Flagg, Harper, VJ and Tre are off the board.. who should we pick?

Thoughts?

To me it’s the worst case scenario (and the most likely one).

Ace - questionable drive

Kon - limited ceiling

Kaman - questionable star potential

Fears - Colin Sexton 2.0

Still gotta take a swing at Ace imo…

Not often you get that chance at a potential star.

 

[Basketball Novice]

The pick has to be Fears or Kon. If Kessler is traded, Maluach is interesting.

Kessler can be traded after.. he’s very much sought after.

It’s not a reason not to pick him.

It should be Ace
If he is as good as he claims he can become the Alpha dog with Jazz
He may not get that chance with other teams

Watched some of the Olympic stuff where he was hitting jumpers. If he can be an actual shooter in the mid range and 3 along with everything else he brings.... The FT% also points to him being able to add the shooting as well. He has such a great mix of physical tools and potential. Would rather take a chance on Maluach than Ace, 100 times out of 100.

Kon or Fears.

I'm really souring on Ace—but I understand the argument that he should be selected in this scenario.

 

[Basketball Novice]

Could you do some insano, Maluach/Kessler front court pair if Maluach develops the shooting? I think Maluach's movement skills might be good enough for it. It would be a completely new position for him but having an absurd twin towers lineup like that would be unique in the NBA. Just spit balling ideas.

Fears! Or Bailey...

 

[cctrackstar]

supposedly Maluach has similar mesurables to Wembanyama so the allure is there. however seeing as there is more to baksetball than just height (which you still can't teach) i lean toaward Konupule.

I don't really understand why Sexton is the most underrated player in the league. Above average efficiency (TS%), great locker room guy, plays hard. He's the perfect off the bench scorer all contenders need. I don't get it

Cos he doesn't play winning basketball.

Hopefully the FO is looking at this poll…

i.e., we want no part of Kon.

Above average efficiency isn't winning bball? Put him on the Knicks or Pacers or Nuggets the last few months for playoff Bball and the narrative on him would change.

Kon is like Hayward. Folks on this site were so upset when the Jazz drafted him... and then were equally upset at him leaving. "How could he do it to us after all this love we showered on him?"

Hayward was the 9th pick.. we’re picking 5th now.

I wouldnt have minded Kon at 9th pick whatsoevah.
