Passing on a wing because there are better wings the following draft (who you likely won't even get) is so foolish. Creating a problem that does not exist. How terrible it would be if we get a good wing in 24 and 25.

I think this strategy would apply to a later pick. Not our top pick. If the Jazz are drafting in the 20s and have an opportunity to draft someone like Ware, Missi, Chomche (if they believe in him), etc., then that would be on strategy due to positional need. But I agree with you that they won't pass on a wing in the top 10 this year, hoping they'll get Cooper or Ace next year.

The hit rate is so low, even on the 8th pick, it doesn't matter. You can never get enough wings. If you have too many wings you are in an incredible situation.

DX is essentially just an agent mouthpiece at this point.

I don’t agree with this at all. They crushed it last year with their mocks. They have a good gauge on player value around the league and will adjust accordingly.

They are holding firm on Risacher, interesting. Also, still low on Holland. I find that DX has become less and less a valid source (of opinion) once they joined with ESPN. I do wonder if they know if something is up with Holland....like maybe he's trash in practice. I find it hard to make an argument for Matas over Holland, at least on paper. Or maybe it's Matas that is outstanding in practice. We talked about people brushing over Castle's shooting concerns.....Matas shot 26% from 3 and less than 70% from the line.

DX said they’d be surprised if Risacher fell out of the top-3.

Agents know where players are going. Like I said in my earlier post, I don't think they are a source of opinion. They are insiders now, no longer evaluators. They are in the business of exchanging information and the includes hyping up players as favors.

Givony has gone full Woj mode all season. I don’t think it’s bad for him personally as he’s just not very good on TV and doesn’t have another great selling point. Schmitz was amazing at that stuff and I wonder if he regrets leaving. He had more lanes available to him than Givony.

Schmitz is working for the Blazers. I'm sure he's fine.

But what if we also have zero wings (basically) and can also play like 4 wings at the same time in the nba if you want? Then what buddy?
