Do you think our FO has Ace, Tre and VJ ranked 3-5?

Not knowing any other team’s draft board, someone is jumping up and down tier. I think a guy will be there we’re not expecting. What player could jump up a tier? Queen??

There are six guys mentioned for this range: Tre, VJ, Ace, Maluach, Fears, and Kon.

Out of those six, I think Maluach would be a huge surprise, the other five would not.

Outside of those six, Demin and CMB are probably the only guys that could leap up here, but they would be pretty huge mistakes.
 
With his last two top 5 picks he went with versatile wings with size and you can say he's been proven right with both those picks and lets not forget this - he went AGAINST consensus with BOTH Brown and Tatum.

The only real wing from those is Ace... he's not exactly versatile, but I can see potential of him being two way wing if he buys into coaching. Purely based on the type of skills(even with some warts) and clear path to NBA role, it feels like VJ might be top of the list...

But this all is wild speculation, of course. Reality is... we don't know.
 
In terms of fit, VJ is an HORRENDOUS fit with Hardy playstyle wise and Ace is an even worse fit personality wise. Tre is a largely ideal fit with Hardy.

Does any of that matter for who they'll pick? Probably not.

No idea who the Jazz will pick as of now.

Hardy has a style?? That's news to me.

Unless you mean "play hard and pass the ball", in which case VJ is a perfect fit.

Hardy plays an extremely passive defense that utilizes none of VJ's strengths for getting steals.

I guess he could encourage his guys going for more steals if they had the personnel for it? The personnel was horrendous for generating steals last year but the Jazz were still the worst steal generating team in the NBA by a huge margin.

I dunno, Kris Dunn had no problem playing extremely risky, steal-hunting defense when he was here.

I mean, Dunn saw a huge jump in steal rate with the Clippers, but yeah, maybe it's just because the Jazz's personnel does not get steals (Cody Williams and Keyonte in particular are terrible at generating steals)
 
DJ and PK (not the most reliable source) saying that the Jazz like Fears and they might not be as high on Bailey as others.

They clearly really like him because Givony/Woo's mock on ESPN keeps having the Jazz take Fears, and it's the best most filled in mock out there. However, once push comes to shove I think logic will prevail and the Jazz won't draft an undersized Guard that can't shoot.

And that would explain why they have Ace lower despite Givony loving Ace Bailey....wait a second.

Im sure the Jazz FO is telling people exactly who they like and arent lying or trying to hide stuff at all.
