How do people feel about potentially pairing Sexton with Donovan in the backcourt?

I'm okay with it. I also like Jaylen Hands next to Mitchell. Mitchell can play off the ball and defend most 2s. He has a hard time with Jimmy Butler and Demar DeRozan, but otherwise gets by. Jazz will need to decide if they want to count on Exum or not.

Mitchell can play next to most guards.

Is there a shot Trae Young falls to 7/8? It would be tough but I think we can tank to that range.

Atlanta, Orlando, and Boston (if LA is in top 5) I think would take him outside the top 2. Boston may look big instead.

I think Memphis, Sacramento, and maybe Dallas (they like to play two PGs so maybe not) would pass in the top 6.

I'm more convinced than ever it is tank SZN

No, I don't think there is.

Damn. Then I pray he doesn't go to Boston... I want to root for him at the next level.

Oh, no way Boston drafts him.

I mean, I think his absolute floor is 7. I don't think Boston would draft him. Boston can only pick 2-5 and a big will be available, either JJJ/Ayton/Bagley/Bamba. Hell I could even see Boston going Porter Jr with how much they value big wings who are offensively talented.

Yes.

there's such little separation between the 2-6 spots in the draft right now it's kinda hard to extrapolate anything about which teams are gonna be where...

I'd link Trae Young to Pheonix tho, for sure..

But to answer your initial question; the main reason is Collin Sexton, he's not to be written off as the top PG just yet... This is one of those 'it only takes one team' type of things and that team could be right at the top, so who knows..
 
I've located a section of this draft that will bear low-hanging fruit. There will be a future All-star SF selected in the 19-40 range. I'ma predict at-least two of the, lets say, 5-8 SF's that get picked in range will be good starters in the league for a long time..

another development just took place thats seemingly adjacent to this also;

The infamous $100,000 man Brian Bowen has now signed with South Carolina... To me, this reeks of him declaring for the 2018 draft...... Or he won't be able to debut til the 2nd semester of next season, and he's already near 20 years old IIRC...

The marketer in me has spotted this move of bringing the kid who got caught with his hand in the cookie jar to go 'turn it around' under the supervision of a noted disciplinarian, Frank Martin, a mile away, and I like it. He will also be a major wildcard in that range and despite his advanced age as a College Freshman, in the 20-40 range of this next draft, he'll be younger than most all of em, many by 2 years...


And I do actually believe, however faint it its, that there's some traces of Klay Thompson to his game..

FWIW -- If Boston were to land MP Jr, I'd bet he'd play almost exclusively PF he's either a legit 6'10 or just a shade beneath it.... It'd be insane, Hayward is easily the least talented of the trio (MP Jr and Tatum)...


The Jazz are talking about Mirotic right? MP JR is in many ways a super rich mans Mirotic...

Thats why I'm telling ya's there's no debate, if Porter Jr is on the board the Jazz will pull the trigger without any hesitation.. and u will hear the organization praise the pick almost more than any other pick they've made initially, because he's that good...

Jaren Jackson Jr is a name that will only continue to gain steam as this thread progresses. He's shooting like 45% from 3 and 83% from the stripe...

I'm pretty sure he's a lock for the top-10, I like him better than Marquese Chriss for example.
