10. ?

Who would you take at 10 if the board played out like this?

For the Jazz, probably Knecht. I think he's got more ball skills than he showed at Tennessee. I'd also take a look at Salaun, Carter and George.

The elephant in the living room with Dillingham is that he might not be able to guard anyone.
 
Don’t watch Devin Carter highlights if you don’t want to fall in love. His tape is really impressive
I think he could play a NAW role. Don't think the playmaking/self creation translates and I think the shooting will probably be inconsistent, but he should be able to be a playoff player as long as he is hitting a decent amount of shots.

For the Jazz I would take Carter and be extremely excited about that, but I would secretly wonder if we missed out on Knecht, Dillingham, or McCain.

Knecht, easily. Knecht obviously has great size and length at the guard spot (6'6, 6'9 wingspan) and is a very good shooter at all three levels. Defense is his biggest weakness right now, but his size and above-average athleticism suggest that he should be able to make some improvements in that area. I think he'd be a great fit for Jazz and Hardy seems like just the type of coach to get the most out of him.
 
I've been saying this since a couple hundred pages in this thread.
Its part of why I went back and looked at the tape. I caught a few portions of his games on tv and he was either bad or meh in the portions I saw. When I saw the athletic and wingspan testing I wanted to do another quick look and it really just jumps out at you. You also mentioned the tough shots he takes and yeah... its seems there is a lot of step back off the dribble contested stuff. His form is kinda wonky... but it does remind me of Quickley how its kind of out in front of him. He has a lot of super clean makes and puts a lot of air under the ball. I think I believe.

It could be a good fit with Key too... not that that is the only concern but two kinda combo guards might be okay. Both should shoot it well. Carter should be a dawg defender. I think he's a safe pick with some upside.
 
Dadiet and Nunez play in 15 minutes in what could be their last game of the season. Dadiet has averaged about 17 mpg in the series, so dont expect too much, but he has averaged just over 10 PPG in those minutes, so he has been scoring very efficiently when given the ball.
