Official 2023 draft night thread!

[Handlogten's Heros]

Zanik also said Sensabaugh was top 18 on their board.

So then.. number 18… cuz that’s weirdly specific

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Sensabaugh is a next level scorer. He could honestly be the best player of this bunch

There’s my guy

 

[The Thriller]

Sensabaugh is a next level scorer. He could honestly be the best player of this bunch

What if he becomes Bane? That would be incredible

 

[Bodhi]

Sensabaugh is a next level scorer. He could honestly be the best player of this bunch

Not complete player but the best scorer.

He’s a legit top 3-5 iso scorer in this draft

Tony said he was 18th lol. I don’t know why he didn’t just say that.

 

[Eminence]

Hendricks only being #9 on our board is actually a bit of a bummer, you can usually hope to get somebody a bit higher on your board than your actual pick #.

 

[HeatCheck]

I don't know that Keyonte is a PG. More of a scoring combo guard at this point.

Ofc Ainge had Marcus Smart running the team in Boston for years. Smart is obviously the much better defender while George is the better shooter when healthy.

I'll admit to being a little disappointed in the draft but in hindsight it was predictable. Some of us basically picked these guys in draft guess threads the past few days. I don't think any of these guys will necessarily bust so that's always a good thing.

It's an odd way of putting it for sure. Why not just say number 18 on our board?

Yeah Jazz basically admitting we got no star so they reached on offensive talent that can outperform expectations of it all hits

Ainge stuck true to his type. Highly HS ranked college scoring guard who is assertive

Can someone explain to me why the 7/8 trade happened and why Utah couldn't have beat that?

 

[prodigy]

Wish I could have been a fly on the wall for the Whitmore jazz workout. Just how bad was it.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Cuz we had the guys in a similar tier and they wanted walker not Hendricks

But 7/8 traded with each other, they didn't have it make any trades to get their guy respectively

Washington wanted to make sure we didn’t trade up for Bilal.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Washington wanted to make sure we didn’t trade up for Bilal.

Indiana knew wash wanted Bilal so they hoodwinked them.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Washington wanted to make sure we didn’t trade up for Bilal.

But it was two 2nd round picks. Utah could have trounced that?

No guarantee Jarace is there at 9 for Indiana by moving down one spot they’re guaranteed Jarace.

 

[Coach Ellis]

No guarantee Jarace is there at 9 for Indiana by moving down one spot they’re guaranteed Jarace.

Should’ve tried to trounce it and then just take Walker themselves.

Jazz get Walker
Washington gets Bilal
Packers get Hendricks and future draft capital

Oh well. It’s done. Now just hoping these three guys show out and play out if their minds for the Jazz.

Ainge and company probably thought the difference between Hendricks and Jarace/Bilal wasn’t worth the price to trade up.
