Tony Jones said the Jazz worked out someone who is slated to go in the late lottery. I'm going to throw a guess out that it was Demin, because whey wouldn't they...

I think Jase was in based on the video they put out.

black guys are better athletes. welcome to real life.

the fact is, it's not hard to find black guys with those same qualifiers i mentioned (except the athleticism because they often have it) who have been stars. ftr, the only reason that was a qualifier is for guys like Grayson Allen, who is a great athlete on paper, but in games it's not really part of his game.

But Canadians, Finns, Swedes and Russians do very well in ice hockey and they are not primarily identified as black so I would think that social/cultural/economic variables are at play here.

Yup, the best white athletes in America, generally speaking, play other sports because it's ingrained in a lot of people that whites don't excel in basketball.

Think that's slowly changing with Europeans being more prominent in the NBA game.
 
I'm currently considering the idea of trading down form 5 to get like 7 or 8 and stuff and then trading that stuff and 21 for like 14 or 15. That way we could get 2 of Kas, Kon, CMB, Coward, and Bryant.

I would make an awful GM because I've also said we should stand pat and pick the best player left at 5, and have also considered trading up to 3.

I'm too indecisive, lol.
 
I don’t know if it’s because he’s a relatively new prospect to me, but Fears is really tantalizing. I’m not sold anybody else in our range has the same playmaking skills that he does.

Defense and shooting ability are a concern, but I really believe he might have the best shot at being the offensive player this team needs. He's young, played good competition, shoots free throws well and gets to the line a ton.

I bet $150 that the Jazz draft Kon at 5.

a) I really don't think the Jazz will draft Kon.
b) I think if the Jazz did draft Kon, they'd trade back to #6 or #7. The Pels, in particular, would probably like to trade up to #5 to secure Fears. They'd probably be happy to draft Ace as well.

I'd consider placing a hedge that Ace Bailey goes #5 (whether to the Jazz or someone else).
