I’d like to see the jazz draft three players. Danny has a great draft track record. Then, don’t make the team better beyond that do some tanking and some getting guys some experience and progression and **** over OKC. Wait for Markkanen to get a hang nail and shut him down for the season.

WHO’S WITH ME??:p
 
I would be pretty disappointed if we traded up but that probably has more to do with me being really high on about 15 players being projected outside the lottery in most mocks.

I keep reading up and watching as much as I can on Amen. I think this is one of the strangest evaluations I can remember. You're basically drafting him straight out of HS, OTE is basically an AAU tournament, but he has the age of a college sophomore.

This is probably the best writeup I've read on him: https://theboxandone.substack.com/p/amen-thompson-2023-nba-draft-scouting

I know people really like the twins, but I’m not high on either of them. I have them both rated below Walker & Whitaker. I could probably be talked into Grady Dick and Taylor Henderson as well.

I've had them below Walker and Whitmore all year, but I might have Amen up there. I think Amen is special athletically, but I also have no faith in his jumper. I think you can be really good even without a jumper, but it's a serious limitation.

I can’t wait for the lotto.once it shakes out it will be pretty interesting if the team with the fourth pick doesn’t need a pg…

I think teams with a PG will still draft Amen if they think he is BPA. Not like he is positionally bound due to size.

I get that... its the shooting that becomes a bigger issue if he is offball more. The person with the ball has some gravity automatically.

I think enough teams will have doubts on the Thompsons that if say the Pacers or Hornets end up 4th there will be a trade up opportunity. Might be more like trading back from #4 to 6 or 7... but I could see someone moving that pick.

I could see us trying to trade up for Amen if he was available, probably not possible though.

Even if #4 doesn’t have a PG, they could have someone else higher. I think Amen will be a polarizing player amongst front offices. Some may have him 2 or 3. Others might avoid him entirely. It will be interesting for sure.

Depends on the team and their situation. If they want future picks I could see #9 plus a couple future picks getting it done.
