Jackpotting Around Podcast - Episode 36: NBA Mock Draft

[Elizah Huge]

@Handlogten's Heros and I grabbed some notable Jazz/Draft Twitter guys to hop on the podcast with us to do a mock draft.

Picks 1-30 talked about in depth. Speed round for the second round until we hit pick 43.

A lot of debate and a lot of different opinions on a ton of different draft prospects!

Over 2 hours straight of draft talk, links are below:

So they could come on and tell us how catastrophic it would be for us to give AJ Dybansta to OKC? lol

What? Are we trading him to OKC? Wouldn’t we have to get the first pick to have a chance at Dybansta?

Yes… and we’d keep the pick if that happened.

Got to the CMB part and it made me think, could a CMB/Flip big lineup work?

No, still has no rim protection

CMB can protect a little, but yeah, I'm not going to project him as good enough to make up for Flip.

He can't.

Kind of a shot on the dark just based on my experience looking at stats of draft prospects, but if you aren't above 8% block rate you don't have a shot at being a NBA level rim protector unless you have elite length to be a deterrent who doesn't actually block shots (like a Malauch)

Where do you find those advanced stats on college players?

Bball reference has block rates

I think if the Hornets can find a trade for Mark Williams, Malauch makes a ton of sense at 4.

Malauch has potential to be the best pure lob threat of all time, which would be a great fit with Ball.
