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.

They can take one of those guys at 12… and get their pick back. I think the Bilal smoke is only somewhat true. I think OKC is sweet on Taylor and will give up some stuff and we still get a guy we really like. I think Washington goes with Black.

That's my point. If that is his biggest flaw, that's a good bet to get fixed. The counter is that AK47 could never put on the weight he needed to dominate.

That was merely a symptom down the list of more important causes. All problems lead back to he didn’t love basketball and had an ego/fragile psyche on top of that. From there, he doesn’t believe he needs to improve and didn’t have the work ethic to improve even if he did.

He was a normal dude who was an excellent basketball player. He was not obsessed or consumed by it… I don’t blame him but that was the thing that held him back most imo… may have made him a better human though… balance… yada yada.
 
The combination of BOTH Bilal and Bufkin sneaking towards the top-10 range is problematic. Jazz won't be able to reach one of them by trading up from 16, unless they can do a deal with Dallas at 10.

Trading up from 16 is more likely to yield George, Wallace or Hood-Schifino.

Not everyone can go top 10… if Bufkin, Bilal, JHS go between picks 10-15 other guys will fall… Dick, Miller, Wallace might unexpectedly be there.
