All this talk about draft picks is only going make me more upset if the Jazz trade the pick. I think our bench/development players are in a need for an upgrade. I am hoping that the Jazz pick best player at 23 and then buy/move in the second to swing for a potential sleeper guy. The draft is essential for the Jazz so when they don't participate they take a step back. Remember Trey Lyles was used to get DM. Maybe a guy the Jazz draft some other team really liked but were unable to pick him because the Jazz were ahead of them.

It bothers me that the Spurs have worked out Samanic and Bazley and we haven't. I get that the Spurs are probably scouting for their pick at #29, but I hope we get those guys in.

Another scenario could be #23 to Brooklyn for #27 and #31.

"Josh Robbins: Darius Bazley, who just worked out with the Magic, said he also has worked out for the San Antonio Spurs. He said he has a workout scheduled with the Detroit Pistons."
Pistons 15
Orlando 16
Spurs 19
I'm guessing he aint coming to the Jazz.
I remember the opposite. I also don’t know how anyone “loves” Ball.

I liked the Kabengele. He just seems to enjoy what he does.
Add him to the list of players I would be ok with the jazz drafting

It's more likely Spurs (29), Pistons (45) and Magic (46) at this point, unless he just blows people away, but I wouldn't bet on him falling into the 2nd round.

Speaking of Bazley, DX has done a vid and interview during his pro day.
That is the weakest highlight video I have ever seen.

I agree. The guy looks like a poor man's Jevale Mcgee. He did hit one corner 3 but on how many takes?

I’m not even saying he can’t play, but why show the footage? Great, he can dunk. Great, he can do an interview. Oh, he hasn’t played real basketball yet? Better show him dunking on nobody for a while and talking.

I think Keldon was one of those guys who left a really bad first impression with me and I can't get it out of my head lol. Dude's shooting form looks like Giannis with that weird head/body leaning back like there's a 100 pound backpack dragging him down. And he moves like a less athletic Jabari Parker when he bulldozes his way straight ahead and cradles the ball like a running back. He also has that weird skinnyfat body type. I know he was a really high recruit, but I'd be disappointed if the Jazz took him.

Maybe the Jazz are keeping it on the down low and not spook other teams by working him out too. Just study the videos and watch the interviews he did with other teams.

I like the idea of Samanic… could be an overlooked guy due to being overseas. I'm not sure if he's actually good, but I like that it seems like it could be a pick with a little higher upside.

Ball a good prospect as a glue guy but he not a superstar and you have to deal With his idiot daddy. If his daddy would practice what he preach, and stay in his lane and accept his role as glue guy then he could be a solid player.
Solid, maybe. But I’m not sure he’s even worth his rookie-scale salary, and “solid” is a far-cry from “love”.
We are living in the dusk of the ballhandler that can’t shoot. It almost doesn’t matter how good you are if you’re not a big and can’t hit an open shot consistently or confidently.
