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

Looks like Jamal Murray to me

I honestly didnt spend a whole lot of time on WCJ, but damn, he is a really good shooter.

Purely because I knew him from the NCAA tournament I spent more time on him than his draft stock suggested I should and I ended up loving his shot making and... pure baller attitude. He is hyper competitive and he has a skill that can make you a hero or a zero with that attitude. I ended up ranking him really high on my board(no. 10 I think). I think he will be starting for us sooner rather than later.

I guess the actual scouts and teams werent as high on Kas as the internet analysts. I mean we traded up for WCJ instead of him, and we have more reason to go for young prospects than Miami does.

WCJ seems cool, but, yeah, it's hard for me when Kas and Wolf were still on the board.

I think he'll be able to do Brunsony things. I'm just not sure where he fits in the short-term. If he plays so well in the short-term that he commands minutes, I wonder if he pushes Keyonte or Collier off the floor? If we don't find new homes for Sexton and Clarkson, then the minutes-crunch is pretty severe.

he's a year and a half younger than Clayton.

Minor note: Keyonte is 8 months younger than Clayton.

Obviously WCJ was their guy and in a different tier than those two, or they never trade up.

The Jazz need connective pieces and passed on two of the best connective pieces in the draft. They also need high level defensive play makers and didn't try to fill that gap either.

On the other hand, now that we have Ainge, it feels like we will have a lot of roster changes, so those gaps might not be what they are today in a few months.

I absolutely love WCJ FWIW.

Best thing about the trade is that I'm about to be in a no cell service area and so I won't have to worry about who pick at 43 anymore.

Austin (Acutally Danny) giving Pat Riley the finger

Can you help a brother out and say a few words about what I should expect about roster changes going forward? I don't pay attention to the details the way I used to, but I know this time of year looks really different right now because of teams facing the 2nd apron, a very underwhelming free agency class, etc. In other words, if I'm expecting Austin & Co to shake up the roster, when are the key dates? Could we see some action today (particularly Clarkson and Collins? Maybe Sexton?)??

Jazz must think there will be no one worth taking at 43 to trade it away?
So what about 54? Maybe a chance?
Maybe Jazz trade away a vet or two today for second round picks?

kinda realizing i might be the only jazz fan who is still bullish on key.

I still am as well.
