I would probably agree with your take but why do you see Flip as equal to Lauri, Walker and Key? He looked very, very forgettable this year.

Flip is in his sophomore slump for real. Kessler hit that wall as well. I am hoping Flip works through it the way Kessler did. If he does, he should be very solid, has the potential to be a higher-level Kelly Olynyk which is not a bad thing at all. One of those guys like Lamar Odom that is necessary for a high-competing team.
 
I had some hope for Cody after this year's Summer League but that shows the difference between Summer League players and your average Association player. Cody better start practicing his Chinese.
 
Hendricks looked like the worst player on the floor today for the Stars. You never want to jump to too many conclusions based on one game, especially for a young player coming back from injury, but the thing that concerns me is that it wasn’t a surprise. I think he’s just not that good. I’m a Hendricks fan, I hope I’m wrong, he’s still very early in his career, but my gut is that my dude just ain’t it.
 
Sometimes I think about the fact that Cody Williams and Taylor Hendricks are two of our three lottery picks we've had so far in this rebuild, and then I get really depressed.

I have no idea why we can't just call it like it is: the drafting has been horrible and there's been zero high level accountability for it.

That's what happens when you have a weak owner who cares more about business than winning.
 
There's a decent chance neither Hendricks or Cody Williams produce even close to replacement level minutes at any point in their Jazz career and that's pretty bleak for back to back top 10 picks.

I would imagine Cody gets his 4th year option declined and Hendricks doesn't get a QO after his 4th year.

Hendricks could turn it around as maybe he's struggling post injury, but I do think it's over for Cody.
 
I'm thinking the Jazz will keep Hendricks as a long-term development project and see if they can make him into their version of Serge Ibaka. That archetype 3D forward has a lot of value.

It would if he could block shots but I'm not sure he can anymore. The Jazz have way too many guys (and have 4 firsts in the next two drafts) to hold onto marginal players. Hendricks, Brice, and Cody are probably gone summer 2027.

He was going to be limited due to his lack of ball skills. However, if his movement is now hampered from the injury, it's going to be tough sledding.
