Didn’t we all learn about him later in the process?

I think the Jazz stay at 9. The move from 16 to 12 - I love that idea - improve the quality of the player without giving up a pick per se (that way Ainge can keep his trove for an all-star). And finally trading from 28 to 21 to nab another quality option. I like the idea of getting Patty Mills while only giving up a future first.
Bilal/Bufkin/GG and Patty Mills while only giving up one future 1st. Dang...that would be sweet.
After the draft we go all-star hunting. Dame, Jaylen, etc..that would be a quick bounce back with youth being a large component.

AK was 230 lbs. He had big legs. He just never built out his upper body.
If Dallas can get Anthony Black at #10, they might just take him. The Jazz's trade would then need to be with Toronto, convincing the Raptors that Hawkins will be there for them at #16, since Utah, NOLA and Atlanta are drafting guards. Bufkin is gone, but the Jazz can choose from among Keyonte, Hood-Schifino and Wallace.
Those are good points, but you don't like the idea of forfeiting the 2024 rights entirely to the OKC to move from 16 to 12? I think that's the easiest move to convince OKC.
Yeah we could be in the lottery but if we truly believe the Jazz are going to turn it around then maybe you take that risk. Especially if Ainge is confident he is getting an all-star.
We wouldn't be forfeiting the rights to our 2024 pick. In my scenario, OKC moved up to 10 to take Hendricks. Then Utah did a deal with Dallas to move up to 12.
Oh I see that now as a possibility.
OKC moves up for Hendricks.
Dallas walks away with Dort, Lively and moves a bit of money.
Utah gets a guard they like at 12.
NOLA drops back 2 spots and adds #28.

My prediction on draft night…
Hendricks falls and we trade him to OKC for our 2024 pick and some seconds.
We take Bufkin at 12.
We trade 28 and KO for Collins and 15. We take Bilal at 15 and Leonard Miller at 16.
Hendricks falls and we trade him to OKC for our 2024 pick and some seconds.
We take Bufkin at 12.
We trade 28 and KO for Collins and 15. We take Bilal at 15 and Leonard Miller at 16.
Oh and then if we want buy back in the draft with a future first.. maybe Brooklyn.
Hendricks falls to what -- 9? I think the Jazz are going to want to get a player they love at 9 -- whether that's Walker, Bufkin or Coulibaly. The other issue is that Washington may take Bufkin at 8, unless that's all just smoke.
That's Ainge like.
