willingness to change. He's kind of like the Deandre Ayton of wing scorers. Everything he does is tilted towards finding his mid range jumper. Ayton could decide to be an all star by playing in a more optimal way, but time and time again...

I get what you're saying. For me this is apparent when comparing VJ and Tre. I think you could make the argument that Tre's better within his archetype and the very top of his archetype is higher than that of VJ.....but I like VJ's archetype so much more. If you go down the list of players...

Definitely agree with this. I don't think we should expect any of Tre, Kas, Kon, or Fears to be good defenders....but Tre is the worst in my opinion. The others lack physical ability to be good defenders at the NBA level, but they at least put in more effort (Kas and Kon in particular).

Nah Kas is definitely an option at #5 if you’re not convinced by Tre/VJ/Ace.

Yes, defense always matters. He’s not undersized at all for the 4 where I think he can be a great defender. Obviously he will have to make the offense work somehow, but if he can improve his shooting and/or play next to a stretch 5 I think he’ll be great. In relation to Queen, he is like 10x the...

I've talked about him. I think he's underrated here, especially in relation to Queen. Offensive issues are obvious, but he might be the second best defender in this draft.

What would increase Jazz chances of winning the title in the next 30 years, Cooper Flagg or moving to the East?

I tend to agree. De Larrea's production warrant's attention, but the film on Kas >>>>. I do wonder how things might be if Kas's highs and lows came at a different time of the season. He started out hot, but then really fell off after returning from injury. I would be concerned if it was just a...

I said as much in my post, you're not telling me anything new. The point is, shooting is a highly variable thing and it's one of the hardest things to predict. I believe Johnson is going to be a good shooter which is literally the first sentence in the post you're responding to. I also know that...

Sergio de la Rea's production at ACB and Eurocup level is hard to ignore. Wayyyy more productive than Hugo and Sarr.
