If I'm the Jazz, I'd be looking at Carter Bryant with the Twolves pick. I'm also mildly curious about Maluach if he can add more dimensions to his game.

I'm locked in on Drake Powell. He isn't having the impact that was expected but he is going to be a rock solid all around wing which is something we need.
Just a beast.

I said this a couple weeks ago when Bailey was hovering aroung 60% FTs. In Bailey's last 6 games, he's 26-29 FTs (90%). 14-14 in his last two. Bailey can shoot. FTs are a non-issue in terms of projecting him as a shooter - if anything they are a feather in his cap. the early season struggles were an aberration.
I wish that Ace had better ballhandling and playmaking, but you definitely can't argue with his scoring ability. I would be thrilled to have him if we miss out on Flagg and Harper.

I really hope we manage to dodge a situation where we "have" to take Bailey.
The lack of athleticism and ballhandling is such a red flag for a supposed "pure scorer". In the league, he's gonna be a spot up shooter who can't guard his position. Period.
Bailey is just 6'8'' with zero bounce, which means that he'll have a lot of trouble just shooting over people in the NBA. He's being guarded by 6'5'' guys in college, but that will change.
This kid can still become a useful NBA player since shooting is a premium skill, but you have to run complicated actions to get him free and hide him on defense. In other words, a role player. No thanks.
Perfect player for a contender with the other pieces already in place, though.

20 shots, zero assist. Now no assist in 105 straight minutes.
It's a concern. I still like Kas better, but 38 points on 20 shots is pretty incredible.
Yeah, it's probably NBD, but it is just funny. KD's longest streak of no assist minutes was 148.

There are 4 or 5 passes in this video. One or two of them should have been an assist, but the guy he passes to misses a shot. One of the passes here is really bad.
Overall, extremely impressive.
