Kind of surprised Walter in the first group over Collier

Seems like Dilingham and Topic might not get invited because they failed to do combine testing due to injury?

Dillingham is completing his testing in LA to be eligible.

From a team building standpoint, that would be a bad draft, but from an entertainment standpoint, it would be great.

I feel pretty confident we are not taking Dillingham at 10.

I would hope not, but I really don't have any idea what the FO thinks.

Just doesn't make any sense unless you think he is overwhelmingly BPA.

 

[KqWIN]

Small guards in the lottery have a really good record....I was actually shocked at how well they did when I looked into it....but Dilly's size and poor game around the basket is worrying to me. I would have no problem him if he was BPA, but I have him tiered up in the same group as others.

All players projected around #10 have their warts, but several still are intriguing. This draft seems as strong as most years for the 5-20 range. The weakness comes in the top 3 or 4 prospects versus most years are way worse this year.

It has us passing on Carter, Williams, and Saluan. I can't see it. We tried our luck on small guards, it doesn't work for us.

Carter isn't small and the Jazz have had great success with small guards...

Jakobe Walter working out for Detroit (5) and Charlotte (6) this week. Could there be a trade-back scenario with a team in the 10 - 13 range? Hmm.

I'm surprised I haven't heard any rumors of the Jazz packaging their three picks to move up in the draft. DA said he doesn't want to add three players to the roster under 20.

I suspect our late picks have little valve. I figure we will married draft picks to move clarkson and Collins out.

To me it’s a good sign. Means they are serious about that and so keeping things on the hush kinda like when we traded for the rights for Mitchell.

Unless the jazz are planning on taking Bronny

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

Agree with this. I'd do it, but shave off the LA pick and see if we could throw in JC instead of George.

No way they’d do either of those switches. They have the leverage especially with the CJ for George thing.

I feel pretty confident we are not taking Dillingham at 10.

Ya, not sure why they’d want to add another small high usage guard. Would be bordering on insanity if they went that route with how the team is set up now.
