It's especially clear in this series, because SGA and Jalen Williams can and do operate in the mid range. Even Cason Wallace hit a couple of mid range jumpers that turned out to be very important in the end. It's a big weapon when games get scrappy or your offense is getting bogged down. Kawhi I...

I'm unenthusiastic by nature about swaps for the simple reason that they may turn out to be nothing. More of a bird in the hand kind of guy.

Taking on Lillard's contract and giving up Collins and Sexton for a pick swap seems light to me. I'd want that pick outright.

If none of them are available at 5, either Flagg or Harper is. So that would be a pretty decent outcome. 0% of that happening ofcourse. And I'm ok with drafting for need at 21, but at 5 you have to take the best available player.

That's fair. When it comes to the draft I do have a tendency to favor the best outcome for rookies, whilst turning a bit of a blind eye to the downsides.

Really hope we can get him, but we'll probably have to move up from 21 to do so. I'm a firm believer in taking a chance on players that can bring something special despite having some drawbacks and who wouldn't want a 6'9'' playmaker? Obviously he comes with question marks about shooting...

Same here. I've gone from disappointed we'd have to make do with a 5th pick and Tre Johnson to being afraid he might already be gone before 5. Actually think I prefer him over Ace, but I'd be fine with any of VJ/Tre/Ace.

Except that none of the Washington guys can shoot with anything near acceptable efficiency.

If you don't like that, then don't look at The Ringer's latest mock https://nbadraft.theringer.com/mock-draft

That’s fair. And I’d be happy with Harper. But for once I’d like the Jazz to win big.

Ordinarily I’d say take 2nd and run, but this year I’m all in on Flagg. Let the chips fall where they may.

My accidental second simulation landed us 1st again. It isn’t about luck, it’s fate.

Just tried Tankathon too. First and only try we got 1st, before Philly and Washington. I’m never lucky, so this time it’s meant to be. Edit. Accidentally hit the button for a second try: 1st again before Washington and Charlotte.

Same here. We dropped 2 spots last year and I feel we deserve to win those back this year, so getting 3rd worst would be our spot to be. Also not (very) superstitious though, just a little stitious (thanks Michael Scott).

Oops. Just posted the same thing in the G-league thread before seeing this.

Oscar is the G-league Wilt Chamberlain. Putting up some wild numbers.

The disrespect! He's shooting 17% from 3...

JHS just scored 19 for the Sixers going 5/9 from 3.

I don't recall doing it, but apparently I 'liked' post #11 in this thread so I'll just claim I was a believer from the start.
