2023 Trade Rumors and Gossip Involving the Jazz

[whatthe]

Bilal's ISO game away from the rim is a hot mess. Just stating a fact. It is a common problem but it is what it is.

Sam Vecenie said he would consider 16+28+Something else for #10 if he was Dallas.

DIdnt really specify what that would be, but I think that's something Utah would do pretty easily if the other thing is just one of their future picks.

Depends on which one but I’d like to keep 28 if we’re adding a future first.

It feels like historically this is where teams take swings and they almost never pan out. Teams in the lottery are looking for that guy that can put them over the top, but realistically the back end of the lottery is going to get you a rotation player, if you pick well.

Yeah, you arent drafting Bilal for his ISO game. You're drafting him because he's a high IQ defender w/ elite length/athleticism (and potentially growing) and has displayed he can play a role offensively.

I dont buy him as having a ton of bust potential given the fact he is contributing intagible/role player attributes at an early age.

Truly though that last part does not matter at all. The same could be said about so many players.

How is Bilal any more risky than Ausar Thompson?

Bilal is 1.5 years younger, more or less equals athletically, longer, and contributed to a professional team that made the Finals in a decent league.

That one certainly panned out.

 

[David Hume]

Bilal going 9 is literally the worst timeline. That means we passed on someone good and reached hard. Then we’d never hear the end of it from Ferg and Cy.

But intellectual honesty presupposes that we do not deceive our colleagues, so if a JazzFan member assesses Coulibaly to be a proper selection at nine, given the cloudy circumstances of proper prognostication, we should not pressure that colleague into hiding their true, robust views. The Enlightenment taught us to move out of acceptance of authority and to chose reason and the cold blooded testing of empirical adequacy.

If you pick well.

I'm happier swinging at 16 and/or 28.

This is your daily reminder that Bilal is 2-18 off the dribble

I would definitely say Ausar is more risky, but I also think he has more upside.

Orlando fans (some of them at least) seem to think that Amen Thompson is going to be available at #6, meaning that Cam Whitmore would go to Houston at #4 and Jarace Walker likely goes to Detroit at #5. Thompsons could go back-to-back at 6 and 7.
