So I'm curious what everyone thinks the best development path for Taylor Hendricks is. Would he develop better getting 25 - 30 minutes a night in the G league working on self creation and iso or getting 7 -10 minutes a night in the NBA with NBA coaching and training facilities. He's probably...

That's a little tough. On the surface I want to say yes but Whitmore and Walker are my two favorite picks from that group but they both play the 3 and 4. With Lauri on the team you don't need both. So I think the best fit would be Jarace Walker and Amen Thompson. But you would really be banking...

Great post! Absolutely agree

I definitely wouldn't waste resources drafting a point guard. Resources should be used to find and develop wings and forwards with point guard skills. I think who is currently on the roster is fine. If THT continues to develop and becomes a better shooter who isn't so erratic were good. Sexton...

If the Jazz take GG and he busts I will gladly admit to being wrong. I won't flame management for taking the risk. If Anthony Black's shooting does develop he has high potential but I'm very hesitant he actually will get better shooting the ball. Maybe that's me being skeptical because Dante...

Ok but who are you taking at 9 then? Let's assume none of the projected top 8 drop to 9. Do you think Anthony Black or Cason Wallace have more potential than GG Jackson? I understand GG has his flaws. I don't think anyone is really disputing that. But who are you taking there that has more...

Dude GG Jackson is 6'9 215 pounds. He can self create and score at all 3 levels. Yes his defense currently is not great but with his body type and size he has potential to be a great defender if he puts in the work. Is he a polished finished product? Absolutely not. But guys with his size and...

I agree. The more I think about it, there's really no other prospect outside of the top 8 that has more potential than GG. If he's there at 9 the Jazz should be running to the podium to take him. I would much rather risk the high potential of GG (including his bust potential) than take Grady...

Yup! But unless you have a time machine that option is no longer available

So what's your plan for the all the draft picks? How about you lay your plan out. What picks are you using to draft players what picks are you trading and for what? You want to keep this year's picks right? Through out some names of guys your taking and let's see your roster construction

I bet when you go to wendover your the person who only bets $5 a hand and gets scared to double down when you have a hard 10 or 11 and the dealer is showing a bust card. And Kawhi Leonard and Jimmy Butler were drafted 15th and 30th back in 2011. I believe back when wing players were considered...

This exactly why I'm a proponent of trading up in the draft. I get that it stings to package a bunch of picks. As fans we like to believe that all those future picks will be high value and turn into great assets. But we have such an excess we actually can't roster all those picks. And the 2027...

No risk it no biscuit

It's really a net loss of 4 picks because your getting back the number 2 pick which you will use on Brandon Miller. Also I tried to use most of the picks that probably have the lesser value out of all the assets minus the sixers pick which doesn't have much value at all. Regardless I do agree...

Let's just say Brandon Miller is the next Kawhi Leonard. To guarantee you get him your going to need the number 2 pick. Would the 9th and 16th this year plus the Cavs 2025, Wolves 2025 and Lakers 2027 be enough to move up? Would that be too much? Maybe. It's definitely a tough pill to swallow...

100% agree! I think Cam Whitmore and Brandon Miller will be the next big time wing players in this league. I wonder what it would cost to trade up for either of them. Depending on price this actually might be the way to go rather than trading for a star because these guys will be on a rookie...

I concede to you that those things do need improvement from Hendricks. Which is why I go back and forth between him and Cam Whitmore. But I don't think Hendricks needs to be a one on one iso player to be great in this league. I think the size and positional advantages the Jazz would have with...

I absolutely would

I do agree with you on midget Scoot Henderson. I'm not taking a midget pg who can't shoot even if he looks the part. I actually think he might have the biggest drop of anyone projected in the top 10. Outside of Wemby and Brandon Miller who is certain to go ahead of Hendricks? Cam Whitmore...

Nope! But I do know what NBA GMs want and desire and I believe Taylor Hendricks offers what their looking for. This may be another hot take but I think the point guard position is going the way of the running back position in the NFL. Teams don't value it much anymore. It's all about size and...
