I'd try to trade up from #9 to take Cam Whitmore or Ausar Thompson. If we stay at #9, I'd take GG Jackson or maybe Keyonte George. If we stay at #16, I like Bilal. There's a legit chance that Bilal can be like Penny Hardaway in a year or two. It's a swing that might miss, but it's worth taking.

Neither George nor Bufkin is likely to be available at #16. The Jazz would need to package #16 and #28 (or a protected future 1st) and move up a few spots. There's smoke around OKC liking George and Toronto liking Bufkin.

Jazz should also see what Dallas is asking for to move off of #10. Jazz could take GG and Dick/Keyonte/Wallace back to back. Jazz are going to have to pay to move around and get the players they want, but they have the assets to do it. Those assets don't have value if they never get used.

Bilal plays fast yet calm. He is not even going as fast as he could go. I think he can play at a higher gear. The playmaking with Wemby is impressive. The French league is very restrictive on rookies and yet he recently won a league wide award for best player.

As the leader of the Bilal brigade....yeah this is very dumb. He plays some PG right now, but he will not be a PG in the NBA. He's 6'8 with a 7'2 wingspan and still growing. He could stand to eat some cheesburgers, but beyond that he's everything you want from a wing from a physical standpoint.

Move up and take Scoot… otherwise we let the draft come to us. Part of me thinks we just throw a bag at FVV since pg is like the most obvious win now need for us.

I agree on FVV. He's not the ideal PG everyone wants, but do not let perfect be the enemy of good. If FVV wants to play here, sign him up. We've now added a borderline all star player in value for cap space alone. If it turns out we need something else down the line we can pivot.
 
If we don't go PG at 9 or 16, I really like Amari Bailey at 28. He's not going to be a star who you run your offense through. What he can be is a low resource guard two way guard that makes everyone better. He knows how to make the right play, he's a great interior passer, and he's a highly competitive A+ character guy. If the dream is to have dominant scoring wings, Amari Bailey is the type of PG you want next to them.

FWIW PG is literally the most valuable position in the NBA: https://www.spotrac.com/nba/positional/

That said, I think you pick the best player available, and by available I mean moving up using our abundance of draft picks if there is an opportunity. As someone else said, the only position you don't draft early would be a non-shooting big. When it gets to our pick, if there are prospects that are available, but rated equally, we desperately need guys who can pass and play make for others.

Might be the most valuable position but to me it's also the most plentiful position and easiest to get. Way more humans are point guard sized than any other position after all.
Even just looking at the jazz last year, Conley, Sexton, NAW, THT, Dunn all did just fine as our point guard.

You’re buying the GG hype?

Always have. Been a GG guy forever
Main thing I'm looking at is measurables. A big wing that can handle and shoot and score.

GG has stuff that worries me but he has everything I want from a physical standpoint. I hope his issues are mostly due to his age and that our staff can fix that stuff.
 
If GG had actual strengths, we'd consider his shooting a question mark but because he was so bad at so many things it's one of his strengths lol.

Anthony Black is a good shooter too now. That’s awesome. He should go top-5.

He can’t shoot though. Why does every GG believer say that. I’m not running around saying Black can shoot.

It's not about size, it's about skill. Guys that can pass, dribble, shoot, and make quick decisions at an elite level will always be the most valuable players in the NBA.

It's so crazy how being bad can boost an opinion. Black's shooting numbers are not that different from GG. GG's numbers probably a little better because of more volume, but ultimately not a crazy difference given how volatile shooting is. It is a clear weakness for Black because he is actually good at other things. Some people are even burying Black for his shooting to the point where they won't draft him because of it. If GG was one of the best defenders/passers in the draft like Black no one would call shooting a strength of his. The only reason it's a strength and not a question mark is bc he's not just bad, but awful at the other things.

The difference in the way people see these two's shooting is not the actual shooting, it's being bad/good at everything else.
