Spoiler: players

Holland
GG Jackson
Matas

so Holland scored the most points, equal rebounds, more assists and more stocks and was the most efficient relative to one of the best rookies from last year and a guy who looks like a future star and another potential top 10 pick. i'm as convinced as ever the jazz should not pass on him at 10

Honestly, the 2 highest rated players that I do not want the Jazz to take are Matas and Topic.

I am really starting to like Devin Carter a lot. He’s very rapidly moving up on my personal big board.

I think Memphis might take him and trade Marcus Smartm (if they can't get Clingan).

If I were Topic, I would have strongly considered withdrawing from this draft. He could come back next year 19 y.o., healthy and having proven himself at a higher level.

He's in danger of really dropping this year.

He could also look like **** and not be a first rounder ever again. I know you're old enough to remember what happened to Roko

I don't think he drops out of the lottery though. With next year's draft being more top heavy I think he probably made the right decision. Go to a team that will be patient with him this year while making more money.

there is also the possibility he just isn't that good and staying longer exposes him.

Roko was a late 1st-round talent. Topic should be a high lottery guy. Obviously the decision depends on the feedback his camp is getting.

He's good and he knows it. He should bet on himself.

but he didn't bet on himself in spite of the fact that he seems to be free falling. that might tell you something about his self confidence.

Many had him projected Lotto in 2021 through points of the process before he withdrew then he suffered a lot of injuries and never looked as promising again. You'd have to be a imbecile to not enter the draft if you think you are a first rounder WHILE YOU HAVE A TORN ACL

 

[mhindy]

Even if you really believe in yourself turning down life-changing money hoping to get more just seems like a stupid move.

I'd also still be happy with topic at ten.

Maybe I missed it, but haven't seen these highlighted here. Somewhat interesting, even though some of the guests are more homers than others:

And for the Walker Kessler comparison:

He’s good but could come back not as good due to the injury. Some athletes need time after an acl injury, plus, next year is supposed to be much stronger I guess
