Id have a hard time betting on a guy as passive as Edwards.
2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread
- Thread starter Saint Cy of JFC
- Start date
He's definitely in play at 9/10.

Shep, Dillinger, Collier all there when Jazz pick.
Man which to pair with George. Then move Sex to 6th man, deal Clarkson.
Knecht throws a wrench in as he is also available.
Why am I getting so excited..
I would be floored if Knecht was on the board at 9.

Yeah I guess me too
I guess I was thinking jazz pick was 6 ish - so no sarr topic risacher or williams .. so who knows who's off the board after that
I'm expecting Sarr, Topic, Risacher, Williams, Holland and Buzelis to be off the board. Jazz would be looking at Dillingham, Knecht or Salaun, imo. Maybe Holland slips a bit due to his shooting, but I doubt it.
Knecht probably goes 7? Maybe 8?

Jazz should be looking at Tidjane Salaun at 9 or 10, imo. He's a legit 6'8" or 6'9", long (7'+ ws), decently athletic, high-motor, with comfortable range out to 28 feet. He can take a couple dribbles before shooting his jumper, and he can attack close-outs with straight-line-drives and finishes above the rim. He can also pass a bit. His size/length gives him a solid defensive presence. There's quite a bit to work with as an 18 y.o. The question will continue to be whether he can create off the dribble.

I feel there is a clear top 4
Sarr
Topic
Williams
Risarcher
Then it starts to get cloudy
Holland
Buzelis
Dillingham
Walter
Filipowski
Sheppard
Knecht
Salaun
After that it is all over the board even some of the above slipping. If the Jazz draft.at 9 or 10 they will get a good pick.
Collier
Furphy
Smith
Chomche
Missi
Could all move up too.

Holland, Buzelis and Knecht should all be comfortably top 10, imo.
I think Walter drops a bit...like Keyonte last year. There are a few question marks there, including defense and consistency.
Dillingham is a top-10 talent, but needs a team fit--someone looking for a small score-first guard.
Filipowski likely goes late lottery. His range should probably be 12 - 16. Lack of rim presence likely holds him back a bit, imo.
Sheppard's range should probably be 9 - 15. Furphy likely goes a few picks after Sheppard.
I think both Salaun and Tyler Smith are lottery-level talents, but it's eye-of-the-beholder. Smith could drop to the late teens possibly.
Chomche looks like a developmental pick whose range should likely be 16 - 25.
Missi is a guy who likely goes in the 20s simply due to perceived positional value.
Collier and Castle are wildcards, imo. Both should go in the teens, but someone may have to drop.
Another wildcard is Kyshawn George, but that guy needs to get with a personal trainer and look more athletic in his workouts.

Payton Sandfort needs to be discussed for the 2nd/3rd picks. Dude has been filthy this year.
Could he be the next Duncan Robinson? A lot of similiarities.

Just look at this dude's shot. Beautiful and he does it on a wide variety of looks/difficulty.
