I think he's okay, not super special. Think Delon Wright with a jump shot. But I could see the Jazz taking him to play next to Mitchell. I go back and forth between him and Bolmaro as a fit for the Jazz. Usually I give the nod to Bolmaro.

I mean Delon Wright with a jump shot would be a hell of a lot more than okay... especially where we are picking... hell id take just Delon Wright.

Nah, dude. This kid did it clean and took two steps. Harden sometimes uses two steps and routinely uses four steps.

Why does it seem that the top NBA draft prospects always have the best names for top NBA draft picks?

This is a crazy list... Was just saying to someone yesterday that Killian Hayes isnt projected top-5 anywhere but I wouldnt be surprised if he ends up that high, and there he is at #4 in this...
HOW ABOUT Kira Lewis Jr IN THE LOTTERY DOE?!?
Paul Reed at #16... Jalen Smith at #19... Jaden McDaniels all the way down at #28?!
To me the real biggest surprise on this list is Desmond Bane in the 1st rd... That is just something I'm gonna need to see to believe...

Also how about Deni Avdija @15?!?!?
How do y'all feel bout the Jazz trading up for him if he free-falls?

Been following his story for I think it's gotta be like5 years.. He was always very highly ranked.. Always had the same sorta "i'm not really a fan" impression..
Though this latest season IMO was by-far his most impressive work, so I guess I'm kinda conflicted....
But really IMO at the Jazz spot in the draft, it's not a conflict at all, Maledon turns 19 in June and would be outstanding value..

Still one of the more bizarre preseason commonalities in mocks was Maledon over Killian Hayes, pretty sure there's some good bump material buried here with me debunking that fully way ahead of these mock adjustments..
If you really look back on my comments on Hayes from get-go, many summers back, theyve been pretty much spot on.. Been consistently saying lotto pick possibly top5.
**** honestly this 2020 draft I've been very accurate on so far... So many players sit at the top of the board who I pointed out way in advance...

Lots of people have talked about Killian Hayes top 5. Some like Kevin O'Connor at TheRinger have even said he's the best prospect.
Jaden McDaniels at 28 doesn't surprise me either. I mean he sucked. Bad.

All for Hayes going that high... Very cool. Always knew Left-handed players would take over the league.
If McDaniels sucked so bad, why are you unsurprised he's a projected 1st rd pick at-all?? I dont get it... I think "Sucked" is a low-brow explanation, he certainly had his moments. It seemed he was playing better as the season wore on too.
P.J. Carlesimo, to the Seattle Times on McDaniels;
“You know the funny thing is, and I don’t mean funny to make a joke, but only really good players can lead a league in (turnovers and fouls). You go take a look at the all-time leaders on those lists and it’s nothing but Hall of Famers. I say that to say, how good must Jaden be to where he’s giving you so much that it outweighs those things you don’t like? And the answer is, he’s really, really good. Now as a coach, you have to ask yourself: ‘What can I live with and how can we curb some of those erratic behaviors?’”
