I think Trey Murphy is going to be gone by the early or mid-20s. He's pretty much the Robert Covington archetype that teams really want.

That he's 100% not going to be available at 30.
Yep, looking more likely to go teens than drop to 30.
I will accept and lament that.
Jazz need to figure out if Marcus Bagley is going to be good. I can't tell. He's got great measurables and natural talent. I'm just not seeing the competitive fire to really put those tools to use.
Note, Boucher went undrafted and spent his rookie season on a 2-way with GS before getting waived and going to Toronto.
Next year maybe. He's returning to college.
Looks like Terence Shannon is withdrawing as well.

Tony Jones said that’s the guy he’d target… so you have some support there.
Ive just accepted the fact that 75% of the time we will take the guy I hate.
Yeah outside of a few occasions that’s the typical outcome.
Trying to really get hyped on other dudes in that range but not seeing a lot. Weiskamp (did I spell that right?) is ok but his ceiling is super low.
This won’t be popular but I really like the upside of Brandon Boston.
I'm doing a few draft projections. I think that at least one of Roko, Ayo or Vrenz will be available at #30. If guys like Josh Primo and Bones Hyland are breaking into the 1st round, it shakes up the 20s of the draft. Miles McBride could get in the 1st round also.
Look for Roko, Ayo, Vrenz, Josh Christopher and Greg Brown to all be available at least into the mid-20s.
Also, the Jazz are going to get calls on the #30 pick from teams that want Neemias Queta, Day-Ron Sharpe, Christopher, Charles Bassey, Quentin Grimes, etc., imo.

I watched one highlight video... the announcer proclaimed "the Power of Thor" after he blocked a shot or something. I think it was Ian Eagle... it was great. I want him just for the puns. Not even Bolerjack can ruin that... well... I guess he could say Thorability or something stupid like that.
My draft dream would be to trade down with okc for 34 and 36 if Thor is t available at 30. Then hopefully you can get two of Wieskamp/Christopher/Roko/Grimes/Vrenz/McBride

Depending on what’s there at 30, I could totally see us trading out of that pick.
And if we’re going to draft some Euro, I hope we do trade out of it.
I would concur. Outside of Thor there isn’t a lot I want to guarantee 4 years for.
I’d much rather have 2 early seconds if he’s not available.
I also wanted to swing big on McDaniels last year so I’m fully expecting to have Thor available and have us take Sharpe as our 4th string big.
I'd keep #30 and see if we can buy into the 2nd round. Pels, Thunder or Pistons should be willing to move off of one of their picks. That said, the Pels or Thunder might do the deal you're describing if they want to be sure to grab someone at #30.

That is my option #1.
If we can't buy into the 2nd round, Cy's idea of trading #30 for two later in the 30's is a good idea in my opinion. I would definitely target Herb Jones with one of the picks.

Yeah, he isnt a NBA player.
