I used an A.I. image generator and typed 'Utah Jazz winning the championship' and this photo came up. This must be a sign we're drafting Ace!

Nice to see the Jazz being so popular even the opponents are cheering for our championship.

I think the draft is likely to unfold:

1. Mavs - Flagg
2. Spurs - Harper
3. Sixers - Edgecombe
4. Hornets - Tre Johnson
5. Jazz - Bailey
6. Wizards - Fears

The pick that's most likely to move is Philly's.

If the sixers take Edgecombe, my money is on the Hornets trading back and for someone else to jump up and grab Bailey.

Honestly, my preference, assuming Flagg/Harper/VJ are gone, is Ace/Tre/Fears in that order, and not by much. I won't be upset with any of them and will hope that the Jazz scouting and coaching staff knows what they're doing.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a youtube channel to watch the draft on? Unfortunately I don’t have (legal) access to the actual broadcast.

I'm probably gonna watch through Sam Vecenie's youtube channel, Game Theory Podcast. He is a pretty down to earth analyst with some decent takes and connections.

Thanks very much! I’ll give that a go.

I'd love that to happen, but I'm afraid the Hornets may just take Tre Johnson and throw a party.

You misspelled Kon Knueppel

You misspelled Kon Knueppel

If Charlotte took Kon at #4 (not trading back), then I'd be the one throwing a party.

Just a note in passing: If you can talk yourself into drafting a 6'2" guard who shot 28% from 3pt, you can probably also talk yourself into a 6'9" guard who shot 27% from 3pt, averaged more assists and played at BYU.

A couple of reported promises:

Asa Newell at 13 to Atlanta
Walter Clayton Jr at 20 to Miami

Ghost of John Collins returns to ATL.

What the....

isn't Asa too similar to Onyeka?

Asa is more mobile and more skilled out on the floor than Onyeka. Think Precious Achiuwa, but a bit bigger.

Then we would have the choice between Ace and Tre, select Fears and this site would be taken down for another week.

That Egor court vision though. Wish we could have seen it this year with AJ. . .

 

[KqWIN]

I get fit concerns, but Asa was slept on around here. Could argue he was the best freshman in the SEC.

 

[KqWIN]

The ultimate Ainge terrorism draft would be trading for Brown and still somehow ending up with Demin. The Jazz are just Ryan’s friend meetup.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Well, the Jazz have succeeded in creating uncertainty.
