Walker is looking better with each passing game especially with other guys in the top-10 not doing much.

This tournament has been huge, elizah huge.
I'm getting the sense that Keyonte could slip a bit. He's not been very efficient and teams might not have him a clear tier above the guys going 9 - 13.

I’d love to get Jerace Walker and hope his offensive game comes around like Kawhi Leonard’s did. Wouldn’t be surprised at all yo see him move up to 4.
His offensive game is already further along than Kawhi's was at San Diego State. Jarace should be a more effective scorer in the NBA than he's been at Houston. The NCAA is just the wrong league to showcase what he can do. I think he's got some Jimmy Butler to his offensive game. He's got three levels and playmaking 20 feet in.
If the Twolves have to play the Lakers or play at Golden State in the play-in tourney, the Jazz could be looking at getting the #13 or possibly even the #12 pick. Hawks, Raptors and Thunder could all pass them record-wise.
Wemby, Scoot, and Miller would be a sneaky great haul for our three picks.

Think the Jazz have to jump into the top 4 to land Jerace Walker, but I’d love that result. Think he’d be a monster to team up with Lauri.

I understand the weaknesses that he'll have to overcome to make it as a rotation player at the NBA level, but man, I would love to take a chance on Jaime Jaquez. He just does so much so well, plays the game the right way, completely selflessly, and competes so hard.

After the Boston win anyone reconsidering the “take the 4th pick” hypothetical… we are more likely to end with the 12th best odds than the 8th best…

I legit have no idea what they are. They don’t show up on mobile.
Amari Bailey was terrific again last night on both ends. However, he’s definitely a record scratch guy on offense sometimes. He needs to get better and more confident in his catch and shoot jumper. There were times were he could have been more aggressive as a scorer as well.
But his defense was terrific. Put one Northwestern’s PG in jail and was also active off the ball. In transition he’s fantastic as a passer and scorer. His passing was seriously great last night. Made tough entry passes in to Jacquez look easy. He would be amazing at getting the ball to Lauri in similar situations.
Jacquez was really great last night. I recommend everyone watch his dunk to understand his athleticism. He won’t win any dunk contests, but he can effortlessly jump off of one foot and make athletic finishes through traffic. His off ball defense is great, very active. On the ball he had a tough time with quickness so that’s something to watch. I’m not sure the iso scoring will translate, but he’s pretty darn good. Most important thing for him is to make his catch and shoot 3’s at the next level.

Not if you like Kyle Korver…
