Three-level scoring, slippery ability to get where they want on the floor, sneaky athleticism and toughness despite a slight build, and yeah, similar draft range. Hali is a more polished playmaker, as Kobe is still new to it.

of course not. the draft is a crapshoot. i'm not convinced anybody in the draft besides wemby is better than tht. but you draft guys on the chance they reach their potential. is black's ceiling > tht? yes.

How about that GG is the PP of this draft (polarizing prospect)
Just so you know, I'm the lurker known as Following Along. I wouldn't think Ainge would make that trip unless the Jazz's scouts put Bilal on a shortlist first.
He is an elite slasher and playmaker when he does get the ball. I also have faith in his spot up shooting.
I would say Podziemski is the most Haliburton esque player.
If you rely on statistical analysis to make your assessment of a player, GG is going to piss you off.
If you rely on watching in-game situations and on-court skill development in general, you'll like GG.

Oh... this is a nice little breadcrumb... maybe?
To me the case against GG is that we already have Lauri. GG upside is probably scoring in a lot of the same ways as Lauri. So if you are looking at it from Danny's perspective does he want to develop a guy who has a reputation for being immature when he is somewhat redundant to your current star? Or would he rather use the picks to draft stars who could be primary ballhandlers or more "stars in their role" type players?
(And no, I'm not off GG Island, but I can see why Utah might not be enthralled)

For a team that needs shooting more than anything else by a mile? Nah.
They clowns.
More Maxey/Quickley/Simons mold in my mind.
Yeah, Id say no chance. I see them taking Hendricks before Black.
You do know they have 11 too right? They could easily take Black at 6 and Dick at 11.

I mean other than the Sensabaugh to Utah thing, they were pretty in line with what the board concensus is. I think they feel like Sensabaugh has a Hardin-like ceiling and the Jazz need to reach for something like that here. It is like the guys considering GG at that spot.
I kinda feel like you could have gotten Walker there and Sensabaugh at 16 if you wanted a player like that though.
I agree with this. Lauri is bigger, a better shooter, more forceful going to the rim and already developed. Whereas someone like Jarace Walker, who can run 4/5 pick-and-rolls with Lauri and switch everywhere defensively, is a better complement.
