Obviously we're not going to get picks in addition to Castle or Ausar. (The trades are very unlikely as I doubt the Jazz like Castle or Ausar and I doubt the Spurs or Pistons want to give them up without winning a playoff series) I do wonder if the Jazz could trade future picks to try to get...

Probably not, it probably would have been Cody, lol. But Castle sucks as a prospect in general (non-shooting guards are not valuable) and doesn't fit the Jazz's focus on bombing threes either. I don't think Ainge or Hardy have ever expressed much interest in offensive limited players.

The Jazz are probably going to have to trade Lauri to tank for real if Brice and Keyonte are willing and able to play defense this year. Lauri for Steph Castle or Lauri for Ausar makes some sense value wise, but I don't think the Jazz even like those guys so we would need a third team AND I...

Boozer is one of the greatest HS basketball players of all time, but is a little difficult to project defensively to the NBA as of now. He's a pure PF, but I'm not sure he can defend guys like Tatum. Hopefully he shows that and then I'll be very excited for him. Peterson has huge, SGA like...

Feels very risky to draft Jazz guys this year because of how weird the roster is and how many injuries/fake injuries/trades we could have. I could see Keyonte averaging 20/7 this year if he gets 34 MPG or 10/3 if he gets like 16 MPG

1 and 2 and 8 and 9 feel like near locks, 3-7 is more interesting. I could any ordering of future performance from Keyonte, Brice, Filipowski, Hendricks, and WCJ and would not be surprised.

I mean, maybe, but this is also a really bad situation for Kessler with how our scheme is set up and how few ball handlers we have. If we get Peterson, he'll probably want to stay, but otherwise is dicey. How much the Jazz are willing to pay him is also up in the air. Would they go beyond like...

I expect the Lakers to give Kessler a 3/90 offer sheet where year 3 is an TO fwiw.

I imagine the team is looking for a starting center of the future still. Filipowski is too small. We're years away from even trying to win so the team does have time to find a Kessler replacement if they don't like him.

Dyson Daniels is also one of the worst offensive guards in the NBA that is in a rotation fwiw.

Officially no extension. A little bit of a dangerous game to play with no extension and no trade and with the Lakers probably having cap space this offseason.

Yeah because they weren't asked to throw games and are on teams where they could compete within the next several years, lol. The Hawks and Nuggets hope to make the conference finals, the Jazz hope to finish 29th in defense. Utah is the worst possible situation for Kessler (coach that minimizes...

He's probably not good now, but could be good in like 3-4 years.

List the players on the team who can both dribble and score. List the players on the team that can defend. Group 1 is largely just.... Keyonte I guess? Group 2 is Walker Kessler and SloMo. Trying to get players the ball is going to be miserable because the competent passers on the team...

Meh, the Jazz's offense hasn't been horrible. We were 17th in offense two years ago and despite that, were still 30th in defense. Last year, Keyonte, Brice, Sexton, and Cody Williams played like four of the worst defenders in the NBA. Sexton is gone, we'll see how the other guys step up on...

I don't think people know how to rank Kessler because his defenses have been so bad. I think it's mostly because Hardy intentionally minimizes Kessler, but others may blame Kessler for how historically terrible the Jazz have been defensively in his career. It's... really hard to finish 30th in...

It's really hard to tell defensively with any of the guys because the whole is so bad defensively. We really need some defensive focused vets next year to see which parts of the roster are the ones contributing to these terrible defensive ratings.

Hardy plus the tanking make it really hard to evaluate how good any of these guys are at defense, but it's not really encouraging to be staring down three straight #30 finishes in defense. I should look up if that has ever happened before, lol.

You mean Malik Beasley, right.

AJ fits OK as another 3/4. Boozer is way too giant and slow to play anything but PF though.
