The issue here is that both guys are so duplicative and play an archetype where duplication is very bad and where teams around the league refuse to trade for this archetype. So the overlap is so horrendous that any sense of BPA vs. fit has to lean towards fit this late in a draft class as...

Drafting a guy you hope is your 6th man gunner off the bench when you already have a prospect you hoped would be your 6th man gunner off the bench feels like a pretty strong signal. Both guys are 6'3" SGs with mediocre wingspans, they're too small to be anything but gunners off the bench...

I mean, I don't know how else to take the Walter Clayton Jr pick, lol.

Collier: Please, I'm begging you, just make the extra pass, come on guys, don't abort the set early. Ace/Lauri/Collins/Keyonte/Clayton Jr/Svi/Kind of Hendricks/Kind of Kessler: The possession ends here Cody: If you pass me the ball, I will piss myself and then vomit. This is not a very talented...

Given Lauri's very extensive injury history, I would bet against Lauri being very good in 4 years when Ace and their 2026 pick might be good. (I also hate the Lauri-Ace fit long-term as your two max guys even if the timeline worked out, 55%+ of your cap going to guys with no playmaking is...

Ace is extremely raw and many years away.

Jarace is just too soft.

The mistake Ainge made was not exactly the CBA, it's that he didn't value defense at all at a time when the league started viewing high-level defense as a prerequisite for a guy getting >10m. We finished last in defense back to back years so teams think every defender on our team sucks other...

Hendricks and Markkanen are way too big and probably slow to play SF these days so you're stuck dividing minutes between PFs: Markkanen, Filipowski, Hendricks, Collins Cs: Kessler, Nurkic You're trying to build up Markkanen's trade value to move him and Collins wants to play big minutes to get...

Was in the hospital for a couple days as my wife gave birth to our new baby. Anyway, this return is very depressing but the idea here is that the Jazz want to lose games next year but can't throw games because Sexton and Collins are free agents next year and need to play well to get their last...

There's zero chance Collins and Sexton are on this roster by the start of the season, they have to be traded to a team trying to win or their agents are going to lose their minds. This is their last significant contract, they can't be resting 35 games. We may have to get rid of Sexton for 0 or...

In terms of salaries and team fit, the Heat, Wolves, and Pistons are abysmal fits for Sexton. It's kind of the Lakers or bust and the Lakers have to trade Reaves for a center first. Maaaaybe the Heat could be interested, I guess, but I really hate the Sexton-Herro fit. The Nuggets and Bucks...

My guesses Sexton to the Lakers for Gabe Vincent, Maxi Kleber, and two seconds John Collins to the Grizzlies for KCP and a top 4 protected Magic pick (KCP sent to another team?) Clarkson maybe waived.

There was no real path towards Ace making any demands here and he's going to get the shots he wants. This was never a real issue imo.

I view him as Keyonte or Sexton tier as PG who are... capable of passing to an open man and not capable of getting a team into sets (which is why Collier was force fed minutes because he's the only guy on the roster capable of getting the team into sets)

WCJ at PG would be funny. We should play WCJ Sensabaugh Ace Lauri Hendricks Just five snipers who are all so incredibly bad in terms of BBIQ that we can't execute any sets. What happens when every player on the court is a blackhole with no skills other than hitting 43% from three.

No ****, Clayton is probably a better player, but Collier is literally the only perimeter player on the roster who can pass at all and get the team into sets. He has to play as Clayton and Keyonte and Sexton and Sensabaugh and Ace and Lauri and Collins and Clarkson and everyone else is so bad at...

Collier is like the only guy on the roster with any conscience other than Filipowski. Everyone else is a "the possession ends here" blackhole, including Clayton. Collier has to play as much as possible for the team to even get into sets.

Ace's delusional confidence is at least entertaining for what will probably be a pretty dull season next year as we tank again. "Pass me the ****ing ball, I'm about to toast this bozo!" Ace in game 20 next year as OG Anunoby looks on in confusion before picking his pocket. We'll see how...

The Jazz should make a fake compromise with Ace where they trade Clarkson and Sexton and frame it to Ace as "letting him be the guy" but they really wanted to trade those guys all along, lol.
