New Spinella mock. Has the Jazz taking Cason Wallace. However, Jarace Walker is still available at 9 in his mock. Anthony Black goes to Washington at 8. Walker to Dallas at 10.

If Blazers move #3 my guess is its for a guy like Pascal or OG and number #13. If Miller is there I think they just take him and roll forward. Its pretty clear Dame ain't wanna leave and they don't want to trade him. I don't think Dame would love the look of drafting Scoot but who knows.

I'm curious how the Hornet eff this up... cuz they will.

Dame would match really well with Amen.

Dame would match really well with Amen.

Amen isn't a "win now" player though. I love his potential but he was basically playing in a glorified rec league last year.

One of the main issues with him was his lack of size.

No it wasnt

Tell me the rec league that has multiple 7'ers and top 50 recruits

Teams are going to look at GG starting in our range.

Man he is perfect from a size standpoint to what i want the jazz to draft. looks so big in those highlights yet moves so well.

Ehh… Amen is going to need the ball in his hands. It’s not just a spacing issue.

By this time next year, he should be 6'9" / 220 lbs with a 7' wingspan and 38" vert. Mocks are starting to show him going to OKC at 12 or TOR at 13. I think he's going to rise in workouts. He measured well, and he's been shooting well in drills. He needs to interview well enough to assuage the maturity concerns.

Tell me what NBA player was ever drafted from this league?

BTW, the Dallas pick at 10 is very likely to go on the market. I think the Jazz should look to acquire it. Take Wallace, Bufkin or Dick.

I’m liking Cason Wallace more and more. If we go guard with 1st pick I personally would prefer him to Black.

That would be great but Mavs are likely another team likely looking for "win now" players to put next to Luka.

Personal top 10 Jazz big board:

Wemby
Scoot
Miller
Amen
Cam
Ausar
Hendricks
Black
Walker
Cason

That Mavs pick is definitely appealing, landing any two of these guys would be nice. Not uninterested in a move up either, for one of those top 6/7 guys.

At #16 if any of Dick, Hawkins, GG, Bufkin, Keyonte are available, that'd be a great pick.

Dominik Barlowe is on a 2-way deal with the Spurs. He averaged 16-8-2-2-1 in the G-League this season.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Amen is going to take a while and Dame's timeline is now. I think Miller is the best blend of a guy with potential and can play on the court right now. So I'm guessing they hope he is there. Scoot is more NBA ready than Amen imo... but Dame would likely prefer a win now guy to all of them.

I think this is really close to mine. If Dallas is on the clock and Walker or Hendricks are available that is an easy pick for them. So the play would be to clean up whatever wing is left Walker/Ausar/Hendricks and then make the trade with Dallas. The issue is that if neither Black or Wallace go top 8 then those two are the ones left. So you take whatever one you like and then go wing at 16... Leonard Miller is the guy I'd pray is there... but there are others that are good bets. If that scenario happens I'm not paying a ton to move up to 10.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

With regard to Dallas... they'd prefer a win now player but they also may be interested in moving down to 16 for cap flexibility (we can offer that) or future firsts (we have a few of those). There may not be a great deal lined up for 10 so you send 16 and one of the firsts we own and they can add a player, see what FA brings, and then move the future first for a win now deal.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

That would be great but Mavs are likely another team likely looking for "win now" players to put next to Luka.

I'm trying to think what they can get with #10 tbh. Do the Knicks unload Julius Randle? Would Atlanta move John Collins for #10 and take GG to replace him? The Mavs need defense more than anything.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

If I were Dallas, I'd ask the Jazz about Ochai. Jazz probably wouldn't do it though.

Yeah but what would we give up and what would Dallas want from us?
