What would you do if Jazz draft Kon Knoepple at #5?

[SoberasHotRod]

Well one of VJ, Tre or Ace would be left on the board… are you saying none of those are potential homerun swing?

It doesn't matter what I think, it's what the Jazz think.

It doesn't matter what I think, it's what the Jazz think.

Well do you think it would be smart or stupid of them to not swing at one of VJ, Tre or Ace but instead take a bunt with Knipple?

If Kon is elite at multiple skills like shooting, passing, ball handling, IQ, etc but not athletic maybe he is worth taking at #5

 

[Elizah Huge]

It’s Tre Johnson or Kon Knueppel at 5 for me at this point.

 

[KqWIN]

I agree that Kon is safe….don’t necessarily think he’s lower potential than the other options. I think #5 is fairly weak this year, however, and Kon potentially going 4 or 5 reflects that.

i'd hope he's really good at playing nba basketball

 

[David Hume]

At this point, I really want one of Tre Johnson, Ace Bailey, or VJ Edgecombe at 5.

I think we missed out on swinging for the fences by not getting the #1 or #2. After Flagg I don't see a bonafide star and even though Harper looks the part of an NBA star I'm not sold on him either. After that though I think any of these guys could be great or a total bust so I'd be totally fine drafting an elite shooter and then hoping we find our home run elsewhere.

There needs to be an option that is not extreme. In the 5th spot it is a crapshoot so I would be wait and see. I was impressed with him the few times I watched Duke play.

 

[HeatCheck]

Useless trivia but Kon's dad is also named Kon. His brother's names are Kager, Kinston, Kash and Kid.

 

[fishonjazz]

Would go watch a bunch of Duke games after to convince myself he is the best prospect of the past decade

What, we don't have any obscure Aussies out there that haven't been seen or heard of for over a year but have huge upside?
