LOL. Of all these players and comparisons we discuss, Fox v. Ball, will probably always be my all-time favorite... Because it encompasses so much of the BS involved with these sorta stories...
I have a friend who's a lakers fan and I texted him the morning of that draft, "Today will live in infamy. You and all Lakers fans will roo the day the Lakers passed on De'Aaron Fox for Lonzo Ball."
Ya know what his response was that day;
"De'aaron Fox can't shoot!"
The detail about Magic Johnson wanting Fox over Ball is just the cherry on top too LOLOLOLOL.

Fair enough and keep up the good work! I love taking shots at the media they make for very easy targets.
With alot of these sports ppl paid to run their mouth --- I just wonder exactly how into it they really are when their off the clock. I smell ********.. Is Locke sitting there cramming in SEC basketball games all season long??
and Locke has worked in this area how long?? He saw most of Paul Millsap's time here right?? How could some pro sports pundit, who watched hundreds of Paul Millsap games debunk Grant Williams game so thoroughly before he steps in the league?? it just doesnt add up to me, i smell ********.
cuz what is their job really about? basketball? not really.. It's more about... presentation...
his job is more to sound coherent to fill airspace rather than make astute points.. Call it the; Screamin A Smith and Skip Bayless affect (those fools are the big fish! can u believe it?! I would offer up as proof, that this country is full of morons, that these media personalities could rise to such heights..)
and honestly Locke seems to me more the type of person who's probably doing plenty of overtime work but it's probably like kinda irrelevant stuff. I've heard plenty of what he has to say thru the echo's of this forum, and he just has no ground to make those claims botu Grant Williams at this point.

LMAO NBADRAFT HAS KAMBENGELE going 10th!!!
U will find nothing but spectacular bumps, way ahead of the consensus, from me on him back in the day... I was definitely posting about him as a RS Freshman...
I always told u guys I will be more accurate with the bigs and I was a huge Siakam fan, Capela, Rudy... this kid.Got quite a few hits on falling 1st rd bigs -- I'm really high on Harry Giles still too, he just needs to stop fouling. I believe in Skal still too, much more than Thon Maker at least.
PPL dont even remember this but when Kambengele first showed up they listed him at 6'9" and 250lbs.... AND at SF......) so I picked up onthis immedieatly, he was a canadian import, had lots of signs of a 'sleeper' overlooked to me... I posted bout him here tho and also FSU has been crushing expectations, i've been on the leonard hamilton FSU bandwagon for years, I've always said i like their recruiting strategy..
I didnt even know he was related to Moutoumbo til this season started and they said it on some broadcast..

I wouldn't be shocked if Kabengele ends up in the lottery. He's been doing well in workouts and interviews apparently.

Lakers problem wasn't passing on Fox for Ball but passing on Tatum for Ball. Tatum could of had Kobe around him all the time. Tatum had a good a rookie series over Lebron. Lebron, Tatum,Ingram,Kuzma is a Heck of a 4

Tony Jones is doing a Q&A on The Athletic right now. Here's some of the questions people had about the draft and offseason.
Q: Do you think the jazz will be able to get Keldon Johnson in for a workout? Do they like him?
A: They like him, and have been trying to get him in
I feel like Tobias number one option is Brooklyn and the jazz second do yo agree?
Agree. That's pretty accurate
In your opinion, who will be the most likely free agent acquisition this off-season?
The Jazz have the best chance at Tobias Harris
Do you like the jazz chances with D’Angelo Russell if he becomes an unrestricted free agent?
I think they have a chance. I don't think they would be favorites, but I think they would be one of the teams with a real shot at signing him
Has there been a player that stood out in the workouts? you know a wow workout
Carsen Edwards from Purdue has gotten some buzz for his workout
What do you hear on Dante? Will he be able to build his game this off-season?
Dante is working out and getting ready for next year. He's working towards being completely healthy for training camp
Have the jazz zeroed in on a couple of drafts prospects they really like or is it too early to tell?
Still a bit too early to tell. No. 23 is such a wildcard spot. Also, don't be shocked if the Jazz move the pick
Is Mike Connelly a realistic get for the Jazz? I feel like there was some buzz and now I'm not hearing anything now
It will be more difficult to match numbers than in February, but it's still a realistic trade possibility
Give us one or two names that you don't think anybody has been talking about, who might be a fit for the Jazz, whether free agents or trade scenarios.
Tevor Ariza. Great defender and shooter who could help the Jazz a ton
Do the Jazz see much value in the 53rd pick, or will they likely trade it for cash (as they have done in the past)?
Not sure if they like someone with 53. Hard to get a good player that deep
Who some guys the jazz could target with there second round pick if they keep it
53 is such a crapshoot that it's hard to pinpoint who will be there. Louis King, Weatherspoon, those are a few of the guys who may be available
If the jazz strick out on tobi kemba and russ. What is the next group of FA they will look at?
There are a bunch of contingency's in place, some of which will be dictated by the market. The Jazz are trying to find someone who truly helps. I don't think they are looking to spend money just to say they did.
Do you think Brian Bowen II would be a good second round target for the Jazz? They seem to like him. I think he could be a good developmental project for any team
Agree. I do, if he falls that far
Is you had to rank Tobias, Russell, Kemba, Conley from most realistic to non realistic how would you rank them?
They are all realistic. The Jazz have a decent shot at every one of them

On ESPN, Tony Jones is saying Carsen Edwards, Mfiondu Kabengele, Terence Davis worked out well for the Jazz. Ty Jerome as well.
No mention of the wings Okpala, Dylan Windler. Windler is doing a second workout for Boston.

Brooklyn is clearing cap space by dumping Crabbe + their #17 FRP to Atlanta. Brooklyn is confident they're getting Kyrie.

Yea they are building through the draft. A smart move when you are not a major market. The Hawks have an exciting young team. IF they add a defensive center and get some bench players they are going to be competitive in a couple of years.
