2024 Mock Draft #2

[Chargers Jazz Angels]

The Hornets select Dalton Knecht

 

[Chargers Jazz Angels]

Really considered Buzelis at this pick but decided that Shooting was a higher priority.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Portland selects Zachry Cheyne Edey

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Yes, I know Portland has Ayton, but Ayton is freaking terrible and I really dislike him.

Portland selects Zachry Cheyne Edey

Well Portland didn't need a small guard so I congratulate you on going in the exact opposite direction. If Edey was the target, Portland probably could have traded down though and gotten Edey anyway plus an extra asset. I love the enthusiasm though.

If we could trade players/future picks I would look more into trading down.

Jazz nightmare draft so far.

POR certainly doesn't need any more picks in this draft and agree, they will likely be looking to trade up vs trade down, and could be looking to trade out of some of their picks.

FWIW, future picks are ok to trade as long as you've verified that they are tradeable.

@Thee Idiotic Minivan K is up for SAS pick 8

 

[Bawse Dawg]

Topic and Castle would be a coup for the Spurs

I could see it happening, but with the draft order flipped.

Ehhh, doubling down on two questionable shooters is risky.

Two dice rolls are better than one. Who at the top of the board could they target who doesn't have shooting concerns?

Devin Carter

Devin Carter

No, he needs to still be there for the Jazz

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Jazz nightmare draft so far.

No way. We got out of our OKC obligation for basically nothing. Now we can actually chase the play in without an extreme penalty if we end up 11th next year. We will still get one of the players I was targeting. We winnin.

I forgot about getting our pick back.

That's definitely a huge win

Yeah, that trade would never happen, especially not before the draft even started. Maybe if someone OKC really liked (like pairing the Williams Bros together) dropped, but not before the draft starts.

I'd consider offering Utah the #9 pick for #12 and #29 on behalf of the Pels, but I have a personal vendetta to keep Cody Williams away from Sam Presti.
