I agree that Jarace Walker is the best player available at 9 unless Ausar Thompson falls that far. He may fit better than Taylor Hendricks but not as a secondary rim protector. Hendricks would be a better shooter and secondary rim protector. I am cooling off on Anthony Black because of shooting
Great show!
Anthony Black at 9 would be a C not an A+
Trading whatever it takes to get Scoot makes it an "A" otherwise C or B
Yea at this point id only want Black at 16. I think all he is gonna be is just a bench player. I have this weird feeling all the players the Jazz will want at each spot will be just barely missed and gone by then.
Yay Leif is back! 🙂 And he brought a friend!
A+ would mean getting Ausar at #9 or moving up a few pics to get him. Then getting Cason Wallace or Kobe Bufkin with #16.
Draft grades are silly until 3-5 years after.
Fun exercise though.
The jazz need wing and guard and shooting. Wallace might be a college beast, cant shoot, same with Black. Trade up and use other years picks to get Grady Dick and Cason Wallace
A+ : Scoot
A : Cam
B+ : Walker
B : Hendricks, Wallace, Black
B- : Bufkin
C: Bilal
If the Jazz could trade Ochai Agbaji and the 9th pick to the GSW for Jonathan Kuminga and the 19th pick, is that something you would do?
Which guard is your favorite option for the Jazz?
So you say trade up for Scoot but don’t throw out an expected number of draft picks to get him. What would it take? All three of our 2029 picks? All 4 2027 picks and then some? Just our 2023 28 pick? I mean to say trade up for Scoot at 3 is great but what do you think it will take. Like Locke says, you trade Gobert for 4 picks in hopes you get a player like Scoot. So you are going to need more than 4 picks right? How about 6/10/all 14? What is the number?
Taylor Hendricks or Cason Wallace IMO at 9
Not trading up lol
I would take Bufkin if he's there or Wallace
Walker is like a mix between Paul Millsap and Julius Randle. Hopefully he has more of the Millsap mentality
Don’t see a lot of Grady dick fans in the comments. Can’t go wrong with 6’8 and 40% shooting from three.
