Tony Jones says VJ doesn't make it past 4. It will be between tre and/or ace at 5

Tony Jones has read the same reports that we have concerning VJ to the Hornets. I'm pretty sure that is what the Hornets have telegraphed on multiple fronts. They kinda telegraphed Scoot Henderson 2 years ago too, so who knows?

I’ve actually become a little intrigued by Riley’s offensive game. High feel player. But then I remember he’s a horrible defensive prospect. He and McNeely are having an extreme mid-off in my mind. Don’t think either are top 30 prospects.

Both fit Jazz culture (last place defensive finishes from five star recruits)

Kon is the Vegas favorite for going #4 overall and -165 for being picked in the top 5

Good. That would guarantee the Jazz one of VJ or Tre. Wouldn’t surprise me in the least bit if DA likes Ace Bailey and takes him regardless of all the drama. If you truly believe he has PG13/Durant type upside, you take him and live with the drama.
 
I’m going to laugh my *** off if the whole offseason has been about debating, arguing and stressing out over the whole VJ vs. Tre vs. Ace vs. Kon vs. Fears debate. . . only to have the Jazz trade up to #2 and draft Dylan Harper.

I’m not going to rule out a Lauri to the Spurs deal that swaps 2 for 5 plus other stuff.
 
I can’t decide how mean to be about the SGA comp to Tre that has now infiltrated James Hansen which means a bunch of dummies gonna run with it.
 
However game 7 goes, it’s going to lead to a lot of hot draft takes when in reality it shouldn’t have much of an impact.

Could be wrong, but I don't think the Hornets would draft Tre Johnson when they already have LaMelo. There've been reports of them having interest in Kon, if anybody.

But I wouldn't be surprised if they traded down with another team who ends up taking Ace.

Not sure why that'd change their draft plans, Tre isn't a PG, he's a 2 guard.

But they don't need another guy that just shoots and plays zero D

Kon or VJ fit better next to LaMelo

It seems like every single year we have some very strong draft takes after the finals that are very specific to what just transpired. And they are usually different to the takes and lessons taken just the year before. This should come to tell you... there are many different ways to win in this league and the way you win in the future very well might be slightly or significantly different than the way the current champions won their rings... I feel like one of the constants that you can say about pretty much every championship team is - great players playing really hard... competitiveness. It's almost self-evident, but it's surprising how often we miss to emphasize that last simple bit.
