What????

He's closer to Gordon Hayward than Diaw.

OK, I've only seen highlights, so that's why I'm asking the question.

I was just thinking of a comp for a 6'8" guy that wasn't overly athletic, but could play with the ball in his hands and Diaw came to mind (maybe because of the French connection).

Diaw was just such a hyper unique player I wouldnt comp anyone to him.

Who knows how Dadiet develops overall, but he has some interesting playmaking stuff. I think he's just as good as Buzelis, if not better.

This draft is just so weak. It's finding a needle in a haystack kind of draft. You hope to get lucky finding a gem. But chances are, you're getting a bench warmer IMO.

You need to do more research. This draft has great depth.

He’s taller than Darius Garland. Sure he’s 10 lbs lighter but hopefully he can put some weight on.

You keep bringing up Darius Garland like that is a good thing. If you think Dillingham is the most likely to be a star and his ceiling is Garland then this is a terrible draft. I really don't see the thought process. Can you give me a player that is comparable that ever helped a team really compete? Short, score first guard, with no defense. Even if there is couple, it is extremely rare.
 
The G-League Ignite prospects likely end up as my undoing as an armchair draft analyst for this draft.

It's difficult to evaluate guys that are playing full game garbage time minutes every game. It's also hard to like guys who allowed games to get out of hand so frequently.

Smart was also ~35 lbs heavier...which is insane. Yeah he's short, but he's built like a house and can still move like he does. Same with Dort. At 22 years old, there's definitely no guarantee that Carter can put on close to amount of size and if he did....will he be as quick as he is now? I think Carter will be a great defender nonetheless, but maybe not a great wing defender due to his size.

And this is coming from someone who has Devin Carter high on their board....I just feel like if we can't acknowledge concerns/cons for the players we're not actually doing any analysis.

I feel like a better rebounding Eric Gordon is the better comparison for Carter if he really hits.

The impression I got from that article was that the Jazz might try to trade into the teens and take Dillingham if he falls there. I didn't get the impression that the Jazz are looking at him at #10, but maybe I'm misreading it.

The Jazz are exploring trading up from #10 and also trying to get into the teens. Concurrently, the Lakers have some interest in Colin Sexton and could include the #17 pick in a trade proposal.

I don't think #29 + #32 could get the Jazz up into the teens without the Jazz adding a player to the trade.

Locke keeps pushing Jared McCain if one of the wings are not available. He also likes to repeat Collier's ranking out of high school too. I get the feeling he knows we are trying to get a wing first (Williams/Holland/Salaun) and then trade up from 29/32 to get McCain/Collier if they fall enough (maybe at 17).
