Been linked to lots of players....just not the guys who are certain to go ahead of us. I don't believe in "tight lipped"....especially not from the Jazz whose draft plans were in the wide open last year. Info is out on the Jazz, there's just no indication we're moving into the top 5.

Could Dadiet develop in to a Boris Diaw type player?
He's obviously pretty far away, but also super young.

If Dilly was a decent defender he’d be in consideration for a top-3 pick.
I'm not buying him as an on-ball player, but maybe that's just me.
I like Dadiet, but I've got no hopes of him being the passer/ball handler Diaw was....which is his defining characteristic as a player.
I don’t think Dilly can be a decent defender. That’s a bigger (less-fixable) problem.
From talking to multiple guys who would know the Jazz liked Keyonte very early on in the cycle and Keyonte’s camp wasn’t very tight lipped about it.
Not sure about the interest in Bilal last year but that wasn’t very tight lipped either.

If I were 6'7" and 30 years younger, maybe I would too.
I think his handles are pretty great for his size and age, I think that could be developed.
I don't think he's shown enough passing for me to feel good about it, but I think it's at least possible.
This draft is just so weak. It's finding a needle in a haystack kind of draft. You hope to get lucky finding a gem. But chances are, you're getting a bench warmer IMO.
Last year, there was more consensus about who was going where. Plus, the draft was stronger at the top, so teams were less inclined to trade picks. Everyone could spell out who the top 8 - 10 players were. This year, things seem to be more up in the air. So it's harder to pin a certain player to a certain team.
Carter's wingspan is 6' 8" and he has an extremely high motor. I think he is Smart on defense, but with more offensive game.
