Listening to the No Ceilings podcast team by team mock draft. Walker is falling, Washington selects Black! I can feel the elation on Jazzfanz!

With the next pick the Jazz select Brice Sensabaugh. . .

I like the No Ceilings guys but they act like just because the Jazz got Kessler they are gravy on defense. They definitely are not and I don't think you can just take Brice at 9 with the reasoning that Kessler can cover him. I don't think Kessler is going to be that level of game changing defender where that is the case. Rudy even struggled to do that for Clarkson/Donovan/Bogey

Having one good defender 'covering' for bad defenders is kind of silly in general. Maybe Wemby will break that mold, but Gobert was helpless surrounded by terrible perimeter defenders in the playoffs too, as you mentioned.

That's not how you build a team: "Oh here's a good defender without much offense. So a horrific defender who has some offensive skill fits right in..." That is just such awful analysis.
 
My impression watching Kobe Bufkin is that he could be comparable to the Tyrese Halliburton of this draft. I understand if the Jazz want Wallace to be their culture-setter, and they need to decide what style of lead guard they want, but I would take Bufkin long before I'd take Hood-Schifino.

I also still consider Bilal Coulibaly to be the value-pick Thompson twin of this draft.

We are the only team in the NBA that did noy hold a single team under 100 pointa all season. We could use some wing defense.

I think Whitehead will likely go ahead of Sensabaugh due to the defensive concerns with Brice.

Comparable in which way? Someone who is taken later and becomes one of the best players in the class?

Three-level scoring, slippery ability to get where they want on the floor, sneaky athleticism and toughness despite a slight build, and yeah, similar draft range. Hali is a more polished playmaker, as Kobe is still new to it.
