Hot take bumps a few games into SL is peak Jazzfanz.

FWIW, most of my posts right now are mostly tongue in cheek since I don't actually believe you can take too much away from summer league.

Every year I get away excited for SL and every year I'm reminded how bad SL sucks lol.

With the tiny bit of hindsight we have at this point I would still have taken Tre but I'm happy with Ace since he was my second choice for the jazz.

My final top 5 ranking was Flagg, Harper, Bailey, Johnson, Edgecombe. Would’ve been extremely happy with any of them tbh.

I personally think all 5 guys have star potential.

I think Tre is definitely a better shooter and possibly a better scorer overall, but the difference between their defense from baseline to best-case scenario is tilted WAY in favor of Ace which is why I still ultimately kept him 3 on my board.

I would have been happy with either. Kind of crazy that we had to choose. I think you have to go with the length and defensive upside of Ace, especially with the idea of what him and Hendricks together could unlock.

Hendricks just has to pan out.

So bummed we didn't get to see what an offense with Yang and Flip would look like. Looks like Yang has legit rim protector ability

He's a really fun player. Guys that height who can pass have a huge advantage.

The only thing I don't really buy in to is the shot.

Who could have seen it coming that Kon doesn't have NBA athleticism? It's a mystery.

I mean I read on this very board that he was a hidden gem who was possibly being held back by the high-usage presence of Cooper Flagg. Yeah.

What’s the Google Chrome extension that will turn all of Tremendous Upside’s post text into: “I’m a little bitch. I’m a little bitch”?

If I approach it like high school football where the chaos is the point, Summer League is way more fun.

This. We’ll see how it plays out, but Jazz FO told TJ they had major, major concerns over Tre’s defense. Something I’m watching for to see how the scouts and FO are doing.

Youre the best at this.

Please consider the following edits to the post above:

Youre the best of all time at this

Bro how the **** do you always get this right? You know ball better than anyone

If I had a daughter and you had a son, I'd be thinking about how an arranged marriage would bring great honor to my family.

Hard to keep track of how right I've been this draft cycle.

In terms of "best-case" scenario, Ace is probably #2 in this class. I would guess Harper has a higher floor, but I don't see him having a higher ceiling. I'd prob peg the top 5 in terms of "upside" as follows:

1. Flagg
2. Ace
3. VJ
4. Harper
5. Tre

Maluach is probably up there as well, just not sure where.

EDIT: Hansen Yang was a massive oversight here. Way higher ceiling than Maluach / Tre.
