If there’s a player that nobody is talking about who I think the front office secretly loves, it’s Bruno Fernando.

The Ringer updated their mock draft. They have us taking Thybulle and Brazdeikis. Keldon Johnson moved from 27 to 16. Hachimura from 23 to 12. Claxton from 42 to 17. PJ Washington from 10 to 19. Ty Jerome from 29 to 22. Kevin Porter Jr. from 13 to 26. Windler from 22 to 29. Dort from 25 to 34. Okpala at 38. Bruno Fernando from 34 to 42. Paschall from 47 to 44. Daniel Gafford at 46. Jontay Porter from 45 to 56.

I take Windler at 23 unless someone much higher falls.I think the 'unexpected' things that Bruno showed in the workout include his passing and his mid-range shooting. He's got some skills, and he has a few offensive moves from mid-range that are comparable to Deandre Ayton (though Bruno is a couple inches shorter). Combine that with the fact that Bruno has a body and athleticism that's almost on par with guys like Derrick Favors, young Dwight Howard or Alonzo Mourning, and yeah, he's a nice prospect. His problems seem to have been his awareness on defense in certain situations, but Kabengele gets some of the same criticism.
One way or another, the Jazz are going to lose Favors within a year, and they may be willing to draft a big. It's probably not their first choice to draft a big, but I think the Jazz like both Bruno and Kabengele. There's a good chance that one of them is available at #23. I think they're probably intrigued by Claxton too, but he's so raw that he's more of a project.
I think Walt Perrin telegraphed too much yesterday how much the Jazz love Bruno. If they do draft him Bradley ought to enjoy life in China or Australia.
In my opinion there is literally 0 chance PJ Washington drops to 23.PJ Washington with an outside chance of dropping to 23 is nice.
I feel like my dream relatively realistic scenario right now is Talen Horton-Tucker at 23 and Jaylen Hoard at 53.
I actually really hope we trade the 1st round pick for either two 2nd round picks or an asset and a 2nd pick right. I really like the depth in this draft and like our chances of landing a solid player with 2/3 second round picks as much as I do our first round pick. The contracts would also be non-guaranteed so we wouldn't be locked into it like we are Bradley.
