You would have taken Cody on draft night. Don’t blame @Ferguson_Mellochill . Own it. It’s just tough to take anyone serious that wants to come in thumping their chest when the “facts” are they’d have made the same mistake others did. Really doesn’t matter who said what.

I can thump my chest because I had them higher than consensus. I wasnt thumping I had them over Cody, I clearly pointed out I did not.

Didn't saint want us to take jhs over hendricks and now jhs is almost out of the league?

Cant bat 100%. Still better at this than most people IMO.

JHS has also had a ton of injuries, including back surgery. I would love to pick him up on a 2nd contract try.

Just funny how HH wants to discredit me having McCain/Knecht higher than consensus and higher than their draft position, but w/e.

i don't remember exactly, but my recollection is that i didn't like mccain much - which dumb, because i loved him as a prospect coming out of HS. if so, he's definitely my biggest miss this year. Sheppard also has a chance to make me look dumb - which is also strange because he was my favorite player all season last year - i called him the guard version of jokic - i don't know exactly why he's amazing, he just is and the team is always better when he's out there. then i let one game (the NCAA tournament game they lost against Oakland) change my opinion of who he could be in the NBA. jury is still out, just having a hard time getting minutes right now.

Im sure Reed will come around. There's some concerning things with him though. Still dont think he's had a single FT all season.

Ain't trying to discredit you. Just think its a fallacy to look at someone's entire draft board and be like "look how smart I am". You could have been the GM... had a great draft board... and still you would have made the same "mistake" the Jazz did cuz you had Williams higher. You only get one pick as a GM. Even if you made the mistake better because your board was more correct, you still muffed the pick... potentially.

I think you actually watch more than most and I do trust your eye. Everyone has hits and misses. And I know the thumping of the chest is just for funsies... me talking **** is also just for funsies.

Here you go - are you ready? I like and respect your draft positions! You are likely better at this than I am!










But also I'm still gonna give you garbage from time to time because its fun. Sorry in advance.

Yeah I think you were consistent with your hate.



I don't think its a failed pick at all. I think if we were re-drafting and making bets today I think several guys would slide obvi... I don't know that Cody would end up much further from where he was drafted though. We are like 15 games in. Its nice when guys pop off early but doesn't mean they suck if they don't. I'm going to try and be very patient with these guys.

FWIW I would have taken Devin Carter, not Cody, as he was the highest available player on my board when the Jazz drafted.

Same. I understood they went the way they did.
 
I can't remember for sure, but I think I would have taken Buzelis over Cody...It was close though, Ferg's propaganda also got to me but that was my own mistake lol. Buzelis has also been struggling a lot to score...but I think he's shown a lot more activity/is a much better athlete. Too early to tell if that would have been a better decision. It will be fun to look at Holland/Salaun/Cody/Buzelis.

Admittedly, neither Knecht or McCain was on my radar at #9. Didn't too much looking into McCain at all because he was always seen as between our picks.
 
I liked Carter better than Williams but also like Williams. I only liked Carter better because I liked his highlights. I wanted Castle most but knew he wouldn't be there.
