I’ve watched Fears. I also watched his game against Texas a&m where he literally scored 0 points.
I don’t care how dominant he was. I don’t want another small guard on the Jazz (6’5” wingspan) that can’t shoot from the outside.
If the Jazz really do like Fears & Kneuppel a lot, it makes all the sense in the world to trade with New Orleans down to #7.
They'd be guaranteed to get one Fears, Knueppel, Bailey, or Johnson (likely Fears).
Fears has a 6'5" wingspan (horrible) and shot 28% from the 3 last year. I'll be so bummed out if he's the pick.
He had also had a game last season against Texas A&M where he went 0-5 from the floor, had 0 points, and 3 assists. It's crazy to draft a guy at #5 that's capable of scoring 0 points...
You bring up some valid points, but there's just such an overall talent and ceiling discrepancy between Kon & Ace. There's just no way.
I can't pinpoint exactly where I've seen the Ace stuff, but I've seen comments made by media alluding to the fact that they do like him. Also, if Any & Sarah...
Because it’s a wrong idea. There’s been musings throughout the season and this whole process the Jazz have liked Ace.
In addition, Ainge has a proven track record of loving long, athletic, wings that can shoot and have all the physical tools.
I would bet my life there is 0 chance that if at #5...
This trade just makes so much sense to me. The only reason you don't do this if you're the Jazz is if you could find something even better. Collins/Sexton/Juzang to the Bucks for Lillard and their 2027 1st.
Should the Jazz be interested in a trade of #5 & #21 (or a future first) to Philly for 3? That would ensure the Jazz get their guy out of Ace/VJ/Tre (likely Ace). I think I would do the deal to get Ace Bailey. Bailey is just oozing with potential with his length, athleticism, and shot making...
Kas can't beat a single person off the dribble in the NBA. He's mediocre at best. He's irrelevant to this discussion for the Jazz and belongs no where the top 5 prospects in this class.
I'll never be convinced that Kon Kneuppel isn't just Kevin Huerter/Luke Kennard. I believe this will bear out in his NBA career. I am confident in that. We're not drafting Hurter/Kennard with the #5 pick.
