Following Potential 2025 Draftees

[KqWIN]

I think he will find ways within routine actions to scale up a bit. I think he will always be a secondary or tertiary ball handler... its just weird the comps some throw out that lead me to believe they simply looked at the cover of the book. A Corey Kispert that can dribble and pass is no longer Corey Kispert.

I saw Mike Miller working out some players recently and thought…man Mike Miller would have been so good in today’s game. Coaches didn’t even know how good or valuable he could be back then. Kon could be like him…but unfortunately there’s not a white guy that plays like that atm.

Who pairs better with Walker and Collier? I see them both as part of our long term plans. Assuming Collier doesn't learn to shoot, then we need a shooter next to him.

Tre? VJ? Ace? Harper?

VJ is more of a 2 way player who can compliment a primary ball handler.

Tre spreads the floor better.

Ace can do both.

Harper may be redundant but gives us 2 ball handlers next to each other.

If Collier can't shoot, then I don't know how both he and Kessler are in the long term plans together.

Get 3 other shooters on the court.

Get 3 other shooters on the court.

I'm not sure it's enough unless Kessler becomes a bigger threat from somewhere on the court outside the paint.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Why would they do that, though? The motive isn’t obvious.

I think its obvious. I think Charlotte could have big interest there. So you telegraph your own interest and make them pay to move up and get him. Get your guy... pay the guy slightly less... pick up an asset.

They will end up having interest in all the big names in an effort to drum up trade up interest.

Ace Ace Baby

He's a Bum bum bum bum bum...

Just kidding but I couldn't resist

So the kinda guy you should take 8th but in no way can you take him 5th?

This would also depend on the needs of the team. Jazz gotta swing harder than a Philly, New Orleans, or possibly even Charlotte.

If the Jazz pulled off the 3rd AND 5th picks, I would be very open to getting Kon at 5.

ummmm... sure.

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 why wouldn't they...

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

 

[KqWIN]

If it's Ace....meh. I think he will be ok, but we're the wrong franchise to get the most out of him.

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.
