2021 NBA Draft Preview (new thread)

[Coach Ellis]

I hope the Jazz bring in a couple of solid undrafted guys for their two summer league teams. Still want Vrenz badly. Think he’d be a great replace t for the minivan.

Probably 80% of this board will take credit along with you.

And that o ****ing kay.

If I was a fan of another team and saw what happened for the Jazz tonight I would be obsessing about it for months, or maybe even years.

It's nice to finally land one of these heists.

2013, 2017, 2021 (hopefully) -- hit homeruns once every four years and your're in business

Trendon Watford would also be a decent new minivan.

I made that post right before they traded back from #30 so I told myself I wouldn't make such a hopeful post again before the pick, haha.

Marcus Garrett as a UFA. Make it happen! Best defender and favorite player Bill Self has ever coached.

my UFA wishlist is Garrett, Schakel, and Alston, Jr,

Oh fish you missed a good one… let’s just say right now I’m laying naked in a pile of banana bread with @Hearsky ‘s mom and both of us got big smiles on our faces.

Lolololololol.
But whats the banana bread story?

He just agreed to two way with Blazers. And Handlotion's mom.

This is the best running joke on jazzfanz by far. Great way to slide it in with this post.

Handjob "accidentally" swallowed his ball gag. Now he's gonna see if the hamster likes banana bread.

Vecenie has him at 94 on his big board. Here's his scouting report.

Teague has some interesting traits. First and foremost, he plays a really tough brand of basketball. He has a strong frame at over 6-foot-3 with a 6-foot-10 wingspan, which allows him to guard up the lineup a bit more. The key here, though? Few players have better shooting results over the last five years. He hit 40.8 percent on over 700 career attempts, which ranks highly among this class. So why is he not ranked higher? Since breaking his wrist last year, he’s added a strange hitch to his jumper off the catch to get into rhythm, and it takes him a split second to get his body back into alignment after it. That’s time he won’t have in the NBA. He clearly has always had unbelievable touch as a shooter, hence his pre-Baylor numbers. But he desperately needs to rid himself of that weird hitch. It won’t work in the NBA because of how quickly shooters close out. Beyond that, Teague makes really good decisions with the ball. He’s not a great driver at the high-major level, and he’s not an amazing finisher. He doesn’t make insane reads. But if he can play off the threat of his shooting being as high level as it has potential to be, that’ll really open up a lot for him. Defensively, Teague does a really nice job. He’s tough and physical, and was often responsible for guarding fours at the college level in Baylor’s smaller lineups. But even against smaller players, he sticks in front and has no issue. I’d project him in a similar manner to how Immanuel Quickley looked due to his length. He’s tough, physical, smart and knows where he needs to be. He likely won’t be a huge plus on that end but won’t be a negative at all. If the shooting translates, he’s an interesting mix of shooting and defense that could work in a secondary role for a few years. But if not, he’ll be over in Europe making money.

edit: woahhh that hitch is funky!
