Utah Jazz Select Walter Clayton Jr, Pick 18 (Trade)

[NUMBERICA]

IF his shot translates, he's a nasty player to have. Payton Pritchard 2.0

If it doesn’t he might waive a towel.

Brunson 2.0.

Flame away, my brodies

So Walter Clayton gets the Jamal Murray comps and so does Keyonte... do we have 2 Jamal Murray's at home!!!

it should be noted that at age 21, Murray averaged 18 and 5 on 53.8 TS. Key at age 21 averaged 17 and 6 on 53.9 TS%. In Murray's next season he went for 18 and 4 on 55.9% TS. Key is actually very similar to Murray with perhaps better PG skills - just needs to continue a slight improvement in efficiency to reach that level.

You gotta stop doing the PPG/APG analysis on Key. We all know better.

The post where you once again evaluate Key in terms of PPG/APG and TS%? Yes I did. Key at 21 was not close to Jamal with better PG skills at 21. Stop it.

I mean, it's going to translate to some degree. The guy is an elite shooter. Just remains to be seen if he's an elite NBA shooter, but he's definitely going to be a guy who can shoot.

If you truly think the only way to evaluate players is through that simple scope, I've got nothing for you. I thought we were in a place where our analysis went beyond that but I guess not.

I mean, the timeline fit is very weird because Ace is like 4-5 years away and Clayton is ready to go right now, but I guess the Jazz just picked two guys they liked.

Philosophically, it's kind of funny to take two blackholes to join a roster full of blackholes. At least these guys have defensive upside.

Clayton is such a bad fit with Keyonte, Sexton, and Clarkson that I assume we're trying to trade all three, but they've been trying and failing to trade a lot of these guys for minute.

Ace might be 4 to 5 years from entering his prime but he will likely be a really solid player by year 2.

i'm asking you to teach me. tell me how murray was different that translated into him being a better player. i'm clearly missing something in your mind, but i don't know what that is. so help me out.

and it's okay if you don't have anything. i get it. sometimes it's just easier to tell people they are wrong.
