I am still always shocked by how many years we draft one of the few guys we didnt bring in to a workout.
Its a weird phenomenon that leaves me scratching my head. Does this mean we are less likely to draft Sorber? Yang is our man?
Just a reminder of the value of a second tier star can bring.
Does Lauri for the 2nd pick straight up sound so crazy now? And if we had Harper and Bailey / VJ / Tre from the draft wouldn't that be exciting now?
My draft priorities:
- Trade up without overpaying for the #2. Lauri for the #2 for example. Most people feel like that isnt enough but getting an All Star for the #2 pick is fair trade value in most drafts especially with other draft considerations.
- If not then stay at 5 and pick the guy...
NIL money keeping guys in college feels like it is going to make 2025 - 2027 second round picks wait an extra year until they are ready. That lag will catchup in a year or two.
Trading 2025 second round picks for future second round picks sounds like an easy way to increase their value.
The locked on Jazz intl draft specialist guy raved about Hugo saying he was by far the best Euro player at the events he has seen.
Givony said something similar in a podcast raving about him knowing how to play due to his time in the REAL Madrid academy. Thats all I know about Hugo.
Enjoyed the podcast. Great production.
Trading Kessler and Maarkanen resets the timeline but we need to max it out in either case. If we cant get great value then I would prefer to lose other vets and rebuild Kessler and Lauri's value.
What I have learned from 479 pages of draft chat...
White athletes are not black athletes
Kon Knipples is a white athlete but nonetheless he is God and HH owns a shrine
Tre can shoot but he has no stocks or bonds
The Jazz will never win the lottery unless we gift our best player to the Lakers...
I got the gist of this from a Spurs forum. They are enamored with the idea of getting Durant.
The Suns want to win and get younger.
They jazz can take contracts so long as we move up in the draft.
Essentially this gets the Spurs Kevin Durant and Kon or Tre or Ace in exchange for...
I love this Pacers team. Fun to watch their fight and comrodery. They never give up. Good for them to be the first team to 2 wins. 2 more to go. Go Pacers!
Ace Bailey? I didnt get the context of the "true point" in the comments but everything else points to Ace.
Not highly touted going in to college. I remember listening to a podcast about Ace that described him as a touted, but not blue chip prospect.
Irrational confidence as a shooter? Ace...
Who pairs better with Walker and Collier? I see them both as part of our long term plans. Assuming Collier doesn't learn to shoot, then we need a shooter next to him.
Tre? VJ? Ace? Harper?
VJ is more of a 2 way player who can compliment a primary ball handler.
Tre spreads the floor...
