Kobe is great but he is not a must at 9. Marcus sasser? Sneaky good at 28
Cason we like too
Wing first then guard second if not third.
Highly recommend jazz eat some salary and improve their picks
I like Bufkin better than Wallace.
With that said I'm not taking any of 'em at 9. One of the guards (Bufkin, Hood-Schifino, or Wallace) will be there at 16.
It's wing or bust for me at 9 assuming Ainge stays at that slot.
Is this show today or tomorrow?
Christian Braun was pick 21. So crazy how we can sit and pick apart 1-10 and all over the NBA there are guys who pop and are not a top 5 pick.
READ ALL OF THIS PLEASE: Wallace needs to be our pick at 9. Best perimiter defender in the draft class. He wont even work out with the Atlanta hawks (15th Pick) after working out with the Wizards (8th Pick) who might take him at 8 so he sure as hell will not be available at 16. Toronto and OKC are heavy favorites for him as well. Bufkin, JHS, Nick Smith Jr, and Hawkins are very likely to be there at 16 though. Im taking Wallace at 9 if hes available, by far the best fit for our team, playstyle wise and positional fit. Jazz need that type of Marcus Smart, Jrue Holiday level pace of running the ball up the floor as well as a defensive menace on the other end. Such a smart, patient player that 9/10 times makes the right decision at least at the college level. His floor is really a role player, that in itself is amazing because we do not need a star PG we just need someone like a Tyrese Haliburton or De'Anthony Melton for this roster. I do not see this man falling out of the league any time soon. He would be a perfect fit next to our core 3; Ochai, Lauri, and Kessler. If we can trade up to 10 whether it be a 3 team trade, 4 team trade, im pulling the trigger. Dallas has debated trading it or using it and i say target them before its too late. IMAGINE DRAFTING WALLACE AND HENDRICKS!!!!!
MOCK TRADE:
Lakers Get:
-Collin Sexton [Via Jazz]
-Pick 28 [Via Jazz]
-Josh Green [Via Dallas]
-Tim Hardaway Jr [Via Dallas]
-2 FRP [Via Dallas]
Mavs Get:
-Lebron James [Via Lakers]
Jazz Get:
Pick 10 [Via Dallas]
Jaden Hardy [Via Dallas]
Cash Considerations [Via LAL or DAL]
(We get rid of Sextons Contract and get more cap space)
Absolutely Love this deal, would do this 10/10 times. LETS HAVE A LINEUP OF
PG: Cason Wallace
SG: Ochai Agbaji
SF: Lauri Markkanen
PF: Taylor Hendricks
C: Walker Kessler
Bench: Kobi Bufkin/THT/Dunn/Olynyk/Jones/Fonteccio/NAZ REID VIA FREE AGENCY/Pick up some other Forwards in FA
I like Bufkin SLIGHTLYYY over Hood-Schfino, Nick Smith Jr, and him and Cason are tied in my mind. Iād bet at least 2 of those guys are there at 16, with one of Cason or Kobe being there. So at 9, Iād personally take whoever is left if Ausar Thompson, Taylor Hendricks, Jarace Walker, Anthony Black, and Cam Whitmore. In my eyes thereās a pretty clear top 9 in this draft
Yes take bufkin at 9
Remember when you were excited to draft Trey Lyles?
