I don't know if he moves well enough to be an elite perimeter defender but I do think he can become a Cliff Robinson type of player that is solid guarding almost any position. Offensively I think he projects pretty closely to what we saw from a prime Cliff Robinson. Robinson was ahead of his time when it comes to being a high volume 3pt shooting big.

As the Nuggs I'd like to see the three rooks, Bazely and Lofton start to see if they can start the game a little better than in games past. What's the worst that could happen?

I hated him because I hated the blazers but he I loved his game. He would have been even better in this era which is perfect for his game. Those blazers teams from 89-90 to 91-92 have to be some of the best teams to never win a title.

What I don't understand about the Jazz front office is why did they wait a year to blow it up? The year to do it was last year for a chance at a player barring injury will be an all time great. I am glad that they finally decided to yet the young guys play and even though they are losers of 11 or 12 straight it was time to evaluate our young guys and to develop them.
The entire process these last 2 years has been strange with plenty of mixed signals.

I still believe that the jazz front office thought that we would suck after trading gobert, Mitchell, Royce, bogey etc.
I still think that they thought Sexton was the best win now piece we were getting in the two trades and that he wouldn't be particularly good. I think they thought we would be pretty bad right out the gate and then be able to really increase the tank later in the season (like we are doing now) and end up a bottom 3 or 4 team.
But Lauri exploded (most improved player of the year award winner) Kessler (a late first rounder) played great, Conley had more in the tank than expected, Beasley was shooting it like Steph Curry, we had basically zero injuries etc.
I think the plan was to suck and be in the running for wemby. Then we are 10-3 and the best team in the NBA. Hard to intentionally ruin a team when you are the best team in the league.
Then we come back down to earth and the front office decided that a possible first round exit didn't have the best value so they traded dudes and picked up assets and improved their own pick.

They tried. They were getting low ball offers for Conley and they performed way better than everyone expected.

If it was to blow it up earlier it should've been the offseason after that Clippers series loss where they decided It was a good idea to run It back the very same team, not to look into any trades either way (either use assets to bring more talent in or blowing It up right there).
That season was a way worse waste of time than the past two (tho the Collins trade really helds our rebuild back)

I loved me some Uncle Cliffy with his headband. Even when he was on Survivor
