Following Potential 2020 draftees

I don't know how I would treat such information as another team's GM, but IMO you definitely need to keep it in mind. For example lets say OKC(drafting no. 25 via Denver) loves Woodard and it would take just their second round pick to move to 22 in front of the Jazz, I would probably do it based on this information. It sounds weird, but this is not like it's a single year lucky pick. This happens damn near every single year.

And if this is the year Locke's "signals" are wrong (which you'd probably never know, by the way) in the scenario you mention, how secure would you feel in your job?

As accurate as the Locke's picks seem to be, it's also the case that having Locke's ideas out there hasn't seemed to affect the availability of those players for the Jazz much at all.

I mean we took Tony Bradley in part because we though San Antonio was taking him based on some intel... DL still gots a job.

Oh well, in that case you've lost a pick in the 50s for nothing(which you won't know for sure). I'm not saying make some insane trades and give up some significant draft compensation based on that type of information, but there is some threshold where IMO it's worth acting on that info.

True, for example in the Dante Exum year, Locke was actually pretty hyped about Aaron Gordon. IMO, this was the guy the Jazz were going to pick if he was available.
 
If I'm the arena sound director and we draft Ramsey, I'm playing the Nacho Libre sound bit every time he checks in:

Ramses is #1
His Biceps are #1

Names aren't an exact match but sound close enough.

There is a whole stack of players I would take ahead of Woodard--Maledon, McDaniels, Bolmaro, Reed, Flynn, Ramsey...

Well safe to say the Kings are gonna be at the very top of next years draft... their the whooping boys of the best division in basketball

Here's a strong take on my part - I don't see it with Deni Avdija. I like all of Killian Hayes, Pokusevski and Maladon better from the overseas prospects.

Not that I would take Poku or Maledon over Deni but I was surprised to see him mocked around 4. I thought he would go 9-14.

What is Woodard's NBA comp and does he still have the braces. Lol.

I see a more athletic Torrey Craig that is a better shooter. I'm worried his defense won't catch up to his physical stature though.
