What's new

Who do you like the most as a realistic pick between 6-8?

I’m okay with that as a goal, but after all the stubbornness shown in order to tank I hope there’s some restraint in pursuing playoffs. I just hope we don’t make a bad move.
I think the good news is prices seem to have come down on some of these trades. Maybe not according to the Bane deal but still more reasonable.

Yeah….I'm kinda wondering how the value of a 5-8 pick may compare to a star. “Star” is ambiguous as it is, and especially when it comes to big money players. You already here some hesitation about Giannis from windy and co….what does that mean for a star a tier down?
 
I just realized that for several years the Jazz was absolutely obsessed with getting tall SFs that are good on defense. Besides Lauri, they got Agbaji, Fontecchio, Hendricks, Cody, THT, Toscano-Anderson, Ace... The amount of assets that they wasted in the pursuit of that coveted archetype was quite disproportionate compared to what they got.

But the Ainges are still doggedly searching for their new Tatum and Brown.

The Jazz like players with plus size/length who can shoot as a starting point. Hendricks is more of a 4. Williams is a 2/3. Some of these fringe guys like THT and JTA were throw-ins in a trade. Fontecchio was a free agent that didn't cost anything to sign. Most teams want athletic and versatile wings. That isn't unique to the Jazz.
 
What if the Jazz don't love their options at 6-8 and trade the pick for like Trey Murphy or someone like that? I could see a deal for a youngish vet impact player if they don't love how the board shapes up.
Actually, this is the way. Anything but a top 3/4 pick & the Jazz should absolutely just flip it + some of their other future picks + their available cap space and go get some great player. There will absolutely be sellers this offseason.

Domantas Sabonis is another one who just came to my mind.
 
With picks 6-8 there is a full bag to choose from

I really like quintance, Carr and Philon.

I still like avdalas, Steinbeck and Mullins.

If I would look at a flyer on a player Haugh, yessoufou, Toppin

Bennett stirtz is interesting

Ultimately, for me I want someone with crazy defense that can knock down the open shot. (Not sure many of the players on that list fit the bill) honestly Carr is probably the closest to what the Jazz need.

I would love to get an early second and get Tugler.

Funny because I saw a mock draft yesterday with the jazz taking a dude that you didn't even mention. Koa Peat
