Trade up? What are you willing to give up?

I would package #16 and #28 to move up to #13 for Kobe Bufkin, Keyonte George, Cason Wallace, or GG (if he's still there).

ORL at #11 and OKC at #12 don't need guards as a priority. One of these teams is very likely to take Gradey Dick. So I think a couple of the guards we've been discussing can likely be taken at #13. Jazz would need to get ahead of NOLA and ATL probably.

THANK THE JAZZ ORGINATION YOU ARENLT PICKING. GG AT 9? LOL
 
It all just really depends, but I’ll just say that I’m hoping to turn some or all of 9, 16, 28, Ochai, Olynyk, Nunn, Clarkson, Sexton, and/or cap space into:

-Hendricks
-Wallace
-GG
-Reaves

I wouldn't doubt they trade down and then back up. Like the 9 for 13 and a future first, then the 13 for 11 and 28, or whatever the Philly pick is worth.
Something like that always seems to happen when teams have several picks.

I don't think anyone views Sexton as a natural point guard. I think he's viewed as a sparkplug scoring guard off the bench. Whether he has much trade value is a fair question.

The draft is likely perceived to flatten out after the top 4 or 5 picks. Players like Black, Ausar, Hendricks, Walker have been pretty interchangeable in mocks. Maybe that will change, but the early buzz has been that teams like Orlando, Detroit and Indiana are open to moving off their picks. Getting into the Top 4 is probably a different story.

He scores and hustles and has a great contract

I was of the belief that the common opinion of this years draft was that outside of the 1 pick it wasn't loaded with talent?

From what I've read it's really good at the top (like best in 20 years) but not loaded with depth.

"The 2023 draft is seen as a strong class through the lottery and into the teens but tapers off and has a lot of questions due to the lack of emergence from upperclassmen"

Sam Vecenie notes these rankings are largely still a moving target as evaluators get more eyes on prospects throughout March Madness.

Orlando is a funky trade partner for us because they already have another lottery pick at 11. Detroit could be an interesting trade partner if they aren’t enamored with anyone at 5.
 
Orlando might be more than willing to trade their 2nd lottery pick (11th pick.) Jazz should offer 16, 28 and protected future 1st for it. Then I'll be fine with us picking either George, Dick or Wallace.
 
Not much point in trading up 2-3 spots. If we are trade to move up we may as well just trade #9 for a star unless one of the Hornets blazers or rockets are dumb enough to trade 9 and 16 for 2-3 or 4. If we can’t get top 3 I don’t see the point in giving up assets for a prospect that might me marginally better.
 
What do you think guys about Rupert? He is only 18, got a decent season in New Zeeland. Seems to be a good defender and have a kind of Bridges potential. Seems to be positionned around 20 in the draft.
