Should trade up for Whitmore and Couliably in this scenario in the real draft.
nah, i think tony is wrong. i think the jazz would love to make a trade to move up for an unreasonable cost. unreasonable trades are the best. as a fan i just love when my team gets ripped off.
I’ve come around on him. Not sure he’s quite the athlete I want, but the size and length are intriguing. The shooting is good enough. The defense is solid. My favorite skill of his is still his decision making in the high pick and roll. He seems to have a high basketball IQ and a great feel for the game. Tbh - as long as we get a dynamic wing/forward from somewhere. . . I’d be happy with any of Black, JHS, Couliably, Wallace, Bufkin, Cissoko or George as another guard to throw into the mix. Let them compete and see how things go.
The Journey of Jalen Hood-Schifino
Jalen Hood-Schifino had his draft stock swing wildly up and down throughout his strange journey of a season, but his Green Room invite indicates that NBA teams are interested in his two-way skill set.www.noceilingsnba.com
JHS is going to be the dream playoff point guard. Switchable, intense defender who can guard 1-3 and probably play up to 4's and not get dump trucked on like Aaron Gordon was doing to certain Miami guards.
yep, it sounds nice to say - man, if there is a guy they like who won't be there at 9, they should go get him! that sounds good, but the reality is teams are wrong way too often. the chances the guy taken at 6 or 7 is better than the guy taken at 9 are are so slim - chances are damn near as good that 9 will be better than 7 and it simply isn't worth the cost. the cost/benefit in that scenario is just completely out of whack.
nope. there is no guarantee any of those dudes are better than guys like hendricks, wallace, george, hood schifino, coulibaly, hawkins, leonard miller, bufkin, etc. in fact chances are very good any two of the guys i mentioned could be better than any two of 5 mentioned above. the price is simply too high for the odds of getting better players.
Too much imo
OK, lets say despite your reservations... the Jazz do those trades... who do you want us to get out of those players?
That's a little tough. On the surface I want to say yes but Whitmore and Walker are my two favorite picks from that group but they both play the 3 and 4. With Lauri on the team you don't need both. So I think the best fit would be Jarace Walker and Amen Thompson. But you would really be banking on Amen developing a shot. That's a big question mark. If he doesn't, it also has the potential to really bog down the offense with Kessler.
Q1 - No. It’s too much to pay. Although, I’d be happy with trading to move up for Whitmore or Walker.
No. I would only want one of those players, I think they’re poor fits with one another. Also too steep. We also need homegrown talent at guard.
Jarace and JHS
