2021 NBA Draft Preview (new thread)

Hard not to be hyped about the pick. But it definitely feels weird to be gassing up the 40th pick so hard.

Some times things that feel weird are good… I’ve learned to just go with it.

Right, but it’s because he’s not really a No. 40 pick. He’s a consensus first rounder that fell because of health concerns.

And we pick up a couple future seconds to maybe get off Favors.

Vrenz got Ingles potential (as a basketball player, nobody has Ingles potential off-the-court). I'm not obsessed with his potential, but you gotta have potential in your 3rd string and this team is gonna hurt when they lose Joe. Would be nice to have a glimmer of hope that someone in the pipeline might be able to do some of the same things with some development.

Also, the stage is set for a purge of the deep bench. The time is now to get started on a new crop.

So are the Jazz really not going to go get another wing?

Quin better play these guys early and often when season starts
They need to be ready for the playoffs

Anyone know if the ability to sign players for 800k (or whatever) can be done with undrafted free agents, or is that just a 2nd rounder thing?

Cuz if it's unique to 2nd rounders then the Jazz should be hot on the phones right now.

Buy a pick and take Reaves

Have to be drafted… I have banana bread in my fingers or I’d explain why…
