I like Kon. I wouldn't be surprised if the Jazz selected him.

You gotta get him a Cy pill ASAP ... unless you think all teams agree and the Jazz pick him with #21.

He can decide. We won’t fight over this since we’re both in the Kas camp.

I'll go with Kasparas “the friendly ghost” Jakucionis ... but I'd change "friendly" into "nasty"

Yeah, and this Hansen guy is pretty funny with his Lauri hate too. He doesn’t realize it’s become an obsession for him and that it makes him look a bit weird when he pushes it so hard.

That’s a good list, but you forgot “unselfishness/team player” – crucial to winning a championship. We saw what happened to the Cavs when they threw away their team play with Mitchell’s hero ball in their games against the Pacers.

Right, it's an uphill climb for him. But like teams always do with their young players, we'll give him a chance and see how it goes, and if it's not happening for him, we'll move on.

Who knows, maybe Cody can punch like Latrell did.

Yeah, but comps can be a useful tool when done right - when they compare a draft prospect with NBA players who, before entering the NBA, were similar to the prospect in question (age, skillset, archetype, playing style, physical attributes, etc), and then see how these NBA players developed over...

This thread is getting a bit out of hand here. Anyone who's followed basketball long enough should know that a 19-year-old's first year in the NBA doesn't always predict what he'll become later.

Well, he didn't say that.

I agree. They’ll probably extend JJJ and keep Ja for now unless he wants to leave. And they now have assets to make other trades too, either this offseason or later.

The Grizzlies could have a big fish hook deep in the ocean now.

Interesting. I like it because this upcoming draft has a bunch of players in the #10-25 range who I think have a good shot at being great players.

Sad to see you hop off the Kas bus lol. I guess you started to doubt his shooting ability. To me, there are a lot of signs that he will be a good shooter in the NBA. He's got solid mechanics, sank 85% of his free throws, and shot well in many games before the shooting fell off (not sure if his...

It’s all about predicting what a draft prospect will be in a few years, not what he is now. I like Kasparas because imo he has the overall package to be a great player in 4-5 years. All the mock drafts out there mean little to me (many of them are more or less copies of each other and created by...

Yeah, you’re right about Zach Lowe. He was nuts when he said the Jazz can "finish 14th real easily" in the West even if they kept all the current players. Playing the next season with all our vets, internal growth, and Austin’s no-minutes/lineup-manipulation policy would mean there's no way...

Right, but tbh I have no idea where we’re headed now. It seems Ryan wants to turn his ship around and steer clear of tanking. We could be back on the hunt for big game.

I'm with you on this one. I would try to move Collins, Sexton, and Clarkson this offseason, but if we couldn’t trade Collins and Sexton, I would trade Lauri (I’m pretty sure some teams would be interested). But if we can trade Collins and Sexton, I’d keep Lauri, and if he threatens the tank, I...

Solid board. I see you bumped Kas from #3 to #4. I still have Kas comfortably at #3.
