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

[Saint Cy of JFC]

3 months...

Meant more like we are set with him as the for sure long term guy

Could be, I like him a lot....but I suppose we have a shared letdown wishing we had a former Illini player

Also fitting they went back to back

I like this pick more at 18 more than Ace at 5 and even more excited if it means moving on from Keyonte.

I'm not trying be Mr. Hindsight 20/20.....but are these two picks not the most obvious "Ainge" picks possible? Both the players and where we got them.

Yes, I would agree.

That makes both picks.

I hope the little **** works out. He may have preferred Miami but 1.2% of our games will be in Miami anyway.

If WCJ is good we really have no need for Keyonte. He needs to be dealt

ATL had interest in Key at some point? But no way they give up the pick they just got from NOP. Had it been a reasonable trade from NOP, I think that could have turned into a 3 teamer.

It wouldn't shock me if WCJ was the starting PG in 3 years

We’d be in trouble if true.. he isnt a true point guard.

Yeah but we will have AJ Dybansta and Ace Bailey

 

[LoPo]

I absolutely love this pick. The guy has so much talent. Maybe he doesn’t have the explosiveness or bounce of others, but he creates space through clever movement. He gets to good spots on the floor. He can shoot off the dribble or spotting up. Most of all, he’s a leader. Has the swagger of a Brunson or FVV.

I think it’s a great pairing to have him with Ace. The two of them can work to push each other being in the situation where they might not have gone where they wanted.

 

[phippsj]

Don’t understand anyone hating on this pick… it’s a great pickup at this position in the draft

Clayton reminds me a little of Damian Lillard with the way he creates space along with deep range and sneaky athleticism.
