Maybe Utah just has a tight lid on who workouts

I think the Jazz love players with 30-foot shooting gravity (every team does). Sheppard and Knecht stand out as having it. Carter and George do too, to a lesser degree.

I'm sure everyone likes shooting gravity...

Giving has Utah as a team interested in trading up for Clingan and drafting Edey at 10.

But remember how much some posters like Sip go on and on about how much the FO loves Kessler?

Any team that wants Dillingham, Edey or Holland is probably calling the Jazz about #10.

If you can get a starting caliber 2 way center out of this draft, you probably grab that and run though, right?

I’d want more than that from a top-5 pick.

It sounds as though the Jazz are looking at everybody and considering every possibility. I could believe the Jazz are trying to trade up, but I think their target would be Sheppard or one of their favorite wings, rather than Clingan. Just my opinion, but I think Clingan is, for all intents and purposes, the Jakob Poeltl of this draft. Maybe he's better in some respects, but he's basically a starting-caliber two-way big and not a whole lot more.

The FO must be hyper frustrated with Kessler's work ethic/mental mindset.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Clingan is 100% a higher IQ/feel player on both ends than Kessler, but I do worry about his complete lack of vertical pop.

He probably needs to drop another 20 lbs. Not sure he's a guy who really needs to be 280.

gravity is my nemesis

Edeys floor seems to be Toronto at 19

Also interesting that Givony said every team 9-20 is interested in Missi.

Now, that range could just be convenient to say Memphis, but he did say every team.

I’d rather have Holmes than Missi.

I’d rather have Holmes than Missi.

I think I ranked Holmes slightly higher but when I think about it Missi is probably a clearly better prospect

I am still on the Devin Carter bandwagon. 6'3-6'4" plus athletes who can really defend and rebound can play playoff style basketball. Yes he doesn't have the ball creation skills to be primary option but I would rather hit a nice double instead of busting.
