Familiarize yourself if you ain't on the bandwagon.

Nothing boring about his game imo. I just don't get that critique.
Literally my 3 favorite things to see in a basketball game as a fan are dunks, blocks, and threes in that order. Those are the things he is best at. That is very exciting for a fan like me who really likes watching dunks, blocks, and threes.

It's tough because Exum without major injury issues probably easily lives up to that pick.

Eh, I thought he sucked from day one. Pre injury.
Of course I hated the pick in the first place. Can't play against worse competition pre NBA than what he played against.

It may depend on who gets to 9... but I doubt they'd take Black to wait and see. I think it actually may end up being 9 and a future pick for Black if it gets done.

If we stay at 9 I still think its Cam or Ausar. I think Taylor ends up in Indiana and Walker end up going before him.

The Jazz own 4 first round picks in 2027. The best time to move one of those (and we need to move one of those) is right the Hell now. The closer we get, the more jammed up we will be (like OKC was last year and Indiana was this year.)

I agree somewhat... like I wouldn't force it obviously... but if you get decent value I would not be holding all those back.
 
Taylor Hendricks is literally the best player statistically than any player any of us ever talk about drafting.
15 points per game on great efficiency, 7 rebounds, 1.7 blocks are better stats than any of Wallace, Bilal, walker, black, Bufkin, JHS, cam, etc etc etc.
He averaged more points than all those dudes. And apparently did it while not being able to created or having high usage. And that's a bad thing?

Is that why people are down on him? Is it because he is already good instead of he could potentially be good in the future?

Its just weird. Give me the guy that produces and does so efficiently over the guy that doesn't produce and is inefficient but might turn that around someday and increase the production and efficiency.
 
I'm almost positive that the Jazz wish to move up in the draft using the 9 and a 2017 pick. I'd guess they want Walker but are smoke screening Black. I also think they would use assets to move up from 16 to get Bufkin or Wallace (the 28 pick or something more.) Bilal is a smoke screen. It throws the scent off of Walker as well.

This also assumes they have no plans to go after Kuzma. If they plan on that, I have no idea where they go, but Black makes a lot of sense. I think the only way we get Hendricks is to trade him to Detroit.

Bilal is not a smokescreen, trust me. He might not be the guy at 9, but he's definitely higher than 16 on their board.

So why has it been so difficult for the Jazz to find a guy like that?

Which version of the Jazz? Olynyk was pretty impactful as a stretch shooter and interior defender last year. He just isn't the most switchy on the perimeter. Olynyk can also playmake.
