Should the Jazz draft a player at 16 who compliments the deficiencies of who was taken at 9?



Leif Thulin breaks down the strengths and weaknesses of players commonly though of as candidates to be taken at 9 and then finds players at 16 who have strengths that compliment the deficiencies of the top pick. Leif discusses Anthony Black, Ausar Thompson, Jarace Walker, and Taylor Hendricks as picks to explore at 9 and finds potential fits for players available at 16 who compliment the weaknesses of pick 9 the very best as foils for one another.

  1. Choosing fit over best player available is how Utah drafted Dwill over CP3. Utah was turned off of small point guards due Raul Lopez (6’0) getting constantly hurt and because sloans system required a ton of screens by the point guard. They went with fit over best player available.

  2. I hear Cam Whitmore is dropping, perhaps to where the Jazz can draft him at 9. Ausar Thompson would be good too, and I admit I am less than thrilled with a PG that cannot shoot at least a little. I guess my dream draft would be perhaps Black, Whitmore or Thompson at 9, Kobe Bufkin at 16 if he's available and Clowney at 28.

  3. It dont matter either way! In the long run they'll either be a superstar that eats up alot of cap space then they leave or we trade them for alot of picks before they can leave in fa and we can still be in the same spot. Utah has a bad stigma created by the poor victimized oppressed black man who has been a slave(but allowed to play in the nba

  4. Bufkin at 9 over Black and Wallace? Kobe probably won't be there at 16. I'd still love to see the Jazz move up on that second pick so that we might take Bufkin second.

  5. I would absolutely be despondent if the draft went Black/Hawkins at 9 and 16
