The primary weakness of this team is clear. It started last offseason. The Jazz let Favors walk in an attempt to put a better fit next to Gobert for playoff basketball. Nikola Mirotic became their primary free agency target because not only could he stretch the floor and shoot, but also...

The Jazz literally just need two league average backup bigs who have size are athletic and can defend. That's it. Achiuwa is one of the few players in this class who is capable of switching 1-5. He's also one of the few players in this class with the physical tools to defend big wings like...

Not really

I can't watch the Niang/Bradley combo anymore. It's so brutal. Draft Achiuwa.

Biden definitely has dementia. This election sucks.

Jalen Smith is being seriously undervalued in this class imo. Primarily just because of the skinny legs too lol. I've seen the idea posed that he can't guard centers because they'll abuse him... he defended more physical centers in the Big Ten than he'll find in the NBA LMAO. Garza, Teske...

I would argue that Oni providing 80% of Royces defense wouldn't be enough for a team that is trying to contend. Royce also shoots a high percentage from three so despite low volume he is someone that defense has to stay on. Not sure Oni would be. I don't know why we would be desperate to move...

Xavier Tillman is someone who hasn't really been talked about here but assuming he stays in the draft then he's someone we should talk about in regards to the Jazz. He'd probably be the most unsexy pick imaginable but the guy can play basketball. He's probably the best screener in the class...

He can shoot for sure. One of the best college shooters in the class. I'm just not sure what he does when a defense switches on him in the NBA. I'm not sure he can break anyone down off the dribble. His frame worries me too, he's not gonna be very good defensively. If we got him in the second...

Trading Royce opens a new hole on the roster that is hard to fill. We can't easily replace the only 3&D player on our roster. Not a good idea. Unless we are giving up entirely on this core and prepared to move on from Gobert/Ingles/Conley/Bogey too.

I've seen multiple sources say the intangibles are terrible there. Beyond what I was personally told. I liked him early on but I'm totally out now.

Yeah like I said before I really like Reed. Players who are elite event generators on defense like he was don't generally fail. I think at worst he would end up as a strong defensive backup at the 5 for Rudy. I don't think he's the best isolation defender amongst the bigs (I think Achiuwa, T...

It's such an issue that I think that they might double down and draft a big and then go sign one too. Because I don't think they can really afford to put all the eggs in one basket. Given the age of most of our core the window is really the next few years. They gotta find a fix for this fast.

I fully expect the Jazz to draft a big too. Whether it's Pokusevski, Smith, Achiuwa, Reed, even Tyler Bey. I think that's the direction they go. I mean look how we got to where we are... The Jazz #1 target in free agency last summer was Nikola Mirotic. Not Bojan Bogdanovic. And I believe that...

The Jazz need to draft Precious Achiuwa or Paul Reed. It's so obvious watching Jazz games what the primary issue for this team is. Our backup bigs just aren't versatile enough for us. Tony Bradley has shown good flashes but he's really inconsistent. And even when he plays well all that he...

I never called him an expert lol. And yes, I form my own opinions. I'm also open to reading other peoples takes. Not sure what you're getting at here.

It's free

Suggest reading. Great article. And I'm looking forward to his future breakdowns. Describes in deep detail why I am a huge fan of players like Riller and Dotson.

If you're looking for stars then total projects that don't possess a standout NBA skill/trait isn't the place to look. Also history says there's only 5 all stars on average per draft. Usually most of them go near the top of the draft. Oh and I'd like to point out that several players who were...

I think Ramsey is a good athlete but the athleticism doesn't really show up in game situations very much. In all the games I've seen he hasn't popped except when he comes over for the occasional weakside block. He's more explosive than fluid and he needs room to load up. I think that the...
