Don’t draft for need… Tay is the bpa imo…

I don't have him as BPA. I think the BPA debate is Keyonte, Gradey and Cason here. Black is interesting as a defensive-minded 2/3 if the Jazz run an egalitarian, 'positionless' scheme, but I just don't trust Black to make shots.

I need to see more from Hendricks to believe he's more offensively than a stand-still shooter. If he measures out extra long, then that helps and maybe he's the guy here, imo

That’s fine… you mentioned we need guards and there are a lot available. If that’s how it fell I’d take Hendo and hope Wallace or Black fell to the Minny pick or we could finesse our way a bit higher to snag them.

Say the Minny pick is 16… I think we could trade that pick and the Lakers pick to move to 11/12ish… if the Minny pick is 14 then one of Black Wallace or George would be there most likely. So I’d take Hendo and take whatever guy is leftover from that group.
 
I really have no idea how Hendricks is being rated this high. Think he is very good, but I see a pretty limited ceiling. If you got guys like Wallace, Dick, George, Black left I don't see how you go that way
You invented liking Hendricks

Lots of good players get passed over because of a 'limited ceiling'. He's a big guy with awesome percentages at 19 years old. Do you trust his shooting to translate? Do you think he can be a serviceable defender? If so, then he'll likely be a productive NBA player. Which is always worth the draft pick.
 
The player type I want most from a physical profile and skill set perspective is a slightly bigger jimmy Butler.

That's I chose hendo. Also why I like GG

Jimmy is listed at 6 foot 7 and 230.

Both GG and Hendo are listed at 6 foot 9 and 215 (should put on some weight as they age)

I don't really trust his D to translate all that much and don't think he will ever be a self creator
