Makes sense… I can see him as a culture setter and being a guy that will at least be pretty functional early.

Link? The thing I'm seeing still has Jarace at 7

There are also very few upperclassman. So while the freshman class may be disappointing, there are also very few upperclassman that exceeded them. Bufkin may be the only upperclassman drafted in the lottery.

Upperclassmen are juniors and seniors. Bufkin is a sophomore.

They are going to waive and stretch CP3 I would assume unless they can find a trade partner.

He's going to the Clippers for Morris, Batum, and/or RoCo.

Wasserman from BR has Dick at 7 on the latest update to his mock draft. If IND really wants him they should just trade down to 9 with us and pick up an extra asset.

They're taking Dick seriously. The more confident everyone is that WAS is taking Black, the more likely that IND trades back to 9. The question is whether the Jazz still care about trading up to 7.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Washington waited too long to trade Beal, they should have traded him before the new contract. That is why the Jazz were so smart to trade Rudy and even DM when they did. They got several first round picks and some young players while Washington is getting just a bunch of second round picks and a washed up CP3. Now you understand why some franchises suck every year. As far as the draft goes, they need help in so many places it is hard to predict who they will pick.

Washington got screwed so hard. What a terrible return for their de facto franchise player. Holy crap. Old Chris Paul on an expiring contract, Landry Shamet, 2nd round picks and pick swaps? Ouch!

Just a reminder. . .

Rudy Gobert - 3 unprotected 1st round picks, 1 top 5 protected pick, 2 pick swaps, Walker Kessler, THT (via Beverley) and about half of the Lakers top 4 protected pick (via Beasley/Vando).

Donovan Mitchell - 3 unprotected picks, a pick swap, Lauri Markkanen, Collin Sexton and Ochai Agbaji.

Jazz will have 3 picks this year (including two top 16 picks) to jump start their rebuild. Wizards have to tear it down AND they will have Jack crap for assets to do that. Glad we’re not the Wizards right now.

It depends if we want Black or not.

Guess they are waiting until Monday to actually put the changes in to the order.

Yeah, not sure why they are doing that.

Going to laugh when it gets revealed the consensus top 9 or 10 was completely fabricated and you get the Bilal/Dicks/Bufkin all going in the top 10 while Midricks falls.
