The Official Love/Hate draft thread

Love: Okobo, Frazier, Okogie
Like: Huerter, KBD, Brown
Ok w/: Donte, Musa, Mitch Robinson
Meh: everyone else
Hate: Allen, Holiday
 
Which site predicts the best? I know last season I looked into NBADRAFT.NET and their Jazz track record and it wasn't too pretty (admittedly, draft predictions outside the top-10 get tough to predict):

Starting in 1999, here's a list of the correct picks:

-Trey Lyles (2015)
-'Wenis' Kanter (2011)
-Deron Williams (2005)
-Aleksandar Pavlovic (2003)

Love: Trent Jr., Khyri (seeing how his coaches talk about Khyri and hearing him talk basketball give me the impression DL will fall in love with him as he has that Rudy/Mitchell work-ethic yet low-key nature)

Like: Shamet, Holiday

Relatively happy with: Allen, Spellman (I like him but think he could be had in the 2nd round), DiVincenzo, Bates-Diop, Wagner (another 2nd round trade-up target)

Meh: Huerter, Evans, Okobo, Hutchinson

Hate: Brunson (won't be able to defend)

If Khyri is gone at 21 I hope we can trade down for a later first and some 2nd round picks. I see several rotation guys from 31-40. I had mentioned a trade with Philly would be something to consider.

Because it's a more sensible composite ranking. Your ranking includes several mock drafts of people who have no idea what they're talking about and weights those as equally as guys like Jonathan Givony's mock.

For what it's worth my composite outperformed all other mocks last year EXCEPT Jonathan Givony's mock.

I didn't post in this one apparently... but when I opened I was like "I bet you I said I hated Brunson".

Yeah, I wasn't posting very much back then, and I really only have followed drafts closely where we had a top 10 pick.

I do think Jazzfanz gets a little bit of group think and we end up with a large number of posters that really like or don't like a specific prospect, and rarely are we right about those players.

Queen is the guy in this coming draft that I think is most being hated on by Jazzfanz that we could look back on as we were all wrong.
 
My most memorable take from this draft was Luka is clearly the #1 pick... mostly because I mocked my Kings fan friends and neighbors. I thought someone was literally going to fight me after their rookie years when I was at a fantasy draft. The guy was like "just wait... Luka is so overrated and Bagley is really good". I just couldn't let someone say that and bite my tongue. He got really heated when I lol'd him.

Look as big of dumbasses as we are... at least most of us wouldn't have passed up on Luka and traded Tyrese Haliburton when he was in house.

Being smarter than the Sacramento FO isn't something you should put on your resume, lol.

The funny thing is that I have a friend who does Analytics for the Kings, he's only worked there for a year or two though.
