Feels like a no-brainer. Collins is not a long-term fit, Lauri could be, and we'd be selling low on Lauri right now.

Hell no. IMO a better chance at #1-5 >>> any moderate improvement in where we draft with the MInny pick.

Not sure if I should be excited about Flip's performance the other night, or if I think the Blazers were playing ASG-level defense.

I'm pro-Clayton as a prospect (obviously, as a CBB player, I am enamored). He's small and I doubt he measures well. So that's a huge knock / ceiling right off the bat. But his catch and shoot, shooting off the dribble, and absurdly quick release should translate. You also just have to love his...

This is interesting. If we're putting this into historical context (i.e., "physically dominant" in whatever that meant in their own time) it feels like it's Flagg, Larry, or Dirk.

Kon and Clayton showing out like nobody’s damn business. Meteoric stock rise.

Walter Clayton is a marvel. CBB fans better appreciate what we’re watching here.

I think if you draft him you are banking on him being wired right to learn to do at least some of those things. I personally lean positively on him. He is still so young, productive despite these limitations, and has a rare combination of size, length, athleticism, and shot-making ability (with...

The Rudy Gay - Ace Bailey comp doesn't sit well with me. The cloud that hangs over Rudy Gay's career (fair or not, I have no opinion) seems to be one of laziness, lack of drive, untapped potential, etc. I don't see that with Ace at all. His game is unrefined and lacks nuance but he is...

I'd do it. Whether it lands at #2 or #5 is a massive deal but I'd still probably do it.

AKA The Thrust Zone

I am sure the rare Cinderella run will still occur. Honestly, it got so common there for a stretch it may have lost its luster a tad. But it will be much more difficult in the NIL era. I imagine most of the guys who resemble past Cinderella heroes - Wally Szczerbiak, Steph Curry, Patty Mills...

Walter Clayton is a marvel. I’m not much of an “it” factor guy but holy crap. I think there’s zero chance he’s a 2RP. Assuming we go Flagg at #1 I’d fully support taking him with the Minny pick.

Clayton has that once every 10 years type clutch gene

Yes. I imagine it's a bigger piece of a much smaller pie (w/o football revenue), but a heft chunk of NIL $ will go way further in hoops than it will trying to build a two-deep football roster.

Oh yeah, he's definitely not. I'd like to keep him but would I include him in a trade for SGA or Jokic? Yes, lol.

1. Kessler is very good. Cornerstone piece if we keep him. 2. IMO, there are no other sacred cows on the roster

I do think it’s our year. Cooper Flagg was genetically engineered in a lab to be a Jazzman.

Ideally I’d prefer the #8 this year and the #1 next. But in any scenario - you want the #1. I’ll take Flagg all day over Peterson, Boozer, et al next year.

OT - I didn't see this until this morning. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Cv_Vv6YTAk The Hurley family is just something else. Their success is undeniable and I'm sure this streak is part of it but man. They are an insufferable bunch.
