Edey has surprised me on the down side. He looked probably the most ready of the rookie class in the pre-season and it definitely hasn't worked out that way. It will be interesting if he gets the groove going or not.
He's been pretty good for the most part, but he's kind of a Thomas Bryant type right now. Can put up numbers with great teammates around him, but I'm not sure how much substance those numbers have yet.
Jarace Walker is starting to get traction. He did almost nothing as a rookie.
Cason Wallace had 18pts/5reb/4ast last night. He had a brutal shooting stretch to open the season, but has shot much better lately. He's shooting 58/52/83 in January.
He's increased his assists, rebounds, steals, and blocks this year compared to last. It's really just his 3pt shooting that has been down until now.

They seem to be using him a little differently this year. I see him playing more like a wing and less like a big when I've watched him.
Scoot had 39 points on 8/10 from 3 last night.

It’s be interesting to look back at that 23 draft about a year and a half in. Here’s my general feeling on how their stock has changed.
Wemby - Up
Miller - Neutral
Scoot - Down
Amen - Up
Ausar - Neutral
Black - Down
Coulibaly - Up
Walker - Neutral
Hendricks - Down
Wallace - Up
Howard - Down
Lively - Up
Dick - Up
Hawkins - Down
Bufkin - Down
George - Up
JHS - Down
Jaquez - Up
Podz - Up
Whitmore - Up
Pretty good draft class imo. More guys with stock up than down for sure.

Bad-ish news for the Jazz, it looks like the Pistons pick will convey to the Wolves this year, so they will have a pick in the late teens this year. Or it gives them a legitimate trade piece to make an upgrade to the roster this deadline.
I always thought that pick was pretty good. It was inevitable that the Pistons were going to be a lower end playoff team sometime in the next three years. I wonder what their direction will be....my guess is that they will keep the pick and draft with it. If they were going to double down on this year, I don't think they make the Towns trade.
I wonder if there will be a rift between the FO and coach. FO seems to want to build around the draft a bit, but the coach isn't playing Dillingham or Shannon. I would bet on the MIN having a different coach next season.
He was so brutally bad- it’s interesting to see the talent people see prior to a draft eventually emerge- gives me hope for Cody.
