2021 NBA Draft Preview (new thread)

I mean if that's who he is we should all be thrilled.

Maybe. I like Josh Christopher and Ayo Dosunmu's potential more, and Butler is a much better on-ball player.

Maybe Gary Harris in a point-guard's body? (Half an inch shorter and 20 lbs lighter than Donovan.)

McBride has a 2-inch longer wingspan than Harris, but gives up 2 inches of height. It's a loose approximation I guess.

In the mock draft Locke is doing he traded the pick to Brooklyn for 44, 49, 59... not a fan. We had the 47th pick and traded it for Thomas... late 50s picks are easy to buy.

I wouldn't be opposed to trading the pick for multiple seconds but I'd try and get two this year and two in future years. I'd also want one of them to be in the 30s.

Actually, why is no one talking about Aaron Henry? What am I missing?

6'6" with almost a 7'
Not the most athletic but not awful. 29 standing and 35 vertical leap
Plays solid defense
will be 22 in august

3 point shooting got worse all 3 years but his form looks good (He shot 38% as a freshman). Free throw shooting is decent at 76%

Jazz should buy every 2nd rounder they can if they think they could trade it for a later 2nd rounder. Gotta figure out ways to restock the assets, even the nominal or marginal ones that the Jazz tossed in the garbage in the last year.

For any subscribers to The Athletic, their yearly "The Finch" article is up. Five anonymous scouts give their takes on their top 50 guys and the author condenses it as if it was said by one person. Not too in depth or anything, but always entertaining.

Thor feels like the type of guy who is two years away from being two years away.

Agreed, get the 2nds. Get 3 rookies out of this. Have Don and our elite developmental staff up their *** so they’re game ready this year. **** the young guys we had this past season.

I smell us trading down unless someone like Murphy falls to us. Calling my shot. Any deal will likely happen in real time on draft day as the draft is occurring.

I hope it happens on draft day...DL blew his load too early last year, got fleeced, and then drafted a 3rd string center
