I mean the issue is that you have to be just elite offensively to make up for terrible defense. The path for Filipowski to become a starting NBA PF is to show he can competently defend at PF. Hopefully he gets there.

" The Jazz have parted ways with veterans Jordan Clarkson, John Collins and Collin Sexton this summer, clearing the way for Utah's collection of young picks to develop and be evaluated during another season that is likely to end with the best possible lottery odds. This has prompted a lot of...

Collier obviously has no chance of playing real NBA minutes unless he becomes a much better shooter (and he's not showing any progress), but Clayton needs to actually show NBA PG skills to be an NBA PG. The most likely outcomes are for Collier to be a 10th or 11th man and Clayton to be a 6th man.

The 18th overall pick is actually very unlikely to be a good starter in the NBA.

Absurd insecurity to respond to mocking your terrible scouting by implying that your critics are racist conspiracy theorists who support cutting off AIDS treatment for poor people in Africa.

Player falls to 18th in a whatever draft, projected as a career backup by NBA teams despite absurdly elite shooting because he's a bad passer and defender. Has lengthy defensive lowlight reel. View: https://youtu.be/ni4UyMk8UUw?si=ddHEI2--uwXlDkDN&t=711 But uhh, I guess pointing this out is...

Clayton was not an impressive passer or defender at all in college. He wasn't Jimmer tier, but he was Jimmer-esque at times in those areas. We'll see how much he improves in the NBA when he's no longer the primary option on offense.

We only have two picks left and one is top 5 protected. Unless they're bad in 2026-2027, the remaining picks from them don't matter.

Halo. Didn't know his dog was so small, very cute.

Ace and Cody are nothing alike. Cody's entire appeal was that he was smart (he played PG in high school) and could dribble a bit and had a good finishing package. He was a terrible athlete and incredibly thin and had a broken jumpshot and could not defend at all due to how unathletic and weak he...

Cody was one of the absolute worst defenders in the league last year and was terrible defensively in college as well. The defensive improvement for the Jazz with Cody is that Cody is probably going to barely play this year. Ace has tons of defensive upside, but is probably going to be bad...

For his size, I think Cody might be the single worst rebounder in recent NBA history. How does he never get any.

It's going to be SloMo over Collier as SloMo is a much better player.

Keyonte SloMo Ace Lauri Kessler To start the season Then trade Lauri and bench SloMo. SloMo can play PG on offense and SF on defense.

Ace is soooo explosive.
