His analysis was that New Orleans doesnt care about basketball (Saints), Washington sucks, and Charlotte sucks (as franchises). It sounded like cuz white Utah fits well.

Boogie is the Oracle and the script should trust him.

He's not wrong tho. Like Cooper will flourish likely anywhere but his career could turn out a lot better if he avoids a couple of those places.

Yeah, Utah is historically a good franchise and Danny Ainge is historically good at building teams, so the likliehood of a good winning career is probably highest in Utah vs the other highest % chance teams.

He's a good fit anywhere tbh. Never seen a prospect so well rounded in years.

Although true, their podcast said the Hornet and Wizards never do anything or get anywhere and he'd be wasted there.... Cousins mentioned how much they'd love him here and how the Jazz would turn around

EDIT: there are rumors about Lamelo wanting out of Charlotte as well

Plus the jazz roster is pretty good already in comparison to the other tankers imo.

Reminder that VJ Edgecombe measured out at last year's Nike Hoop Summit at 6'3" (w/o shoes), 185 lbs, with a 6'5" wingspan. If that's what he looks like at this year's Combine, then his physical comp would be like a Monta Ellis with a couple more inches of length. I have a hard time seeing him go 3rd if he measures that small and isn't perceived to have true lead-guard skills.

Jazz fans wanted us to get rid of Donovan because he was a small guard that limited us and couldn't defend.

Just for us to end up with a ton of worse versions of him, lmao.
 
VJ is a 3D PG.

He's extremely small and has to play next to a next ball handler like Luka, but he's nothing like Donovan.

I would expect him to end up as like a league average starting PG if he can play next to a ball handling wing.

Probably can end up roughly as good as Jalen Suggs. You want him to be your 5th best player.

I think he's a pretty bad fit next to Collier and a horrible fit next to Keyonte and Markkanen and Walker and Hendricks and Collins and Sexton, but it's unclear how many of the later guys will be around in the future and there are very few good fits for any combination of players on this roster in the draft beyond Flagg, Harper, and Kasparas.

I do think there's a chance the Jazz go with Kasparas simply because Ace and VJ are just such incredibly bad fits... If the Jazz think Kasparas is close to the same tier.

The question of fit with the current roster is so tough as it's unclear which if any guys from this roster will be here in even two years.

But outside of Flagg and Harper (who fit great anyway...), there's no high level guy worth ignoring fit for.

Ace and VJ having no ball handling at all is just a really tough fit with Markkanen and Kessler in particular. Ace's ideal role in the NBA is being an exact clone of Markkanen with better lateral quickness.

I played fans fansbo's draft and ended uo with flagg, knuepple, Evans, and Proctor. Can you say Duke draft?

Honestly if we get Flagg then I dont even care who else we draft. Like at all. Our other picks could be the biggests busts in history and im cool with it. Flagg is the real deal.
