And with that said. Lauri traded to DET. Sexton traded to GSW. John Collins traded to SAC....

Here's a question... if SAS are that unconvinced by Harper and willing to entertain trades... shouldn't we be bidding for that pick? Be it using picks or using... player(s)?

Yah, like with everything, it's not a perfect one to one translation and you have to actually watch them play to see if there is any other reason for that stat(for example, some high volume scorers have super low TOs because when in doubt they just shoot...(i.e. eliminate the chance for TO) and...

He seems like a real high bball IQ/feel guy to me. I'm not surprised by his high AST/TOV. I kind of feel like high bball IQ/feel is one of the most underrated things in the draft. In fact... if you look at the top players in the league I think this is the one thing that is massively...

Don't get me wrong, I'd be good with us taking him... I just kind of ... Wouldn't mind if Philly or Charlotte took him...

Watched some more VJ... Urgh... He makes me uneasy. Not gonna lie. He looks so robotic with pretty much everything he does. Not much looks smooth or natural on offense. Not he shot, not the handle... I have the sneaky feeling he will end up outside my top 5 at the end. He's like... the...

One has to be Jase...

Are they from this draft?

Haha, that was a running joke around here. I think you were only on realGM at the time. I was a big Skal fan ... as you can see in my OP here. Damn... I still think he had sky high... "potential".

You were probably one of those people who thought he was George Hill in the worst case scenario. :P

Kon is a baller.

Even if we just watch him on film... It's pretty clear what Tre's path to success is and it's pretty clear that if he doesn't succeed in that path he will have hard time impacting the game in other ways to justify that type of pick. If he's not primary or at least high level secondary initiator...

I think Lauri knows what's happening. I bet he doesn't like it, but... that's what all those millions in his bank account are for. I think we will be more competent than last year... (probably still bottom 5). I think he likely plays more, although I can still see him not playing back to backs...

It feels like his value is at an all (Jazz)time low and I don't think this is conducive to the Jazz trading him. I think we only trade him if we get something we value really highly ... we won't trade him just to trade him... just to add like... 2 bad first round picks or something of the sort...

Just watched a bit of Derik Queen... I just... can't... I won't even watch a full game. I just can't do this. I can't think of a reason a team should take him in the top 10 here. He looks like a back to the basket big ...with some skill... but with no great size or athleticism. The thing is... I...

With his last two top 5 picks he went with versatile wings with size and you can say he's been proven right with both those picks and lets not forget this - he went AGAINST consensus with BOTH Brown and Tatum. The only real wing from those is Ace... he's not exactly versatile, but I can see...

Honestly... I don't think a list needs to be "bold" or have any hot takes to be valuable. As long as it's well reasoned and researched, an honest take is as valuable as it gets... whether it includes outliers or not. I still haven't seen Kas and Jase...

I kind of feel like the tiers are more important than the order within the tiers.

Do you have tiers?

They are not nothing and some of them can be part of our future. But they are not at the level where you make decisions for the no. 5 pick because of them. If you think a player X is the best prospect at 5 you take him. I would not even consider if for example some part of his skillset overlaps...
