I can’t passionately debate this too 3 convo because they’re all just so damn good.

i think it's a top four (with Wilson part of the group) - but ultimately agree despite what i said about dybantsa earlier.

I'm going to be spending most of my time looking into the 6-8 because the top 4 truly feels "can't miss"....and I don't want to be too depressed if we miss out.

There are still some seriously talented kids that range as well. The more I watch Acuff the more I see Jalen Brunson. Do you think Key and a player like Brunson could work together?

I'm managing my expectations and thinking the Jazz will draft at 6 or 7. I think the Jazz would take Flemings, Wagler or Ament in that scenario.

• Flemings looks a bit small to me, but he's a more balanced player than Fears was last year.
• Wagler is an immediate upgrade over Svi and Brice as a scoring/playmaking guard who would space the floor beautifully for Key, Ace, Lauri and JJJ.
• Ament would be an understudy for Lauri and will be late in his rookie deal when Lauri's contract expires. That would give the Jazz Lauri and JJJ now, plus Ace and Nate for the future, a total of 7 years worth of runway.

The appeal of Ament is that he has some advanced feel and decision-making to go with his pass/dribble/shoot skills. To me, this makes Ament a better overall prospect than Ace Bailey last year, though Ace has a potential high-end scoring outcome. Ament is a guy you can trust with the ball.
