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

[Roy_McAvoy]

DJ and PK (not the most reliable source) saying that the Jazz like Fears and they might not be as high on Bailey as others.

They clearly really like him because Givony/Woo's mock on ESPN keeps having the Jazz take Fears, and it's the best most filled in mock out there. However, once push comes to shove I think logic will prevail and the Jazz won't draft an undersized Guard that can't shoot.

And that would explain why they have Ace lower despite Givony loving Ace Bailey....wait a second.

Im sure the Jazz FO is telling people exactly who they like and arent lying or trying to hide stuff at all.

I wouldn’t take too much stock in early mock drafts. Here is one from Givony at this same time last year.

The Jazz leaked that they wanted Cody Williams almost instantly last year and their infatuation with Keyonte George was pretty well known by a lot of people a week before the draft. Ainge leaks constantly.

Not sure if Givony knows right now what the Jazz want though.

Just seems like you are operating off confirmation bias and ignoring all the players we heard about the Jazz liking who they didnt draft.

aka you dont really know ****.

Another way of looking at this is that they correctly identified 12 of the top 14 in a historically flat draft.

The playoffs are showing the importance of the midrange. I think that gives Tre/Ace a leg up over VJ.

Right, but if you want to evaluate mock drafts, you have to wait several years. And when you do, you often see they weren't too good (except for the obvious cases at the top)..

This just isn’t true. Nobody was predicting Keyonte to the Jazz besides someone who had an in with Keyonte’s people. So it was them leaking it not the Jazz.

It was reported Cody Williams had a great workout with the Jazz but he wasn’t expected to last until 10 by most pundits.

Take me back to the days when Locke would actually tell us who we were drafting. Between Locke and Perrin we knew everything lol.

Role players should not take any midrange jumpers in the NBA.

 

[jom2003]

The difference between Ace/Tre/VJ and guys from the bottom half of the lottery is definitely way less than the difference between them and Harper/Cooper. Wouldn't be surprised to see us trade down and take a chance on guys like Fleming or Essengue, who has zero chance of falling to 21.

 

[framer]

Jazz are telegraphing Fears so when they take Kon we all say "Well, could have been worse!"

 

[HadAnEffectHere]

Kind of going in circles, but the stat gaps between the prospects at 5 are so massive that it's going to be interesting to see what direction the Jazz go in

Elite stats: VJ, Kon
Meh stats: Fears, Maluach
Bad stats: Tre, Ace

 

[SD Jazz]

No, Kon is top5 and he would be the greatest steal of the draft if he is not.

 

[fishonjazz]

There are six guys mentioned for this range: Tre, VJ, Ace, Maluach, Fears, and Kon.

Out of those six, I think Maluach would be a huge surprise, the other five would not.

Outside of those six, Demin and CMB are probably the only guys that could leap up here, but they would be pretty huge mistakes.

Good post. Though im not sure about the huge mistakes part.

That draft sucks/ed

Incorrect in the context of the discussion. Right after the draft we immediately can see if the mock draft was close to the actual draft. Which is what is being discussed currently (mock drafts predicting who gets drafted where)
