In order to build around Lauri we would need to make several moves. We have several needs and how do you suppose we can contend if we don't draft that type of player? No matter who you draft, you're going to need something else. The draft is not the only way to acquire talent, and this won't be the only draft between now and potentially contending with Lauri. If you need a certain type of player, you do not have to get that player through draft nor is the draft necessarily the easiest way to do so. The highest quality player is the player who will help us contend the most.

The Jazz are believed to be willing to trade Walker Kessler for 2 FRPs. Hence, I wouldn't plan on building around him.

Ya I was always a tank with Lauri kind of guy but no more. I say we trade him when we can
Derik Queen currently destroying Ohio State.
No VJ tonight is a bummer.
Kasparus, Boogie Fland and Labaron Philon are all 1st-round guard prospects who could challenge Nolan Traore for draft position by the time the draft rolls around.
Also, this looks like a deep draft. The Jazz should get a decent player with their #28 pick this year.

Anyone who thinks his handle or ability to create a shot is bad is a ****ing Tremendous Moron.
I really dont think there is any competition for #1. It's Flagg all day. When his body fills out and he fine tunes his shot he's going to be a lethal scorer.
His handle is very good for his age/size. He doesn't get past people though. In that clip he made a lot of tough shots. Kind of similar to the criticism of Ace Bailey, he didn't create any easy shots. I really don't care that much, as the rest of his game is so great. I do think it's fair to point out though, especially as people continue to criticize Ace for the same thing.
Easy buckets dont really exist in college basketball, at least not in the way they do in the NBA.
Difference between what him and Ace do is that Coop isnt shying away from contact.
Good point. It would be nice to see him get by his guy every once in awhile and get to the rim though. That doesn't have to be his game for him to be really good, but most number one scoring options in the NBA can do that regularly.
