Who do you think takes him?
I think he goes anywhere from 6-8. Houston at 4 is a dark horse but that might be pushing it.

Bilal/JHS would be an elite draftIf we mash up some of these rumors, then the draft would go like this:
1 SAS - Wemby
2 CHA - Scoot/Miller
3 POR - Miller/Scoot
4 HOU - Amen
5 DET - Cam
6 ORL - Hendricks
7 IND - Walker
8 WAS - Wallace
Then yeah, the Jazz could draft Ausar at #9. But let's play along with the gossip and say the Jazz take Bilal instead...
9 UTA - Coulibaly
10 DAL - Ausar
11 ORL - Dick
12 OKC - George (btw, I think this is who they're targeting. They want shooting and shot creation. Hawkins is another possibility.)
13 TOR - Black
14 NOL - Lively (They don't have a big who can guard on the perimeter, and they need to contend with Wembanyama.)
15 ATL - Bufkin/JHS/NSJ/Miller 2
16 UTA - One of JHS, Bufkin or George should still be available. Nick Smith Jr. too.
Jazz could probably package 16 + 28 to leapfrog ATL if they need to. So the logic of drafting a wing at 9 and a guard at 16 does make some sense.
OKC had Shai so they should have passed on Giddey right?
Not sold on Bilal yet, but I'm sure I could be talked into itBilal/JHS would be an elite draft
OKC really lacks a center dont they? Lively fits the bill perfectly.
Why would DAL take Black when the have Luka?
Because you need multiple ball handlers and he can play defense. Also would be the BPA. Having Black push the ball a bit and setup some of the actions could help Luka conserve energy. If they don’t trade the pick they need to take BPA as that will be the best asset to move later. I think that pick has a 70% chance of moving on draft night though.Why would DAL take Black when the have Luka?

Do we not like George or we just figure he slots out somewhere between our two picks? I kinda like George. . .
