Or just draft the player you think is the best...
And how is Poku overlooked? The guy came on the scene out of nowhere and is getting hyped up.
And Jaden freaking McDaniels was a top 10 ranked HS player. Stop talking out your *** lmao.

McDaniels could drop to the mid-20s due to his physical development and attitude issues. Poku could drop to our range because he's 2 years away from being ready and might get stashed. Both are considered projects. If there weren't serious question marks, they wouldn't be possibilities in the 20s. Those are guys the Jazz are likely targeting.
Jazz don't need just a rotation player. They need a player with real upside who has the potential to raise the ceiling of the team. That's just logic, not talking out of one's ***.
I mean by definition anyone picked in the 20's+ is overlooked. Was Jimmy Butler a polarizing/underdeveloped pick?
There is no exact science to drafting. At the end of the day you pick the guy you think has the best mental and physical attributes to succeed in the NBA.

Anyone with star potential taken in the 20s is likely overlooked. Guys like Grayson Allen and Tony Bradley aren't overlooked. They're conservative, low-ceiling picks who are drafted to be role players off the bench. That's not what the Jazz need, since they have enough of those already.
Uhh, what?
Anyone picked in the later portions of the draft is overlooked. It's not arguable lmao. You can create any narrative you want for why a player was overlooked.
Allen was overlooked because of his age. The same reason a guy like Jimmy Butler was overlooked.
Bradley was ranked super high by analytical models but overlooked because he isnt a clean fit in the modern NBA. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id...north-carolina-center-tony-bradley-via-lakers
ESPN had him at 17% chance at being a starter in 5 years and 3% chance at being an All-Star with a 20% chance at being a rotation player.

Players drafted in the 20s are normally role players who are lucky to stay in the league. Drafting a star in the 20s is rare and it's due to teams overlooking them or not being willing to take some risk.
Teams passed on Rudy Gobert because they thought he was too weak and unskilled. Teams passed on Andrei Kirilenko because they didn't scout him in Russia. Those are star players, the exception rather than the rule.
Yes, everyone who gets drafted later is passed on for a reason.
Grayson Allen wasn't "overlooked." He was a low-ceiling prospect who was destined to become a third or fourth guard off the bench. He was drafted right where he should have been. In a re-draft today, he would get picked in the same draft tier.
Tony Bradley was drafted to be a backup center. He wasn't overlooked either, but another low-ceiling prospect drafted in his proper range. Whatever methodology ESPN used to quantify the idea that he has a 3% chance of becoming an All Star, the conclusion is the same. Bradley has almost no star potential.
You are just moving the goalpost to fit your moronic idea that teams have to a certain type of player at a certain draft spot. That's exactly what makes a ****** drafter ******, the inability to see all possibilities and get past internal bias.
Right. A few of the late picks have a high ceiling, while most of them don't. Simple concept. Not sure why this is difficult for you.
Because the whole concept behind potential and ceilings is completely subjective. Just because you know less about a dude doesnt mean he has more potential, which is a concept people struggle to understand.
