David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider, has a pet peeve about NBA Draft coverage and needs a therapy session. Everyone loves everyone and that is not the reality of the NBA Draft and what it takes to make it in the NBA.
Locke takes a look at Jarace Walker and Taylor Hendricks and while their is a lot to love about both of these players, there are legit issues that will make a transition to the NBA a hard task.
NBA Finals Game 2 is in the books and the narrative is Miami flipped Nikola Jokic into a scorer is that really what happened?

Did Grady Dicks value go up after Miamis win last night where Vincent hit 4 of 6 3 point shots and Miami won because they made a lot more 3 point shots than Denver. Non shooters could fall in the draft.
I see 3 tiers of players for the top 9.
Tier 1: Wemby, Scoot, and Miler are likely to make an All NBA Team
Tier 2: Thompson twins and Cam Whitmore are likely to be All Stars and possibly All NBA if they realize their potential
Tier 3: The next group of players: Ant, Walker, Hendricks are high level role players and could make a few All Star games.
If you consider that it's likely that at least one player in each of these tiers does not hit, that still leaves this draft as a pretty good one if I'm correct. The Jazz really needed a top 6 pick! We won some very losable games. It's a head scratcher.
good morning y'all!
I guess I assume/hope that with NBA coaching, these players you are concerned about are likely to be able to develop an average shot. I think you have to assume/hope for this or you're forever drafting role players with less than ideal length and only average athleticism, unless you happen to have the top pick in the draft.
Nice T-shirt….I ate there yesterday in Bellevue.
Nice workšš¾ small dose of reality is needed at tines š

Your right Locke. If you can find a couple of guys to improve your G League and practice team on a rookie wage scale, you did just fine in the draft. Itās a bonus if you manage to draft even better.
