I could live with that draft.

I would gladly take all three of those guys in the late teens to early 20's but there will better players to choose from with our pick and the minny pick.

I'm starting to think Jazz might be in position to draft both Thompson twins. Apparently they *really* want to play together on the same NBA team too.

Unless they luck into a top 4 spot I doubt it.
Maybe if Amen slides and Kemosahbee is still there late first lol
 
If the Jazz want a big guard or wing shooter like the Kevin Huerter, Tyler Herro and Klay Thompson types that have been killing the Jazz lately, Jett Howard would be a good pick in the later lottery. He's been good shooting off movement and off the dribble, as well as spot ups. Good size at 6'7" - 6'8" with the ability to square up and fire quickly even if he's a bit off balance. He also has some secondary playmaking ability, making him more versatile than just a shooter. He's shooting 39% on 3PAs through his first dozen games.

Jett Howard and Taylor Hendricks are my early slept on dudes.

Hendricks adequate shooting was slept on a lot in the recruiting process, not so much now imo.
I like him as a late riser like J Williams last draft, where he might be an option with one of our first two picks, but probably a reach in the top 14.
Jett has the tools and an elite bbiq. Cannot argue him being taken 9-16, but his lack of even average NBA athleticism, could push him down boards. I think he will struggle some at the next level, defensively but the offense will transfer enough to not care.

That thing is a work of art. Gets it off fast... clean makes... I even like that he comes forward slightly with his leg... will lead to some three shot fouls. Based on size and shooting he should be in the lotto. If he adds anything else then great. I think he may be the 15th player in my top 10 right now.

Taylor been mashing on people from the highlights I have seen.
 
Eddie Zero said:
solid athlete great paint presence and movement defender with floor stretching and some signs of a decent bbiq is intriguing.

I misread your post and though you said Taylor was not a good athlete… you were talking Jett… my bad. With Jett even if he is some version of Cam Johnson type of player that can be really valuable.

The only thing separating Hendricks from GG Jackson right now for me is GG's handle and shift off the dribble. However, I wouldn't be surprised if Hendricks actually has some of that aspect to his game. He's got solid athleticism, balance and body control along with quick hands. He's got the physical tools to develop into a more diverse offensive player.

Jett needs to work on this core strength, burst and lift. Even without that though, he's got enough mobility to play that Klay Thompson/Kevin Huerter role. He's just not a guy who gets on top of the rim right now.

He kind of reminds me of Steve Smith. I feel like he has more upside than Klay and Kevin as a ballhandler/initiator. I have a feeling he probably sticks around for another year though with his dad being the coach and his family not needing nba money.

love his potential as a CJ type offense only wing imo more than a 2 way player like a younger Klay. I don't think he ever has the defensive back mobility you want in a defender though.

You would think, if he had that aspect to his game though, he would be using it given where he is. Its not like he has anyone better in front of him. Like the potential, not a high floor guy though imo

Cam was an exceptional rebounder coming in though so not sure I see the comp there but maybe for Hawkins lol
