2020 NBA Draft Live Thread

I’m all in on Bey. I like what he brings on the court and he comes across as a good guy in interviews too. Let’s go!

Report is we’ve been keeping tabs on him and we used one of our workouts on him. Leaning more towards probably 38 though but who knows.

Pritchard is better than Nico, imo. And I'd be surprised if we passed on a wing shooter like Nwora or Hughes for a backup guard like Nico. The Jazz can just re-acquire Neto if they have that itch.
 



Something to watch... if the second round guy projected in the 30s won't sign a two way he may slip much lower or even go undrafted... there may be a few of these guys.
 
With all the tampering we should know what we are doing with JC by now... if he isn't coming back I'd strongly consider swapping Ed/Tony for Delon Wright (rumor is Mavs want to dump some salary but that could change). I heard they might include draft compensation to do it. Maybe you move from 38 to 31 or from 27 to 18 (probably not).

Neto is much better and much sexier... do that instead.

Can he shoot from the outside or create his shot? His defense looks fantastic but if he is a liable on the offensive end then I have to think about selecting him. I love his defense.

Nico is also MAGA

Hell no then. I personal think he is not worth it and really is a place of need. Jazz need athletic SF/PF/SG. Guys who want and can play defense and can hit open shots when they are open. I like Bey, Woodard and I love Nwora in the second round. I would be upset if we left Pritchard on the board and took Nico.

That remains to be seen. He shot over 40% from 3 this year, but on a very small sample size. If there were no questions about his shot, he'd be going much higher. But I think a rookie that can play great defense will be able to stay on the floor better than one that's good on offense but a sieve on defense. You saw this with Grayson Allen in his rookie season. Definite offensive potential, but couldn't get minutes because he got played of the floor on defense. And I have some confidence Bey can improve his offensive game. I liked this interview with him:

Especially this bit:

'TB: Like I said, I like to improve. So you saw it when I was at Colorado. But now I’m feeling way more confident than I ever have been in my shot. I feel great. I tweaked it a little bit and it looks a lot better. It’s going in more. I’m confident seeing it go in. It’s just about getting reps.'
