Following Potential 2025 Draftees

Chatter from Brian Windhorst:
** Speculates that NOLA may try to package #7 and #23 (recently acquired via trade) to move up into the top 5 or 6.
** Charlotte a team that may look to trade back from 4.
** Raptors have discussed moving #9 in potential trade scenarios involving more established players.

Anything that makes it more likely the Jazz get Yang or Riley I'm for
 
If there is a desire from both NOP/WAS (and whoever else) for Ace, just take him at #5 even if he's not your guy and start the bidding war. Don't be a Cedric Coward Ainge!
 
Not taking Andy Larsen's draft model too seriously, but it's kind of funny how much it absolutely despises Fears and views him as undraftable. Publishing a result saying Fears is the 72nd best player in the draft right before the Jazz pick him is going to cause some interesting articles.
 
I think the Jazz want VJ or Tre, and if those two are both gone at 5 that's when things start to get a bit messy. If that's really the case, and the Jazz aren't sold on Ace, then someone trading up to take Ace could be good for us.

There are a few parallels between Jeremiah Fears as a prospect and De'Aaron Fox at UK. Their counting stats are similar. Their strengths and weaknesses are somewhat similar. Advanced stats favor Fox. Fox was also the more highly touted HS prospect, though Fears reclassified so it means a bit less.

Fox was the #5 pick in 2017.

Definitely some parallels there. Fox was an absolute beast at the rim in college, but Fears has a much higher 3FG projection.
 
I know "stocks" is some hilarious inside joke, but for those of us not in on it.........steals?

Also, I beg you all to use "archetype" one more time each before draft day. Is that part of a drinking game?
Come on Bodhi, you are better than this
 
From Tony Jones today on Fears: "There's one member of the Jazz front office that really, really, really likes him"

(start at about 3:35)


See also the discussion at 18:55 on who will really determine the pick: ie, JZ, DA, AA. Sounds like there's some differences within the FO (not that that shouldn't be expected).
