If the Jazz take a point guard at 9, would you rather they take Anthony Black or Cason Wallace? I like both but I'm leaning towards Wallace at the moment.

They shouldn't value a pg in this draft at 9 over a harder to get prospect imo. Neither of these 2 are better overall prospects than some of the forwards that will be available either.
Now if one of them comes into workouts draining buckets like neither showed able to in college, sure F it do it. If not no way in hell.
Take a playmaker at 16 if you feel you need one, or take a shooter, but do not take a meh upside low floor guard at 9 . Especially one that is a minor upgrade to current options.
So many stuck on need for a point guard its shameful. There are plenty available in free agency if they want to take a flier on a raw point guard type t 16 to develop over time.

Does the fact that their lengths are basically the same change anyone's vote?

Black only has 1.5'' on Cason with vertical reach, and Cason is an inch longer in wingspan. Their "functional" length is basically equal. Head height is a great luxury for PG's to see over the defense, but so is being low to the ground while still having the length/reach of someone taller.

AB's big hair is a considerable obstacle to seeing clear passing lanes. That might put him over the top.

Tony Jones also loves JHS and that’s the most polite way I can exemplify that maybe TJ’s takes aren’t the best. Great mouthpiece for the org, though.

I don't love JHS either, but he can play. His combine measurements were better than Black or Wallace and his shot looks better as well.
 
JHS good measurements, doesn’t really do things that good measurements are supposed to do. Awful finishing around the basket and no defensive playmaking.

If there’s a third PG that might belong in this conversation it’s Bufkin.

Bufkin might be the most well-rounded high-quality guard in the whole draft.

Tony Jones kinda threw water on us taking Wallace. Said Jazz will NOT run with two short guards this year.

Wallace isn't all that small, he's 6'4 with shoes and has a good wingspan. Plus, Tony has also said the Jazz see Ochai as the starting shooting guard next year and going forward. I don't think size would be a problem at all with a Wallace/Ochai backcourt.

Plus he’s got that dawg in him.
 
I wasn't around the forum or Jazz a lot at the end of the season. But we really think Ochai is the starting SG of the present and future? To the point we're making roster decisions around him? What is going on lol.

I think it’s smoke, honestly. But people here believe it.
 
1) Cason Wallace is not small.
2) If Ochai is so small that you have to have a super duper sized PG next to him, what is he giving us on offense that's so special?

If "fit with Ochai" is a factor in our decision we are doomed. If you're concerned about how someone would fit with a 3&D wing, your concern starts with the 3&D wing.

Tony's mentioned it a few times in radio interviews. I definitely don't think it's set in stone. They likely give him the opportunity to start next year, maybe he takes a leap in his second season and takes advantage of the opportunity, if not, they will adjust accordingly.

He's the best option currently.
