I think if you draft him you are banking on him being wired right to learn to do at least some of those things. I personally lean positively on him. He is still so young, productive despite these limitations, and has a rare combination of size, length, athleticism, and shot-making ability (with...

The Rudy Gay - Ace Bailey comp doesn't sit well with me. The cloud that hangs over Rudy Gay's career (fair or not, I have no opinion) seems to be one of laziness, lack of drive, untapped potential, etc. I don't see that with Ace at all. His game is unrefined and lacks nuance but he is...

I'd do it. Whether it lands at #2 or #5 is a massive deal but I'd still probably do it.

AKA The Thrust Zone

I am sure the rare Cinderella run will still occur. Honestly, it got so common there for a stretch it may have lost its luster a tad. But it will be much more difficult in the NIL era. I imagine most of the guys who resemble past Cinderella heroes - Wally Szczerbiak, Steph Curry, Patty Mills...

Walter Clayton is a marvel. I’m not much of an “it” factor guy but holy crap. I think there’s zero chance he’s a 2RP. Assuming we go Flagg at #1 I’d fully support taking him with the Minny pick.

Clayton has that once every 10 years type clutch gene

Yes. I imagine it's a bigger piece of a much smaller pie (w/o football revenue), but a heft chunk of NIL $ will go way further in hoops than it will trying to build a two-deep football roster.

Oh yeah, he's definitely not. I'd like to keep him but would I include him in a trade for SGA or Jokic? Yes, lol.

1. Kessler is very good. Cornerstone piece if we keep him. 2. IMO, there are no other sacred cows on the roster

I do think it’s our year. Cooper Flagg was genetically engineered in a lab to be a Jazzman.

Ideally I’d prefer the #8 this year and the #1 next. But in any scenario - you want the #1. I’ll take Flagg all day over Peterson, Boozer, et al next year.

OT - I didn't see this until this morning. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Cv_Vv6YTAk The Hurley family is just something else. Their success is undeniable and I'm sure this streak is part of it but man. They are an insufferable bunch.

No idea where I land on Derik Queen yet. His footwork, hands, and finishing ability (both hands) are remarkable. But he's old, the conditioning is a question mark (though he does play 30mpg and never really looks "tired" - that could be a lazy critique of just looking at his body) and he will...

He seems like the ultimate vibes guy

It means the higher seeds are winning. Auburn looks washed, the other #1’s look like buzz saws.

How Aday Mara didn’t see the floor more this year I’ll never understand. 1.6 BPG in 12.8 minutes and he’s got really nice touch around the restricted area. Have to imagine he transfers out or tests the pro waters in some capacity.

Vladislav Goldin showing very well today. He's been in college since the Bush administration so probably not a ton of untapped potential but there's a lot to like there.

Drake +7.5 feels pretty solid. Have to imagine that line moves.
