So...are any of the new players good?

Stop it. Clarkson was viewed as a bad contract and a chucker and had never had a season better than what Beasley did in the 20-21 season. You are just making yourself look foolish.
 
Vanderbilt will be a fan favorite.

I can almost guarantee the key pieces of the deal for Utah were McDaniels and Vanderbilt. I imagine Ainge wanted both, but he had to have at least one or the deal wouldn’t get done. He got Vanderbilt and when Minny said he couldn’t also have JM, Ainge made them throw in another pick.

Vanderbilt might have the best motor in the league. He’s everywhere and never stops moving. Always in the passing lanes, helping on D, crashing the offensive glass, taking charges, getting deflections, moving without the ball, running the floor, etc, and he can adequately defend all five positions. Just a badass.

Can’t shoot for ****, but he can handle the ball and is a good passer. It’s cliche, but he’s the ultimate high motor guy that can impact the game without scoring.
 
Bolmaro was scheduled to play summer league with the TWolves so I wonder if he will play for the Jazz. Bolmaro averaged 17 ppg in the GLeague. He's 6'6" so there is a wing. If the Jazz don't make another move they have depth with this bunch.

Vanderbilt is the better out of the two IMO. mcdaniels is younger and has more shooting potential(31% from deep isn't ideal) but vanderbilt just has better feel for the game. always at the right place at the right time and make plays with extreme smart/discipline. very coachable kid.

Mcdaniels on the other hand would often struggle to stay out of foul trouble(fouled out in 8 games this season and 5 fouls in 7) and look lost on the court at times, which has been his biggest issue since college.

Minny has an overall net negative ratings with Mcdaniels on the floor and BIG positive with Vanderbilt.
 
The short answer is no. They are all 6-15 roster pieces. Also the picks are plentiful but most likely going to be glorified 2nd round quality. End of 1st round picks are the worst cause those players get automatic guaranteed deals.

the bolded doesn't even make sense, tbh. the question was are any of them good? 6th roster guys are generally pretty damn good. Both Beverley and Vanderbilt were actually starters all season. Beasley is easily a 6th or 7th guy off the bench. double figure scorer in 5 of his 8 seasons.

iow, the short answer, is yes. three of them are pretty damn good and the other two are young guys with some potential.
