Beringer just landed in the lotto.

These were the previously reported numbers, so good to see they are official. He probably goes 13th to the Hawks if they cant trade up for Malauch.

More interested to see Beringer's vertical.

Tony Jones went on Yossi Gozlan’s podcast just an hour ago.

Things of note:

- The Jazz would trade Lauri Markkanen and Walker Kessler for the right offer. Nobody is untouchable.

- Doesn’t see Utah moving up to 3 just because it’s the same tier as pick 5.

- The Jazz could get a haul from the Lakers for Walker Kessler so doing that coupled with drafting Khaman Maluach would be interesting. (speculation not reporting)

- Best case scenario is one of VJ Edgecombe or Tre Johnson being available 5.

- Utah would likely choose between Ace Bailey, Khaman Maluach, Jeremiah Fears or Kon Knueppel at 5 if both VJ and Tre were gone.

- Jazz are expecting to bring in Ace Bailey, VJ Edgecombe, Khaman Maluach, and Kon Knueppel in for workouts before the draft.

I like most of that. Good news.
Btw I was out camping for a while when all the Austin Ainge stuff surfaced. I thought I saw something about how we are not going to tank. That is BS right? Jazz going big game hunting and trying to sneak into the playoffs for a first round sweep?

Hugo bigger than I thought. Damn near 6'8 in shoes.

 

[fishonjazz]

like the back to back dunk contest champion is white? ppl are on crack it's a bad look. wake up y'all it's 2025

There are definitely exceptions to everything. I dont think anyone would/is saying that every black man is more athletic than every white man. Or that there are no white men that are athletic. That mac maclung dude can fly. I wonder if white dudes have typically won the dunk contest throughout nba history or its more of an exception? But it does seem that when it comes to sports that are heavily focused on speed and jumping ability in the US (not sure about other countries) that black men dominate them despite there being way less black men than white men playing those sports. Also like was mentioned earlier, not a lot of non black dudes winning gold medals in the 100 meters

Hugo actually measures pretty closely to the rumored measurments for Kuminga. He's been a longtime comp for Hugo, but I didnt really buy it because I thought Hugo was more like 6'6 in shoes w/ a 6'7 wingspan or something.

people are sleeping on hugo. though it's sorta his own fault.

he should have played college ball. would have had a better season than Demin and would be a lottery lock.

He's the same size as Willie Cauley-Stein entering the draft. And he's 18.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

Chet Holmgren, that was easy.

Not really imo. Chet’s game is much more sophisticated

Could still be growing

Because he's white? Both are rim protecting shooters who have massive Wingspans, very athletic for their size, aren't great rebounders and can play the 4/5.

I love him. He's exactly what the Jazz need. High energy defense first with size. I will probably bump him up to the early 20s now that he has massive size

there are going to be some damn good players available at 21. i don't love this draft at the top, but 15-25 is loaded with talent.

Its all the more important to trade off some of the vets to get some picks within that range. Might be overloading on young guys but I am with you on really liking the guys 15-25.

But how is Hugo 6'7.5 in shoes, with a 6'11 wingspan but only a 8'5.5 reach? That's simply not possible. That's pretty legit PF size. I think it would at least be 8'8.

Fudged his standing reach.

Idk, I'm always just wary of measurement errors. Always seems like strange numbers come out of the euro combines.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Feels like Jase Richardson is going to drop in this draft

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Hugo is about the same height and weight as Tari Eason. Eason has +3" inches more in wingspan.
