Not that anyone besides me and @SoberasHotRod were on the Proctor train, but he declared he's going back to Duke. Wont test draft waters

Couple of interesting things from Vecenie…
Has talked to some evaluators who have Miller over Scoot. Both didn’t finish their seasons strong at all.
Some have said they could see Black going as high as 5. Said he might be the smartest and most reactive player in the draft.
Walker might have the highest defensive upside in the draft outside of Wemby.
Hendricks is the one player most scouts say will go higher than he’s projected.
Wallace is ranked anywhere from 8-20 by evaluators.
There might not be a better fit for Dick than Utah.

This is an interesting prospect. Wouldn't draft as he is very far away from being NBA ready, but someone to keep an eye on wherever they go

He is not as smart of a analyst as you think. He thought Toppin was going 5th as well smh his valuations are no better than Chad Ford's . I hope you pay for that garbage crap they pushing over there. sucker

If this holds true Wallace may be a better value than Black. I love Black but the Jrue comparison with Wallace has me intrigued. He’s got some Marcus Smart to his game in that I watch for 5-10 minutes he’s fairly anonymous… then he has a 2 minute spurt where he does like 5 things that are pretty awesome. He’s just one to kind of overlook a bit and the shot form/percentages are pretty good. Definitely has some defensive chops and i think he has that dawg in him.
We are guaranteed at least one of Black/Hendricks/Wallace which is a good thing I think.

I have my preferences, but I’d be happy with that result if the Jazz picked one of them with their first pick.

As long as we stay at 9/10... I think it is a good thing.
I think if the board fell the way Vecenie had it I would have gone Dick/Bufkin/Sidy. He had us in the 12 spot. If we can't get Wallace or Black I think Bufkin is the best bet and should be above George and JHS. Give me Hendo/Bufkin and whatever french wing is left at 27.
Given where the Jazz's picks look to be landing and how other guys have looked, I'm okay with Cason Wallace, Gradey Dick, Keyonte George or Taylor Hendricks depending on which direction the Jazz want to go. To miss out on Walker and Whitmore by one or two picks has to be driving Danny Ainge *******.
I'm having a hard time with Anthony Black still. Physically and statistically, there's some similarity to Dyson Daniels whom I liked last year. However, I think Black is a defensive-minded 2/3 rather than a primary on-ball guy. I'm looking at his shooting splits vis a vis Daniels and Mathisse Thybulle. I get that Black is an explosive driver, but otherwise I'm having a hard time with his shooting touch for a lead-guard role and top-10 pick.
