Jazz could also be setting up a serious smokescreen for anyone who wants Fears in the 6-9 range

Tony got Cy-Pilled and loves Rasheer Fleming.

Good stuff in this interview:
** Tony thinks VJ likely has a floor at #4 to Charlotte, thinks VJ goes at 3 or 4.
** He thinks Tre Johnson is likely at the top of the Jazz’s board at #5.
** He thinks Tre, Fears, Kon and Ace are likely ahead of Maluach on the Jazz’s board, but that Maluach would enable the Jazz to reset their timeline if they don’t want to pay Walker.
** Tony compares Kon to Desmond Bane, which is a comp Sam Vecenie has used. Tony thinks Kon is a very solid shooter and passer at the 2-guard, who has some potential to post up other 2s.
** Tony thinks the Jazz might swing on Ace’s upside.
** Tony likes Fleming and Newell at 21. Also thinks Clifford is a standout. Also mentions Demin and Traore.
** Tony sees high upside in Will Riley, thinks he was the best Freshman at Illinois.

Just as a follow up, this dude also said that Ace doesn’t want to play in Utah. Is he reputable? I’ve never heard of him

Ace apparently said he “doesn’t have much interest in Utah.”

I'm telling you... Danny is so excited to do his little dance he loves where he moves back a spot or two based on intel and seemingly gets a heist.

I have no idea what to make of the second workout. I really think we might have a decent trade back option and want to make sure we like Fears or Khaman or whoever may be outside the main consensus guys.

Mike Miller is Fears agent I believe and that kinda gave me a little boost to Fears. I have no idea why because all I can remember is him repping Paolo but in my mind it made me rethink my stance on him.

Let's say 1-4 is Flagg/Harper/VJ/Kon, then Utah trades 5 to New Orleans. NOLA takes Ace at 5, then Washington takes either Tre/Malauch/Fears. If Fears is the real target, that would be kind of scary because I'm not sure which way Washington would go at 6.

What's even the point of a 2nd workout? To discuss apartment options/living arrangements?

Don't know. Might have had a great first workout and they want to see if he can repeat it.

Yeah, but these guys dont want to waste their time. That means there is a serious level of interest from both sides of wanting to team up.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

It's kind of feeling like a Fears/Riley draft. I think we like both of them and they should both be available with our picks.

Especially if the Jazz swap picks with Washington and the Wizards assure the Jazz they won’t take Fears.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Im curious as to the history of the Jazz bringing in the same guy twice.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Don't know. Might have had a great first workout and they want to see if he can repeat it.

The last high-profile prospect I can recall the Jazz bringing in for a 2nd workout was Aaron Gordon.

Jazz have been keeping workouts quiet as of late though.

I think there is a ton of posturing going on. I think they may be cool with Fears or Tre in that scenario (or Kon if Tre goes). I think the scary scenario for me would be moving to 8.
