Following Potential 2026 Draftees

[JazzFever]

AJ comes off mostly like DeRozan.

We'll see if he's less empty calories than DeRozan in the NBA.

He's closer to young LeBron I think, not as big/athletic, but he has a great feel and can make the creative pass (and has a better 3 pt shot.)

AJ is averaging 20 points and 7 rebounds in 30 minutes. 57.4% from the field, 40% from 3 and 65% from the line (went 11-12 from the line today though) and BYU is looking like a final 4 caliber team.
Right on track for the start of his career.

Heard the announcer throw out a stat during the game.
Opponents are shooting 15% when AJ is the primary defender so far this year. Lockdown, shutdown 1 on 1 defense.
They did mention that his help defense is lacking though.
Apparently that 15% number is the 7th best in the country.

Man, AJ on this team with Lauri would be so fun to watch with Keyonte.

I will buy fish (and myself) an AJ jersey if we draft him

That would literally be the greatest day in my sports fandom life if the jazz drafted him.

Cayden Boozer is pretty solid.

Keep an eye on this dude for 2027

Cayden has a funky shot. I am not convinced he will get it off in the pros

He'll be fine as a role player getting his shot off.

After watch one highlight reel of each player in the top 10 I’ve concluded the best player in this draft is Koa Peat.

If that's who we end up with, I think we can make something out of it. He gives off a bit of an Aaron Gordon-at-Arizona vibe, but he's not as bouncy, and he's probably a better paint scorer in college.

Brown, Ament and Peat are probably in the 5 - 8 range where the Jazz might find themselves.

Reevaluated? He has an injury that you can either repair and take a year off or cut out and be back on the court a few weeks later but NEVER GET THAT MENISCUS BACK.

Sorry, I just hate that meniscus injuries are so down-played.

 

[NUMBERICA]

I don't even think we have a fight on our hands so much as we are just ****ed.

It is wild to me that people still assume we are deciding between getting the 1st or 7th pick, not the 7th pick or no pick.

The Jazz have to start pulling some kind of ****.

This is why you grab unprotected picks and swaps whenever you can get them. You just do it.

If the Pistons dumped out every draft asset they have unprotected for Lauri, you take that and run.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Presti truly ran a master class of how to tear down and rebuild. They got some luck but are setup for like a 5 year contention window with the ability to reload and extend it.

With enough dice rolls you need almost no luck to hit.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Because the amount of super stars demanding things that fell in their favor is ridiculous.

Like KD walking? Like ownership dumping Harden?

 

[Elizah Huge]

Presti’s entire legacy is built off of the Clippers being forced to give them SGA and their entire draft capital for the future.

He’s good but he’s had a lot of stuff fall into his lap. You can say at least he took advantage of that stuff sure.

 

[KqWIN]

The Thunder are a result of good luck, but also extremely good management. They were awesome on the margins despite having an embarrassment of riches.
