I'm not sure why this article is in this thread, but I think if you can get JC for a 3/45 deal and you are trying to be good next year, you have to do that.

Latest Mock From Box-and-One has the Jazz taking Anthony Black at #9, GG Jackson at #16 and Sidy Cissoko at #28. Bilal goes #32 to Indiana.

Without seeing who else is available on the surface I would like that.

All three are really young. They all might be still playing in 2040.

Me too. Wing sized players with high upside at every spot. I know Coulibaly looks good and is getting hyped around here, but I love Cissoko. I really think he has a chance to be special.

That would be a whole draft of “upside swing”.

Honestly I think Sidy would be the only one able to really contribute in any fashion, right away, out of that group.

His top 8 were Wemby, Scoot, Amen, Miller, Walker, Whitmore, Hendricks, Ausar. Jazz took Black (9). Dallas took Wallace (10). Magic took Dick (11), OKC took Lively (12). Raptors took JHS (13). Pels took Hawkins (14). Hawks took Keyonte (15).

True...it hurts to say but Sidy is way more aggressive and confident... why is being young and inexperienced so difficult for some players..?

I don’t think GG lacks confidence at all, I just don’t see him being NBA ready for awhile.

I’ve gone every direction on Black that I don’t know what to think right now. I def don’t see him running the point for us in his rookie season. Maybe some minutes as a secondary ball handler/defender but would likely need to be paired with KO if he’s still around and not WK.

This is the type of draft that really could lead to us being worse next season and losing more games, like Locke has discussed. Those guys are all going to need a lot of development.

Would give the Jazz a ton of size, athleticism, and defensive potential.

I mean that's going to be the case for any trio of rookies we draft if we want that (as in playing them a good amount of minutes) unless we luck out and get a Donovan Mitchell type who is ready right away from out of nowhere.
