See clips like this... this is the fall out from the youtube basketball mixtape era....
I don't think Nesmith drops. Every team can use a knock-down shooter at the wing. It's possible that Tyrese Maxey, RJ Hampton or Theo Maledon drop. There are just a bunch of guards in this draft.

NBAdraft.net shows that the Grizzlies have our pick. But that is definitely not the impression I get from this thread.
What exactly are the details of that deal?

Bey would be ideal at this point.
It's impossible for Maxey and Maledon to "drop" to us. They aren't top 20 prospects. Either a team is going to reach on them or they will be available. No drop involved.
There are weird protections on the pick. It only conveys if the Jazz's pick is in the 8 - 14 range, or something like that.
Jay Scrubb is a really intriguing prospect. I'm surprised he's not higher on boards. 6'6 with a 6'9 wingspan, athleticism pops on film, legitimate ball skills.
I think Malik Fitts is being slept on too. Which isn't as surprising because he's 23. But he has NBA size and he can shoot the 3. He's someone the Jazz should look at if they can get a 2nd.

Tankathon's mock draft showed the Jazz picking at #20 yesterday and taking Kira Lewis Jr. They've had Pokusevski going at either #16 or #19.

Precious Achuwia up to #10 on ESPN's best available list.
JALEN SMITH WHO THEY HAD OUTSIDE OF THE TOP 60 WHEN THE GAMES WERE LIVE - sits at #20....
YAM MADAR at #46 tho!!

ESPN is lower on Kira Lewis, Jr. than some others. They have him at #25. It's sounding as though some teams have Kira as high as 10 - 12 on their boards. ESPN is also not high on Paul Reed, putting him at #50 right now. Not sure what the deal is.

Just learning who these people are for the first time. But I would definitely want precious over Poku.

25 is probably the bottom of their range on Kira Lewis. There's just no way that NBA playoff teams start lining up to pass on a kid like that.
Paul Reed is in a different spot. That skillset he has, I feel like teams don't like to gamble big on players like that in the draft and prefer to pay them on their 2nd contracts when their sure they can produce consistently.

Just wanna say I used to hate on Jabari and praised TJ Warren as a lotto talent in the 2014 thread..
That was the draft Cy and the Aaron Gordon fanclub really tried to fight me tooth and nail over everything too(Including Zach LaVine which went catastrophically wrong for Cy in hindsight, he even at one point said LaVine should go undrafted and shouldnt be in the top-60..). If you look back I had a lot of the gems pegged as favorites.. Dinwiddie was a player I talked about here for years.. I was a big Jordan Clarkson, and also Dwight Powell fan.. Swore up and down Jerami Grant was a 1st rd talent, and a better value than Aaron Gordon. always liked Capela and Bogdanovic too.
and tbh a player i redflagged as an obvious dud, Adreian Payne who some thought was lottery-bound, fizzled out rather quietly..

You're assuming that Precious learns how to dribble, pass and shoot? Or...
I think Precious is mostly a defensive 4/5 in today's league. I could see the T'wolves draft him to play next to Towns or maybe the Celtics to play him at the 5.

Defensive stopper with size intrigues me more than lanky overseas guy with a crappy % even in Euroleague.
I don’t expect you to engage with me. I have done no homework at all. I would just always choose the Precious archetype over the Poku one.
I think he's like Keith Van Horn with some of Chandler Parson's handle and passing game. What's rare is that he's a 7-footer with a handle who attacks and plays downhill. There's a question about how much of that really translates to the pros, or how much of that a team would want him to do in a game, but a team has to look at that potential.
Point Center. Mobile Jokic.
