Who should we pick at #5?

  • Derik Queen

  • Jeremiah Fears

  • Kasparas Jakucionis

  • Collin Murray-Boyles

  • Others

I think Ace, VJ and Tre are basically in the same tier. You take whomever is left among them.
Ace has the most upside, due to his length and shot taking, if not shot making, but he also carries the most risk.
VJ has a high ceiling, especially since his measurements came out favorably.
Tre is a safe pick. You can pencil him in for 23 - 25 PPG right now, and he'll complement whomever we bring in as our alpha advantage-creator next year.

There's a small chance that Tre can do some SGA stuff, but I'm not going there....

My pick is Maluach.

We need a skilled 5 in today’s NBA.

He finish dunks, blocks shots, hit 3s and make plays.

Basically a quadruple threat.

I think he has Embiid potential.

He could be the dark-horse diamond in the rough pick imo.

Yep. Plus once Trump deports he and his fellow South Sudanese brethren, we Jazz can continue feeling sorry for ourselves and really ratchet up the feelbads.

How long did it take for Jokic to become Jokic though?

To me you look at what he could do now and learn to develop.

Great size. A willing passer. Developing offense with good shooting mechanics. Decent defense.

Jokic was Jokic from the moment he got in the league. Yes, he improved his 3pt shooting. The problem with Maluach is that his reactions are a bit slow and his effort level waxes and wanes. There are also other very interesting bigs in this draft later on.

Is this a joke? Look I’m not an expert on the dude but I saw two of his games and he showed a very low skill level. Also where do you get that he’s a 3pt shooter from? He made 3 3’s and shot no 3’s in 25 games. Hes no where close to Embiid’s level of skill.

Well its like saying Giannis played in the Greece League .. its a joke of a League so don't draft him.

Giannis never developed a 3ball that video you posted literally said he had no catch and shoot upside. All that video showed was him doing a lot of rim running and putbacks. These comments you’ve made make me think you never watched him play other than Sudan team highlights.
 
I will lose my mind if Maluach is the pick at 5.

IMO we should give the Spurs whatever it takes to move up to 2. Their starting backcourt is set and Lauri + Wemby would be potent.

His 3 point shooting is in the middle part of the video.
