There's a decent chance neither Hendricks or Cody Williams produce even close to replacement level minutes at any point in their Jazz career and that's pretty bleak for back to back top 10 picks. I would imagine Cody gets his 4th year option declined and Hendricks doesn't get a QO after his...

I don't understand the point of the G-League for Hendricks. He needs to learn how to defend and no one defends in the G-League.

Danny to Austin if Fears ends up being a star.

If the Jazz get another non-star prospect this draft and then decide to try to win, this is going to be the most pointless 4 year tank of all time, lol. 2 massive busts and 2 non-stars just to be in the same place before all the tanking except having wasted four years of Lauri's career...

AJ comes off mostly like DeRozan. We'll see if he's less empty calories than DeRozan in the NBA.

I mean "better" is not saying a whole lot here, but the issue with Cody is that while his one-on-one defense is *fine,* he doesn't generate any turnovers or get rebounds or protect the rim. Cody has 8 rebounds, 3 steals, and 2 blocks... For the entire season. Obviously he has not played a lot...

fwiw, Tim MacMahon seems to think there's a huge gap between Kessler's camp and the Jazz and thinks there's a very real possibility the Jazz end up sign-and-trading Kessler in free agency. https://thejnotes.com/nba-reporter-gets-brutally-honest-walker-kessler-upcoming-restricted-free-agency

I do not think the Hornets want to trade for a 7'1" guy currently going through knee issues.

I do not think there's a worse fit than in Utah with our defense personnel and culture. Maybe Sacramento? But we're a team that should not be looking at LaMelo at all.

So like Should we try to make the play-in...? A 30 win team may get grab the 10 seed.

I'm thinking more of a traditional big man version of Amen Thompson. But the question is whether you can find a stretch 5 next to him.

I mean, McDyess in the modern era would have needed a stretch 5 who didn't roll as well.

Caleb Wilson obviously has elite athleticism and a very good BBIQ, but there just doesn't seem to be much of anything there skill-wise. Kind of has to be the rollman PF on a team with a stretch 5 that doesn't roll to the paint?

Nurkic is one of the 10 worst defenders in the NBA and is shooting 39% from the field.

I think the Jazz thought Keyonte was not good and wanted to replace him but now it's just really awkward. WCJ was also kind of a bizarre pick even at the time because he was a guy whose appeal was not his upside, but just that he was seemingly ready to go right away... And well, he's not, but...

Currently, the Nets, Pacers, Wizards, Kings, and Pelicans are five of the worst teams in NBA history. These five teams have point differentials that would rank in the bottom 14 in NBA history if maintained for a full season. The Pelicans will try to get better, but the Kings and Pacers may get...

The Jazz are giving up 125 points... per game. But the bottom five teams in the league are so bad that they're somehow worse than the Jazz on defense by a decent bit.

Carlos Boozer would obviously be a ball handler and three point shooter in this era.

Boozer is so funny because he plays exactly like how Carlos Boozer would play in 2025, lol. Very rarely see a player who exactly answers the question "how would this guy's father look in the modern era?"

Yeah, he has a calf strain and will be back in a couple weeks.
