I'm not a big fan of drafting a center... since they'd be a backup in our current iteration and there are a lot of cheap, good backup options... but Nic Claxton is really intriguing, the ball handling ability at the position is unique... I wonder how effective it will be at the next level. If he goes in the second maybe we can use some cash to move up and get him.

I don't think Nic Claxton is anywhere near physically ready to play at the 5. Maybe in a year or two. I'm not sure he's really quick or skilled enough to play at the 4 right now either, but I suppose you could take a flier and find out. He's a project who will probably go in the late 20s or more likely mid-30s.

Cameron Johnson just reminds me of Justin Jackson from UNC a few years back.

Maybe, but Johnson sure is a better shooter, and Jackson is a more versatile defender. Morph them into one player and you might have something.

I agree that Bazely looks like an NBA talent but THT is slow AF.

Horton-Tucker needs to get in better shape. I think you have to play him like a Paul Pierce or Lance Stephenson---that used to be considered a 3, but now might even be considered more of a 4. My concern with THT is that he won't keep up with quick guards.

Yep, I hope they bring in Bazley, Nwora, and Horton-Tucker along with him. Probably, we'll get Lu Dort though.

That would be a great group. There’s so many guys I’d like to see with the Jazz. Getting that kid in a candystore feeling.

Based on what I'm seeing in basketball-related media Luka Samanic seems to still be a bit undervalued, although it sounds as though the Spurs like him. I'd feel comfortable taking Samanic ahead of Cam Johnson and Grant Williams. Samanic is a stretch 4 with ball skills.

As you know I am a huge samanic fan. Have been for a couple of years. I agree with what you said.

He's got a higher chance of going lottery than 2nd round.

Jazz have worked out 36 players, so far 9 of them are returning to college.

I think we need to be aggressive and swing for the fences and hope we catch lightning. When we could have Giannis etc. I think I am really liking Bazley but I don't think we can wait around thinking we can maybe get him in the 2nd round. I think we should just draft him at 23.

I am not even sure if he will be there at 23.
