At this point Jazz are desperate and I would give this offer a try
Spurs said they would make moves to contend right away
Who should we pick at #5?
- Thread starter The Midnight
- Start date

I mean they just traded for a PG who needs the ball in his hands to be at his best. I kind of don't think Harper is a the greatest of fits for them... although, at the same time, I've always maintained that you can never have enough on-ball talent... so who knows? At least you have to try IMO.

If we give up Maarkanen, we shouldn't give up the 5th too. For me it would be Maarkanen (an all star) for thr 2nd pick and filler salary. If you have to give up another first it would be the 21st but I think there is almost more value in this draft at 21 than at 5 depending on who is there.
This Locked on Hornets guy said he’d rather have Tre over VJ at the #4 pick…
Maybe there’s a slight hope at VJ?

I'm not a huge Ace fan, but putting myself in to the shoes of a GM and it would be extremely hard for me to pass up on him at 3 or 4. If I'm a GM I would be watching his film and thinking that I could turn him in to a star with coaching, natural maturity, and devleopment.
VJ is more likely to fall to 5, in my opinion, but I think his measurements helped him a lot as he can pass for wing size, making his limited ball handling ability more palatable.

I think we should look at next years draft to determine the best #2/3 role option on the team moving forward and hope luck is better next season. A high scoring 6’6” SG doesn’t seem like a bad option. I’m just not so sure ace Bailey isn’t going to slide and tre not vj is there at 5
I voted for Kon. Although it doesn't seem he is the best upside swing... I think his floor is very high. I am going to add the link to his Tankathon page. His win share number is very high- and his ORTG versus DRTG it has the biggest positive difference in this draft- not counting Flagg. All his offensive numbers are crazy good and his DRTG is below 100. Maybe that is a function of playing alongside elite defenders- but I am also curious to see if he has another level of offensive upside with more usage and having deferred to 2 other high lottery pick teammates at Duke....
