Ok, I guess I didn't understand the point of your post saying Brice can play the 3 so maybe the Jazz will draft a 2?

Cuz it makes no sense.

If the Jazz slate Brice to play at the 3, he'd be a backup behind Lauri, who starts there. Hence, there would be an open spot (and potentially even a starting spot) at the 2. That's why Walter and Knecht could get a strong look....and Castle too, I guess.

Is Chomche a guy we could make a promise to that might stop him from working out with other teams or going to the ignite program? With either late pick? Or would his stock be higher than that if he actually declared?

He's the kind of guy who could get up to #15 or so with strong workouts. He's shown flashes of shooting with a small sample size. If he shows that's for real in workouts, then look out. The combination of physical tools, age and shooting could push him up ahead of guys like Missi and Ware, imo.
 
Also Donovan Dent is probably in my top 20 now. One of the locked in draft guys has been on him for a while and Vecenie wrote about him recently. I watched his highlights and he is an extremely smart passer. The dude is very savvy with how he uses angles.

Hmmm... I've seen him play a couple times against Utah State. I just looked him up and didn't realize he was only a Sophomore, plays like he's a lot older.

Only red flag for me is he's a very low volume 3pt shooter for his height.

This draft is weird. I don't get it. The projected lottery has guys with crappy field goal percentages who barely score 10 points a game and the end of the round has hidden gems like Kel'el Ware - a legit, defensive center who can score and hit threes or Hunter Sallis who can defend on-ball pretty well and is athletic and efficient on offense.

Ware isn't a hidden gem. How much do you know about him?

i have basically zero issues with the order that top 14. that's bonkers. i might throw dillingham and sheppard at 7 and 8 and move everybody else down (maybe as high as 5 and 6), but otherwise nothing significant (buzelis over furphy, but i'm not that high on either guy). castle, walter and williams are mostly coin flips for me. williams hasn't done jack **** since January, but was damn good the previous two months. castle has been underwhelming on offense all year, but stellar defensively, and walter has been the most up and down game to game over the course of the season.

also, i wish we could have seen a full season of holland - he might have earned top 5 status if he could have kept playing. as it is, i think 10-12 is about right.

the are both very interesting. 15-25 range, imo, for both.
