Following Potential 2025 Draftees

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Yeah but just barely. Like “hitting on Grayson Allen” with the 21 the pick in 2018 but when in reality, that 2018 class was so deep that if you are to do a redraft, Allen would actually be selected after the 21th.

If we do a redraft of 2014 class, I think there's a good chance that Hood would still be there at 23rd cuz they are about roughly 20+ players I'd still take ahead of him in that class.

I doubt it, but still even if that’s true he’s still got to make the right pick. I do recall most of the dudes in that range being all scrubs. And I recall the teens not being all that good either. That wasn’t a great draft to be honest.

Every GM has its hits and misses, and to be honest picking two all stars in a 3 year period at 13 and 27 is impressive and damn good work. And those weren’t just two guys that fell into his lap, he identified them then traded for those picks which makes it that much more impressive

Here's 20 minutes of Lauri "comically bad at facing up" Markkanen doing plenty of facing up and self-creating while being defended by actual non-tanking NBA competition.

As I said, everyone knows it's not a consistent strength of his, but elevating some college player above him before they even step on an NBA floor is beyond crazy.

I loved those Mike Conley's passes to Lauri. Played real well together.

Good lord you are full of so much ****.

Please produce the list of 21 players you'd take over Grayson Allen in the 2018 draft.

Ayton
Luka
JJJ
Trae
WCJ
Sexton
Mikal Bridges
Miles Bridges
SGA
MPJ
Donte
Simons
RWIII
Brunson
Mitch Robinson
Gary Trent Jr
Vando
Bruce Brown
Duncan Robinson

Thats 19 already.

And about 8 more guys Allen go toe and toe with: Bagley, MoWagner, Huerter, Milton, Shamet, Melton, Highsmith and Kenrich Williams.

Its not like Allen's having a great year either. I know his % are decent but as a guy with a PG's size who can't really guard PGs, KD clearly wants him off the team right now, with coach Bud's favoritism being the only reason he's still getting minutes. So I was being generous.

LMAO miss me with Gary Trent, Duncan Robinson, and Vando. And especially with those others you listed after 19

IMO - Bailey's ballhandling isn't so bad to the point where I don't think he can tighten it up and eventually create his own offense in the NBA. There aren't many 6'10" guys who come into league with plus-handles at the NBA level and his overall "shot-making" repertoire is quite advanced.

He'd be wise to develop a back to the basket game, a la Kevin Durant. KD was lethal from the midpost / high-post in college (15+ feet). His wingspan makes those shots truly unguardable but Ace could still punish smaller defenders with his size.

Bronson shouldn’t count. He was a second round draft pick.

lol Trent averaged 18ppg on a 48 win Toronto. When has Allen ever done something like that?

Duncan Robinson performed on the biggest stage in NBA finals. And when had Allen reached the floor of NBA finals? And name me one thing that Allen does that Robinson can't? Allen is a PG in size who can't guard PGs. Basically a total liability on defense. Duncan Robinson at least has the length so it's easier to hide him on D. Allen would have been subbed out by Spoelstra if he's on the heat.

The only way to judge whether you hit or miss on a draft pick is through a redraft. To see whether the player you took at your draft position was the best player available at that position.

Robinson was also unplayable last playoffs

Royce and Ingles

The trade for Clarkson was pretty clutch.

The trade for Clarkson was pretty clutch.

The George Hill trade was really good to. Too bad he just played so amazingly he became unaffordable and subsequently hit a career wall way earlier than expected (so the Jazz kind of lucked out that he out priced them)
