Love watching your breakdowns man! I’m extremely intrigued on what the Jazz will do on draft night. I could really see them walking away with a dynamic guard along with Taylor Hendricks.
Who do you like for the wolves if they stay at #53?
Appreciate this draft preview.
I think that if Scoot is taken at 2, Miller isn't as obvious as most draft experts think. I really think that one of the twins are in heavy consideration here instead. The twins worked out in Portland and they really liked them a lot. I'm not so sure they are so high on Miller for a number of reasons.
Nice options presented at 23, I would just add Rayan Rupert if he is still available to this list. He met with the Blazers, had dinner, etc. and I know they really like him as he fits the type of player that both Cronin and Billups love.
They also brought Castleton in for a workout and really liked him too. At 43, he might be the choice.
How many championships does this division have?
Miller comp is Middleton.
My favorite for the nuggets to choose would be Andre Jackson. That man is a menace in defense and a great playmaker. I think he could make an impact right away even could play at PG with the way he plays
Siakam straight up for #3 pick is what i'm hoping for if they can stay healthy a lineup w/ Dame, Simons, Grant, Siakam and Nurkic w/ Sharpe, Thybulle, Winslow, Eubanks and Watford being a strong and versatile second unit. Also sign some big meat bag like Dwight Howard to bang with Jokic in any potential playofff series.
Jazz need Wallace and Hendricks and overseas center Tristan
I hopefully Portland will get amen at 23 Sacramento brother Murray 43 center out of u conn
Adam, I love you breakdowns, but man, you’re getting the jazz just flat wrong here. Yes, I think they need a point for the future, but they’re going to take BPA and are prioritizing wings and positional size. Again, not saying you’re wrong about them needing a leading guard, but I think they’re going to looking for wings (the more valuable position) over a lead guard
