What's new

The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

Kelel Ware averaged 18.5 / 11.5 through six preseason games. He's going to be Miami's starter and should average a healthy double-double this year. I had him marked as a lottery guy and a top-5 player in that draft class. That said, I also had Cody and Knecht as top-5 guys in that class, so win some, lose some...
 
I would have Castle and Risacher above them, and probably McCain as well.

McCain maybe, but he's a tough archetype. I'm not entirely sold on Risacher or Castle. Risacher will probably be a good, valued wing. Castle I don't know what to think. I wouldn't be surprised if Buzelis or Ware become all stars, be fairly surprised if anyone else did.
 
Pippen Jr is out at least 12 weeks. The Grizzlies are definitely tanking this season. JJJ and Edey are also out
 
My prediction for the top-5 guys in the '24 class were Sheppard, Castle, Ware, Cody and Knecht. I'm not completely sold in Buzelis yet, but he's up there, as is Jared McCain in Philadelphia. Another guy is Jaylen Wells from the 2nd round, but I never actually watched him. Filipowski deserves an honorable mention, at the least.

I have no idea what happened to Knecht. He seems to have lost his confidence and aggressiveness. He got a bad start in LA, then got sent back to LA in that rescinded trade with Charlotte. He could probably use a change of scenery at this point.

They've still got Ty Jerome and KCP in their backcourt. They'll tread water. But yeah, they're pretty snakebit.

I honestly think the Jazz might be better than Phoenix. They've got Mark Williams and Maluach at the 5. They've got Royce O'Neale and Ryan Dunn at the 4. Dillon Brooks is a dolt.
 
MEM is going to realize they can't make the playoffs and quit. Remember, they've already traded Bane. They are not necessarily a team that's committed to winning now.

Green out to start the year tho. Very thin on playmaking.

They have Booker, they play better defense than us ( which is not difficult). Still see them in front of us.
