Stop and think about the difference of competition level playing against Wemby and playing with Wemby....
2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Because I think JHS is a better prospect. Better in the PNR and didn't rely on being big in the paint to draw fouls as his main source of offense. Better length and size to guard multiple positions. Better shake. Better shot form. Better with off hand. Bigger shot profile. Is a better fit with roster. Has a haircut.
It’s not that different. Mets 92 aren’t going against the Washington Generals. Wemby is the best player but it’s a competitive league.
Cannot wait to see your unbelievably stupid Bilal takes now that you found a new bandwagon to jump on.
He'll come around man. Let the prickliness go, it's just basketball and people can change their takes all the time.
If the Jazz stayed at 9 and took Bilal, then Hendricks would likely go 10 to Dallas, Dick could be 11 to Orlando. I don't think OKC would draft JHS as a priority. They might take George or Lively.
But then Toronto would likely take their choice of Bufkin, Wallace and JHS at #13, imo. NOLA might take George or Lively, depending on which is left. ATL might take another guard there.
At least one of Cason Wallace, Kobe Bufkin, Keyonte George or JHS would probably make it to #16, but it would likely be the last guy that other teams passed on. I'm not sure who else could break into that group. Hawkins maybe?

I like that draft as well
If the Jazz can trade for #6 and #11 from Orlando, they could take Jarace Walker at #6 and Bilal possibly at #11. (It's sounding like Cam Whitmore is the favorite to go #5 to Detroit.) They'd probably need #11 anyway to get their first choice of PG (Bufkin, JHS, etc.).
Markets are wrong. A lot.
Not all posters here are mature.
No matter what Bilal takes I have, they are going to be better than "I liked Bilal first so anyone who likes him later is wrong"

It may be too hard to pull off a scenario to get Bilal and Cam. The hype is too high for Bilal although I think he deserves it he is not going to be there at any spot except 9.
My new take. Stay at 9, draft Bilal and acquire the 10th pick and select Black or Cason or whoever drops (pray for Jarace) and leave it at that.

Watching this NBA Finals game I can't help but think Kobe Bufkin could be a special, complete, high-level, two-way guard.
I'm thinking JHS
BUT *wack excuses* !!!

This might be one of my favorite back to back posts of all time.
I wanna believe in everything that you’ve said.. because it sounds so.. good..
How exactly do we just casually ‘acquire’ the 10th pick..?
