Would have to be both for me.

Could be in Ryan's case too. It would explain the black and yellow crimes against humanity.

It happened but I can't find the full video. Here's a clip:

I saw one for Cody during the Jazz draft coverage when they called him with questions..

Haven’t seen one with Collier though.

We are getting unanimously positive grades on draft day #1. Frankly, it's hard to disagree.

I would have Cody Williams squarely in the top 5 (behind Risacher/Sarr, squarely in the next cluster) and I still cannot fathom Collier being on the board at #29.

Still hate this draft and can't peg a single dude in this draft as a star. But in terms of expected value relative to where we picked, this is a phenomenal result.

I don’t get why the NBA doesn’t make these readily available.

CBS Sports predicts the Jazz selecting Bona in the second round. I would love that.

This dude is tantalizing... how is he not projected higher?

lol at using the term "serious talks" when discussing the 32nd pick in the draft where they would probably give the jazz two or three future seconds to get it.

That would be super disappointing with how much talent is on the board. For me it has to be a deal built around a future 1st rd swap to consider it.

Damn, totally forgot about him.

Good question.

Vecenie thought Utah was drafting Filipowski at 29, so got to assume it's Flip at 32 unless Toronto grabs him (very likely)

Locke talked about Filipowski today as if he's a target at 32 too.

18 years old, uber athletic big man, who blocks shots can switch and defend in space and shoots almost 40% from 3? like... wtf

Upside pick but would get killed currently in an NBA game. Needs help to grow but his growth potential is very high. Also he could get taller since he is so young. That shooting and rim defense

Sounds a bit like why we didn’t pick Giannis..

Those stats arent real lmao. He's also not uber athletic. He's a worse athlete than Bona. He's worse at everything than Bona.
