Or we could create some propaganda videos, send them to teams with second round picks, and convince them that they should take our 52 and the rights to a guy who is "NBA ready" in exchange for their second rounder.



We could even advertise him as the poor man's Porzingis. Poorzingis!


Err, we still have the rights to Tomic?

Whoa, Robinson going 13. If Miles Bridges or Walker fall to the end of the lottery, I think we gotta get one of them, especially Miles.

One of the top 3 PGs is likely to drop to the end of the lottery, as certain teams really aren't looking for PGs. Likewise one of the wings -- Knox, Bridges, Bridges and Walker -- is likely to drop to 15.
 
Everyone thought Lyles had zero trade value and DL flipped him and 24 for 13. You never know how other teams feel about certain players.

I’m sure we could move up a couple spots using Bradley and 21.
 
I still don't completely understand the appeal of Troy Brown. He's not a good outside shooter. He's not efficient inside the arc either. He was an average defender in college. He's limited athletically. He has good playmaking skills but he's still raw and developing in that area. I don't think he's going to help the team that drafts him for 2, 3, maybe 4 years. He's a project. And IF he reaches his potential I think he's just a role player. If we want a guy who can be a good role player why not just take a guy like KBD? You basically know what you're going to get from him.

I really think that it's just people getting intrigued by an idea. They see an 18 year old with an NBA body and they imagine his future game being something completely different from what we've seen from him so far. If he was 20 the same interest wouldn't be there.

If the Jazz do take him and he proves me wrong I will happily eat crow though.
