    Utah Jazz Select Walter Clayton Jr, Pick 18 (Trade)

    I already kinda knew it before but watching all of WCJ's stuff, This guy is an absurdly good shooter.

    Utah Jazz Select John Tonje, Pick 53

    Does Tonje make the roster? Does he have a chance to earn minutes ahead of any of the other young guards on the roster?

    Game Thread 2025 NBA Draft - June 25th & 26th, 2025 - 6PM MT

    To be fair, I don't think they had footage of Taelon Peter. That guy isn't even registered on the official NBA site.

    Game Thread 2025 NBA Draft - June 25th & 26th, 2025 - 6PM MT

    I thought this bit was funny from Hollinger: The Suns continue to win at unloading any tradable asset they get their hands on within seconds of it coming into their possession. They got five seconds in the Kevin Durant trade, and have traded all five of them to turn the 52nd pick into picks 31...

    The Suns just can't help themselves. I don't think more trades will help their situation.

    Utah Jazz Select Ace Bailey, Pick 5

    Some people do mix those things. It's not the smart move but it happens. I don't blame Ace for not being jaded at 18 when it comes to how people can take advantage of him.

    Utah Jazz Select Ace Bailey, Pick 5

    Thats the info I got off a quick google search. It did seem weird to me, if someone else could confirm how exactly draft rights work?

    Utah Jazz Select Ace Bailey, Pick 5

    It's a bad thing but maybe not a bad thing. If yall don't mind me psychoanalyzing a bit: His agent is just dumb but Ace himself hired the guy because he knows him and is a family friend (I think? I need to look into it more). That tells me that Ace values personal relationships and is a loyal...

    Utah Jazz Select Ace Bailey, Pick 5

    This is interesting! Let's see how far this agent wants to go with this, because Ace is lock in with us unless he wants to sit out a year and try the next draft.

    I like the lineup for the most part (shooting and defense as you said) but your putting alot of faith in Bailey being the 2nd creator in that lineup. I suppose it's a bit of a "deep-end" approach but I don't think I can argue against it.

    Utah Jazz Select Ace Bailey, Pick 5

    I don't think anyone will disagree that Ace's shot distribution needs to be adjusted to allow him to score more efficient buckets but on the other hand, I do not want to rip out the midrange part of his game. I believe that is swinging too far in the other direction. I think we agree for the...

    Utah Jazz Select Ace Bailey, Pick 5

    Loving the midrange isn't necessarily a bad thing, he is great at shooting midrange shots. While it's not the most efficient shot, the midrange is great to have in the playoffs, where getting buckets is tougher and defenses are tighter. Ace is one of the few guys who can be an elite midrange guy...

    Jackpotting Around Draft Recap

    Each of those players individually have interesting upside as on ball guys (except Powell) but they don't complement each other or work together all that well. All these guys are at their best with the ball in their hands and heavily diminished without the ball. It's almost guaranteed that half...

    Jackpotting Around Draft Recap

    To be fair to them, it's pretty hard to trade those picks the day of. Every GM knows you want to move off of them and the offers were probably atrocious.

    Utah Jazz Select Walter Clayton Jr, Pick 18 (Trade)

    I agree. With small guards, it's not all about length, girth matters as well.

    Part of me doesn't want to fall into constantly trading up for guys but, there are some guys I really like still available.

    There is no way they would trade Kas for Sexton.

    Utah Jazz Select Walter Clayton Jr, Pick 18 (Trade)

    WCJ straight up played better than Kas to end the season. Better shooter who produced as the alpha on the best team in the country in high stakes, clutch moments.

    Utah Jazz Select Ace Bailey, Pick 5

    I am not overly worried. If he is bad at the rim, then the organization just needs to put in the effort to get him better with being physical/crafty enough to get to the rim. Insanely young player. And I think the best organizations can get the best out of guys like Ace. There is alot more to...

    I would say yes. I don't know if Barrett is a good defender or not but he could be a big 2. Would open some interesting lineups for us: Clayton or Collier/Barrett/Ace/Hendricks/Kessler on top of all the 1sts we would get.
