Tony Jones said on Twitter today he’d be an amazing fit on the Jazz.. not sure why he said that.

It is probably because he thinks we need a better defender in the guard core and that would be the only reason.
Point guard is putting him in a box, but since he cant shoot much, but can pass some and plays good defense against smaller guards in college I guess thats what he is smh . That and has "the look" and likes to use his defensive IQ to draw fouls, despite his meh handles, poor p/n game and lack of finishing ability with any control. he does like to fight for rebs I give him that.
I think there are greater odds Black is the biggest bust taken in the top 10 if orgs fall for his facade.

If Taylor Hendricks measures out at 6'10" in shoes, he becomes really appealing. The question with him has been what he can do off the dribble, but if he's 6'10" he doesn't actually have to do much off the dribble. He'll just pick his spots and shoot over people like Anthony Davis does.

defnitely somebody we all should hope gets the attention of DA, well if higher floor options with similar potential, are already taken anyway. I might even consider taking this guy at 8 to 12 with our first pick if he is willing to work out for the Jazz in person and doesn't make the Jazz scouts go see him in Miami Orlando etc.

I would take Wallace, NSJ, Black, and Auser and put them behind the others there in Keyonte,Walker, Dick and probably put Hawkins, Hendricks, GG right there with Wallace NSJ Black Auser etc. Then throw Howard, L.Miller,Sidy, Sasser, Jones, Brice, Whitehead, Hood, Smith all in that same range of who the **** knows where they will go.
I have George and Walker as the best prospects in the list you show, followed by Dick,Hendricks and Hawkins.
I think Whitmore is in the same tier as NSJ and Wallace but might go sooner.
 
Walker - I think he is one of the best defenders in this draft with a shot that looks good. So much potential.
Whitmore - Seems to have the full package
Thompson - His shot just scares me. His athletism excites me
Wallace - I am just a big fan and think he would be perfect on the Jazz
Hendricks - I just moved him up 2 spots because he is perfect in the Jazz backcourt with Kessler and Lauri
Smith Jr - Has the IT factor for me but his frame worries me
George - Honestly I am not a fan saw an early game and I hated the way he played. His shots seemed to be hero ball type of shots. It has been hard to get that taste out of my mouth
Dick - With a little viagra I could love this pick. The problem is I have been up and down on him. Defense scares me.
Black - Is a solid pick and has a lower floor but is kinda ho hum

I think he has an nba ready body and two nba ready skills. He’s likely going to be great as a roll man. I don’t see him needing to develop a dribble game to be super effective at the nba level. If he develops off the dribble he moves into an all star type tier. I’d just rather have guys that have good off ball stuff and develop the on ball stuff as you go.

He’s not just a stand still shooter either. He’s a knock down guy that can shoot with some motion. I can see him developing similar to Lauri with his height and shooting ability.

I get it. I'm obsessed with finding All Stars. Hendricks can be one if he keeps developing. Someone on the roster needs to self-create at a high level.

I understand… I just think he can build out the rest of his game from where he is. Like Mikal Bridges might not create as well as Jordan Poole or Tyler Herro but all of us would take him over those two no questions asked. I also think you can find self creators like JC to support the guys doing the other stuff and make it work.
