Utah Jazz Select Walter Clayton Jr, Pick 18 (Trade)

[Isaiah 1:13]

Cody and Collier are nothing alike and play completely different positions/roles

Of course not. Walter Clayton Jr. is a 6’2” combo guard that most would envision as a one more than a two at the next level.

What is it with the Jazz and biracial point guards? Deron, Dante, and Walter

Oops, your MAGA is showing

Is Walter Clayton the best shooter the Jazz have ever drafted?

Dell Curry was very good but he was not biracial

Ya I have also soured a bit as time has passed (and I was a bit sour in the first place)

Trading up to then pass on Kas was galaxy-brain stupid. I’m praying that my takes will look dumb but I just cannot believe what happened. WCJ wasn’t even in consideration for me, would’ve been thrilled if he was there at 43, I guess?

Best argument is he would be a good model for Ace of anyone we could’ve drafted at that point.

So Walter Clayton gets the Jamal Murray comps and so does Keyonte... do we have 2 Jamal Murray's at home!!!

WCJ straight up played better than Kas to end the season. Better shooter who produced as the alpha on the best team in the country in high stakes, clutch moments.

Kas was coming back from injury, is three years younger, bigger, and vastly more skilled on the ball.

WCJ is a grinder and clutch, no doubt. As to whether that translates to the NBA level is a big question. Trey Burke was also clutch as all hell and that never mattered.

IF his shot translates, he's a nasty player to have. Payton Pritchard 2.0

If it doesn’t he might waive a towel.

Brunson 2.0.

Flame away, my brodies

it should be noted that at age 21, Murray averaged 18 and 5 on 53.8 TS. Key at age 21 averaged 17 and 6 on 53.9 TS%. In Murray's next season he went for 18 and 4 on 55.9% TS. Key is actually very similar to Murray with perhaps better PG skills - just needs to continue a slight improvement in efficiency to reach that level.

You gotta stop doing the PPG/APG analysis on Key. We all know better.

what are you talking about? seriously. what else should include in a comparison with Murray?

did you even read my post?

The post where you once again evaluate Key in terms of PPG/APG and TS%? Yes I did. Key at 21 was not close to Jamal with better PG skills at 21. Stop it.

I mean, it's going to translate to some degree. The guy is an elite shooter. Just remains to be seen if he's an elite NBA shooter, but he's definitely going to be a guy who can shoot.
