I’m still high on Harper. SL is for wild overreactions, but Harper is a guy that looks great to me when I watch him. I’m just super impressed with the top 6 picks this year. Think it’ll go down as a great draft class down the road.

Quick question on this one - we’ve had years that have had a wild number of trades. If we’re all sticking to the “top six picks come from these six eras”, does that mean that trades need to follow those rules as well? For instance - let’s say I already drafted Michael Jordan as my 80’s era, and...

Collier had two great passes in that little highlight package. I sure hope he can figure out how to shoot. Anyways - Congrats Kyle. Glad the Jazz got the steal of that weak *** draft.

One idea to consider - you could lower the total minutes to 700 (which adds up to 23 more players to the mix) but limit each team to only one player under 1,000 minutes.

I know you said only 5 rounds, but I think a “playoff” rotation of 8 players - 5 starters and 3 backups would be appropriate. Totally up to Cy since this is your thing. . . but I’d be down for it.

I want to warn you now that even though we’re making these teams garbage, I’m only going to draft guys that were recognizable Jazz busts - even with the minimum minutes played threshold. Not sure if that’s what you’re going for, but that’s my game plan.

I’ll do it.

Good. Every little step like that helps him grow more into a capable NBA player.

I feel like Kanter and Gobert both had similar transformations back in the day. Hayward’s wasn’t as fast, but his bulking up was impressive then too.

I know this team is really young already, but I feel like adding Dillon Jones for basically nothing would’ve been worth a flier. Especially with his time at Weber State - would’ve likely been a fan favorite. Seems like a solid pickup for the Wizards.

If they’re among the top 8 players on the team they’ll get significant minutes. I have a feeling both Cody and Ace can play the 2 some as well.

01 - Ace 02 - Kessler 03 - Hendricks 04 - Filipowski 05 - George 06 - Sensabaugh 07 - WCJ 08 - Williams 09 - Collier 10 - Tonje

He looks good there. Essentially though, he reminds me of 19 year old Taylor Hendricks, which would make him somewhat redundant for the Jazz. Nice fit for Chicago though. They’re building a fun, young team out there.

Regardless, I think the Jazz should start planting the seeds (anonymously of course) that AJ’s and Boozer’s family, girlfriend, agents, etc. are totally bat-crap crazy and you don’t want that heat.
