Do you think our FO has Ace, Tre and VJ ranked 3-5?

I could see the Jazz trading down to 9 to pick Egor, but hopefully they don't.

I have a lot of concerns about all the guys in this range, but Fears does have a lot of upside and maybe Ace does turn into MPJ who is a perfectly fine starting SF. Kon has an outside (like, very outside) shot of being Devin Booker and probably will be like a perfectly fine starting SG if he can defend in the NBA.

And Tre is just really good so hopefully he's the pick. VJ would also be a fine starting SG though none of these guys are super exciting other than Tre. But... Egor is two steps below them.

Could maybe see multiple trade downs like

Jazz get: 6, two seconds
Wizards get: 5

Followed by

Jazz get: 9, top 7 protected Raptors 2026 first
Raptors get: 6

I would die a little on the inside if we leave draft night with Malauch but could be open to flipping Kessler at the right price.

Though I think the "right price" is multiple FRPs, not Dalton Knecht.

Well yeah we could ask for FRP as well
