I'd rather trade back than trade away next years 1st tbh.

If Atlanta has someone they like I think they’d do 30 and 34 for 21 not sure I’d do it... depends on what is left.
 
Whoever we take I'll be good with. Even if I'm not a fan of them as a prospect. I trust DL and our scouts.

If we take Shake Milton at 21 I'm going to be very depressed.

What's not to like about Milton? Productive scorer, good assist numbers, good size, elite length, excellent shooting numbers all three years at SMU, 60% TS last year, 43% from 3, good defender. Seems like the perfect player in today's league.

I mean i get if you don't love him, but i don't see what there is to flat dislike.
 
If you look at excellent 3pt shooting on high attempts over a three year period, Milton has very few peers in this draft. Probably have to consider him one of the top 5 shooters in the draft.

43% as a frosh on 4 attempts
42% as a soph on 5 attempts
43% as a senior on 6 attempts

85% FT shooter as a senior too.

Those are big time shooting numbers.

I agree. Philly and Atlanta are right there.

Maybe trade #21 and 2nd rounders for #26 and Philly's 2019 lottery protected pick (they have Sacramento's pick already).

Then trade #26 to Atlanta for #30 and #34.

Then hope that 2 of Okobo, Huerter, Diop, Okogie, Robinson, or Donte D are there.

The projections will probably change some after today and we know who is staying and who is going back to school. I just wish that Europe had the same deadline

He has a hard time getting by people. He lacks change of speed and doesn't have much burst. If he did have these things, he'd be great.
 
If the Jazz stay at #21, and I think it's iffy that they do, I think the discussion will come down to Troy Brown, Kevin Huerter and Keita Bates-Diop, with Elie Okobo and Anfernee Simons being wildcards. It will be interesting to see what happens if Zhaire Smith falls into the Jazz's range.

I think the Jazz should try to get another pick at the end of the first or early 2nd round to draft Melvin Frazier, Josh Okogie, Jerome Robinson or Isaac Bonga.
