Player falls to 18th in a whatever draft, projected as a career backup by NBA teams despite absurdly elite shooting because he's a bad passer and defender.
Has lengthy defensive lowlight reel.

But uhh, I guess pointing this out is...
Clayton was not an impressive passer or defender at all in college. He wasn't Jimmer tier, but he was Jimmer-esque at times in those areas. We'll see how much he improves in the NBA when he's no longer the primary option on offense.
Ace and Cody are nothing alike. Cody's entire appeal was that he was smart (he played PG in high school) and could dribble a bit and had a good finishing package. He was a terrible athlete and incredibly thin and had a broken jumpshot and could not defend at all due to how unathletic and weak he...
Cody was one of the absolute worst defenders in the league last year and was terrible defensively in college as well. The defensive improvement for the Jazz with Cody is that Cody is probably going to barely play this year.
Ace has tons of defensive upside, but is probably going to be bad...
The upside for the Jazz is that the league hates guards that don't defend or pass so much that the Jazz will be able to re-sign Brice and Keyonte for around the minimum.
The Jazz can probably extract a first from the Mavs to absorb Klay's contract at the deadline and if they do, this is a pretty fantastic deal after thinking about it.
Gotta make sure to rip off their awful owners though.
You can't trade for star picks in the NBA unless the team with the star pick dislikes the player.
Teams were willing to offer the Spurs everything for #2 and they laughed people off.
