Rest Easy, The Jazz Will Be Awful

Man, what a turnaround the Jazz could have in 2 years if we got Scoot or Victor.

Make no doubt Victor is the prize here.

I think Locke has been throwing out big hints about the fact that 6'-1" lead playmakers are going extinct in the NBA. In a few years half the teams will have 6'-8" playmakers. He's mentioned it on his last video and on the scrimmage broadcast. As excellent as Scoot has played in the G League when is the last time a 6' guard was the #1 guy on a championship team? Isaiah Thomas and the Pistons back in the day? Steph Curry is a few inches taller but there will likely never be another player who can create that kind of gravity not to mention Draymond is the defacto playmaker for them. Locke also made mention that both the Jazz PG's Conley and Sexton are both over 40% catch and shoot guys. They seem to be having their bigger wings such as NAW initiate the offense. It's moving more toward positionless basketball.

If they don't get very, very lucky to land #1 than I would think DA probably has enough draft capital between their own lottery pick and all the future unprotected picks to land which ever prospect he wants in this coming draft. Someone like Amen Thompson really fits the bill as a big 6'-7" wing that can create and playmake.

Scoot 6'2 with a 6'9 wingspan.

If the Jazz draft 2 you definitely take Scoot and figure it out. He has all of the tools and can collapse the defense. I like the idea of Amen, but the limited body of work we have to compare him with and his rough shot gives me a lot of pause. I'd probably take him 3rd at this point though and be real excited about it.

looks like might be close but my guess is he is shorter and not as long if Ignite records as bad as they have been in the past are inflating his anthro.
Jalen Green for example is 6'4 not 6'6 like he was listed in the g. They don't care about it anyway if you can fly though

They are more likely not drafting 1-4 imo

Why, because we beat the Blazers? Houston beat the Toronto team that buried us by double digits. You think they are not tanking either? OKC beat Denver by 11. Are they out of the tank race as well?

If you really think Ainge is going to push for the play in, I don't know what to tell you.
 
Portland is getting destroyed by the Kangs. We might just suck after all.

Someone needs to create a quality tank tracking thread, but since it will be around all year it better be good.

Rule #1:
Never trust preseason. It only matters if it does. Otherwise, it doesn't

Rule #2:
You can't tell if it matters yet (and probably not for at least a month).
 
Suggs for Orlando apparently out for a bit. Think that helps us as he was horrid last year and the team can't be worse with him gone right?

All joking aside... pray for the good players in Washington, Orlando, Detroit to stay healthy beginning of the year to boost ownership's resolve not to tank hard. Get that play in spot boys!
