Who should we pick at #5?

[Basketball Novice]

Maluach is an interesting choice. I see the vision with him and he could develop into a monster player. I also get the feeling he has more to his game that he didn't get to show at Duke. The hands are really questionable sometimes but there is alot to like. If this is the direction, I think you strike while the Walker trade market is hot.

He is closer to Azubuike than Embiid my G.

Yeah but offensively do you not see the potential?

 

[The Midnight]

Well, we already have two young centers and it would be comical to tank the entire season just to add another one. And the rest of them are all below average defenders, which is good. I guess Ainge will probably pick the one with the least defense, so... Tre or Jakucionis?

Walker as much as i love him is really limited offensively.

I say we trade him and draft a much more multidimensional Maluach.

If Maluach has questionable hands do Jazz really want Gobert 2?

He's not on the same planet as Gobert at rim protecting.

He's not the pick at 5.

Getting a #5 pick might be a blessing in disguise as it forces us to look more seriously in Maluach imo.

What a major disappointment.

Anyway I think they somehow end up with Ace. Either he falls or they trade up a slot or two. Ainge basically started the Celtic rebuild drafting two SFs/big wings in Brown and Tatum.

I genuinely dont. He is at the back end of my board today. Like, in the 20's.

I watched the tourney with a very open mind and wanted to love him. Its hard to disappear at his size but he very much did. He got out rebounded by Tyrese Proctor vs a short HOU team........by 1 rebound.



Proctor had 1 rebound.

He can shoot 3s. He’s not a Gobert 2.0.

Yeah but when drafting you have to project somewhat.

25% from 3....

Dawg.............0 rebounds against a team with no one over 6'8" in the biggest game of the year, and he is 7'infinity".

Cut it out
