2021 NBA Draft Preview (new thread)

Locke has done podcast now with draft talk as a main part of them and I'm not sure if he has even mentioned Utah and 30. He's just kind of walking down the line of top prospects, starting with #1, and looking at their synergy stats.

I'm excepting him to get to the Jazz's range and be like "Oh, well the guys in this range arent very good, it wouldnt shock me if they trade out"

I think he may fall in love with Jared Butler though when he gets there. As long as he is cleared to play I'd love to have him. Without a medical issue I think he would be a lotto pick... if you told me we traded JC for the #21 pick (salary relief type deal with NY) and we got Butler to play a bench role.. I definitely wouldn't hate it.

But to your point... if they flip the #30 for two seconds this year it saves like $10M... and you can sell it as "we got two guys for the price of one!"... rather than an owner pinching pennies.

Garuba at 25? That draft is wonky.

I have no idea where Garuda is supposed to land and it seems none of the experts do either. Kind of a weird skill set for the modern game but still useful (especially if he can play as a 5).

I think he is in the same tier as Alperen Şengün so somewhere between 15-20.

He is going to be a 5 but I don't think the size is an issue. He plays big and can switch. Great instincts and will on that end. Offense will come slowly but I don't think teams are going to ask much on that end anyways.

Hate Jalen Johnson with a passion

Easily a guy who could fall imo

Maybe, I think that would be a mistake. I thought his draft position would be solidified by now. He is pretty much thoroughly scouted against top competition.
 
It seems unlikely, but the Jazz moving up in the draft, like when we got Mitchell, would be intriguing. Scottie Barnes anyone? Davion Mitchell? Keon Johnson? The possibilities fascinate me.
