2023 NBA Draft Megathread

I watched his 2nd half minutes. His struggles seem to be mostly due to nerves? Had back to back turnovers when I watched him.

He's got some terrible indicators early, but hopefully he can put it together in the 2nd half to the point where he's not embarrassingly bad.

Even this highlight is an example of that. Why does he go left to dribble directly into Herro instead of just continuing right and then dumping an easy pass off to the cutter? Game just way too fast for him right now.
All of his dribbles seem to end the same way with him in mid air smothered by the defense desperately looking for a teammate to dump it off to.
 
Anthony Black with less than a minute of garbage time last night.
Seems like they have gotten worse since reducing his role

They got worse when Franz and Banchero got hit with injuries.
So more than one thing happened. I see.
Weird that injuries would cause Black to get LESS minutes. Usually guys who don't play much get more minutes when injuries hit.

Good stuff.
I would like to see these stats for the whole league or jazz specific.
 
I can’t help but think about having Black in Dunn’s role right now. I thought he would be a great fit next to Sexton and understandably many said we shouldn’t be worried about fit next to him but now that he is balling I think more people would worry about it.

I like Black. It would have been good to have him or Wallace with Collin. I don't think we necessarily have to force a pg next to Collin but do want size next to him. I wonder if repurposing a SG into a game manager point guard that spreads the floor would work.

I think you plan on Sexton, Lauri, Kessler as the building blocks and fit around those guys. Would love to get passing, defense, shooting from the other two slots.

Wallace would have been great too. I agree with everything you said. I would just prioritize someone with size who can defend next to him.
