came out with their Mock and the draft board is not totally going the way I think Jazz fans want it to go um you know we had our big draft uh before I went on break and huge thanks to Leaf toen the episode Friday with Tony Jones was amazing Leaf did such great job all week long uh mixing players he might want NBA Trey Murphy or Patrick Williams I listen to all the shows um as well as uh just kind of breaking down the players and he’s such a good draft expert he’s better far better than I am on a bunch of this stuff I’m might I’m gonna try to have leaf on tomorrow so he and I can go back and forth kind of as our last final Tuesday edition before a Wednesday also hoping to host a Reddit AMA for jazz fans on the Utah Jazz subreddit on Tuesday uh at some point trying to decide what time um right now so that that’s that’s the plan here uh so a bunch of stuff going on for you uh coming up all right our finals Cody Williams beat nicolea topic 51% to 48% like a very very close vote um on between Cody Williams and nicoa topage so it does look as though topage is gonna be available it does not feel as though Cody Williams can be available the top of the draft top seven seem to be the same guys now if we could have a draft night surprise dton connect still stuns me he’s going to go top seven otherwise the rest of the guys are there ESPN’s latest mock draft has Rob Dillingham the small point guard out of Kentucky who leavs very high on Tony Jones was not as high on um is number eight and then Cody Williams goes nine to Memphis and that leaves the Jazz with a choice of four players in most people’s mind deavin Carter point guard out of Providence uh Saloon the youngest player in the draft uh out of France I believe um six good body thick body big body um and showing some signs in some big playoff games recently you heard Leaf talk about that a lot Ron Holland who is the g-league ignite number two high school player in the country who then had a not great g-league ignite year did not show a lot of touch around the rim nor did he show um any shooting ability and then uh or nicolea toic so let’s turn to guys who know it better than I do and get the breakdown on those players let’s start we’re going to kind of it’s a lot of leaf here again but this is our draft um and then some other guys here’s Andy Patton on Devin Carter Andy Patton host locked on College providence’s Point Guard Devin Carter is perhaps the most versatile guard in this entire draft class I’m Andy Patton the host of the locked on college basketball podcast Carter is a six foot three guard who did a little bit of everything last year for Kim English and the Friars armed with an elite 6 foot eight Wings span Carter is a highlevel Defender and rebounder for his position who averaged just under 20 points per game last year while posting Elite defensive numbers and shooting about 38% from three Carter’s length and defensive chops are reminiscent of a pair of Boston guards Drew holiday and Derek white and while that’s a tough ceiling it is Within Reach For The Versatile guard for more on Devin Carter the Big East and all things college basketball check out the locked on college basketball podcast on YouTube or wherever you get Podcast so I watched Carter a little bit more last night knowing it’s clear he’s going to be on the board at 10 for the jack I mean there could be a surprise obviously he could go to San Antonio at eight um or Memphis I doubt it at nine with Marcus Martin jar he does understand the game beautifully snakes the pick and roll plays the game in that sense he does play really hard uh which I love as a skill he is physical he does defend there’s a lot to like out of Devon Carter the first time I watched Devin Carter if you go back about three weeks ago as the show where I was like this draft is not that bad I’m watching these guys and they’re fine um so Devin Carter is is legit the question on Carter a little bit is as Leaf talked about all week he shot well last year but he didn’t shoot well in Prior years at South Carolina and so is that real or did it just come together um but I do think you put together play hard good understanding of the game good understanding of how to play the pick and role physical I want guys we need some toughness I think that matches uh pretty well so that was that’s really what it feels like our first choice is let’s go to the young Frenchman uh Saloon uh who Leaf tells us a little ton Salon played at cholay Basket in France and is a Hot Topic in draft circles and deservedly so as he might have the most potential in the NBA draft I’m Lea tulen of the locked on NBA big board and here’s what’s to know about ton he’s a 6 foot n 205 pound Wing who’s only 18 years old and has played his best basketball late into the season and into the playoffs leading cholet to an upset quarterfinal win hitting big shot after Big Shot scored 19 points in a playoff game he averaged 10 points and four boards on the season but just one look at the film and you’re quickly convinced of his ability to translate to and eventually thrive in the modern NBA because he’s huge plays with tremendous hustle and his shot inspires Faith despite decent shooting numbers another thing I love about Salon is he does not shy away from the moment as many youngsters and growing Shooters do and he compare that with the athletic traits that Bodwell for defensive rebounding as he matures for more on tjon Salon Listen to Locked on NBA bigboard on YouTube or wherever you get your podcast so the thing on salon’s the body is impressive like there’s a bunch of young kids and even you know rasher or bouas I’m not sure their bodies are as impressive as as salon’s body is um and how he he’s just thick and strong and moves well and uh you’d have to know though he’s super super young uh the next one to look at that we’ve talked about in this group of the four uh comes down is is nicoa topic uh and uh toage is the one who tour his ACL he’s out of Serbia 66 guard here’s what Leaf said about him nicoa toic is Serbian guard who plays for red star in belgrad Serbia as an interesting player and it will be interesting to see where he lands due to tearing his ACL recently but he does boast unique skills a big point guard who thrives in the pick and roll I’m Lea tulen of locked on NBA big board and topage to me if everything goes perfectly could have the most desirable skill set of the draft as an offensive weapon who will distribute and score out of the pick and roll using his 6 foot6 200 PB frame topic averaged nearly 15 points and six assists this season and demonstrated that skill set with an 89th percentile pick and roll operating ability which is classified as excellent percentage and then his shot becomes the question is it good enough to punish the defenses that dare him to shoot or grow under screens as he’s a crafty driver to the basket who couples size and strength and creativity to finish off plays himself despite lacking topend speed nor Elite topend athleticism time will tell and tune in to lockt on NBA bigboard or on YouTube or your favorite podcasting app to hear more thoughts on topage so when I first dug into topic I was pretty excited and the idea that he to his ACL and he might slip to 10 felt like really good idea felt like it was a great break for the Jazz we even did a show on it I have to admit The more I’ve watched him the more concerned I am about the shot it’s really flat he’s never shot it well and he’s got to stretch it out a little bit the European line is is much closer to the NBA line than the college line so it’s not as big a deal for him but it is concerning to me if he really the fact is if he can’t shoot it then it’s it’s just not going to work like all the other skills fall apart if he can’t shoot it because then everyone’s going under the picks on him he doesn’t have the room that’s a big con that’s a bigger concern to me than the ACL and speaking of guys who can’t shoot this is maybe one of the most interesting because everything about this looks great Ron Holland’s body is amazing G League ignite last year has was the number two high school player in the country gets in a terrible situ the number one player coming in the was Isaiah CER and the number two was ronand and they both got into just terrible situations USC was a mess and so was uh the whole g- league ignite to the point which they canceled it but Ronald H Holland 68 210 he looks exactly like Harrison Barnes when he runs the problem is he shot 24% from three the only guy who’s ever come close to shooting that from three and then turning out to be viable maybe is Jonathan kaminga and I’m not sure he is a viable shooter yet here’s what Leaf said about Ron Holland Ron Holland of the g-league night plays with Incredible energy and is a very good athlete who figured his way into scoring nearly 20 a game in the g-league despite a poor shooting season I’m Lea tulen of Lockton NBA big board and Ron Holland is a Livewire athlete who measures in at over 6 foot6 without shoes and has the capacity to impact the game defending the perimeter early in his career but despite entering the year ranked at the top of the draft boards his lack of offensive polish is scaring teams away his upside as an 18-year-old who just scored 20 per game in the g- league adding seven boards as a plus athlete makes him a polarizing Prospect because he may boast one of the higher ceilings but if his offense does not translate Holland reminds me some of Josh oogi on the other end on the higher end he reminds me some of RJ Barrett but a right-handed version Holland will be divisive with his swing skill being shooting for more on Ron Holland tune in to locked on NBA bigboard where you can listen to recent episodes on YouTube or wherever you get your podcast all right so those are the four that looks like the ja will be choosing from in our NBA Mock Draft we just did on lockdown that’s where we had to make our choice Devin Carter nicoa toic tjon Salon Ron Holland where you going put in the chat room right now on YouTube hit me on X at delock o9 if you’re listening on the audio version where do you go at that point I got to say that doesn’t feel like the draft board’s breaking the way I’d want necessarily but but on the other end those are basic 10th pick that that to me is not a draft that’s worse than any other draft and maybe it’s just Cody Williams is not available is all I’m really saying um because I don’t know if I think Dalton connect sliding to 10 is a great thing um so I don’t know who necessarily the player is that sliding to 10 that would excite me that much um my feeling on that one is that positional size the Jazz dropped Ron Holland and hope they can turn him into a shooter the three assists and three steals a game jump out to me on the Ron Holland tape the concern to me is obviously the shooting the other one is that when he got beat defensively I did not see him slide his feet back into position but that might be because he was going up against grown men instead of college players Topic’s shooting scares me Carter all good no problem there if you do that and Salon I probably just don’t know enough but the body physically at 18 years old and if you have time might be there I am nervous on players that don’t hit the g gladwellian 10,000 hours or the Ericson 10,000 hours I like players who have played and been in the game for a long time and I’d have to know more about tjan salon’s background and whether or not he’d played enough there is one other player that I think we should consider at that point I’ll share with you who he is next because I really like him and some thoughts on what we might have at 2932 range as well from our draft experts it’s all as we continue on today’s edition of locked on Jazz Today’s Show is brought to you by Murdoch Chevy located in Woods Cross

day second listen NBA big board or locked on NBA getting you ready for the NBA Draft today so when you’re ready to finish with this one go grab the next one plus if you missed any of last week’s episodes on locked on Jazz Leaf to lean and did a great job Friday episode with Tony Jones was great all right I have a person person Al favorite in this draft I really like Duke’s Jared McCain and the reason Jared McCain is sliding is because he’s a little small and because of the fact that he not only is he a little small but he is a little small and he is he did not play point guard for Duke and he’s gonna have to play point guard in the NBA because he’s 6’2 and maybe I’m just deciding that he’ll be fine but when I look at McCain’s numbers 87th perti transition okay that’s a sign that you really on a 100 opportunities not a lot of isolation but decent chance 70% Rim potential is very good for a 6-2 guard 93% down the pick and roll so he ran 69 pick and rolls last year and he was in the 93rd percentile the only guy in the draft who’s better than that is Baylor shyan is in the 95th teren Shannon or 99th Terence Shannon’s in the 95th presenta those are the only guys better than Jared mckin he’s the third best guard in pick and roll and you’re telling me he can’t play point guard I don’t see that I see Jared McCain if if if the Jazz go Devin Carter I might go Jared mcain Carter’s a little bigger but he’s also two years older and Devin McCain can and Jared McCain can really really shoot it so he’s the third best pick and roll guard he’s in the 80th per down spot up and the other thing you got to be able to do is dribble if you’re gonna play point guard in the NBA you gotta be able to shoot off the bounds okay he’s the best off the bounds shooter in the draft Ty the only guy who’s better is Reed Shepard at the 99th percentile then tan Shannon Jr’s in The 91st percentile and Jared McCain is in the 81st percentile and dribble off the bounds so there’s a few guys that are better 91st percentile KJ Simpson Bob Carrington 83rd percentile Hunter Salis who pulled out of the draft Rob dillingham’s right there but he’s basically the same as Rob Dillingham and everyone says that’s Rob Dillingham super skill he’s better right on the same level his effective field goal percentage on off the bound shooting was 49% and Rob dillingham’s was 49% Rob Dillingham took 117 shots Jared McCain took 103 here’s what our on Blue Devil’s host says about Jared MCC Duke Blue Devil’s freshman sensation Jared McCain might be the best shooter in this NBA draft I am Alex Dono from locked on acc while he doesn’t have the best length at 6 foot2 McCain makes up for so much of that with his High basketball IQ his Sharp Shooting and his crafty finishing at The Rim shot 41.4% from Beyond The Arc last year played over 31 minutes per game averaging 14.3 points five rebounds two assists and one steal per contest McCain by the way he’s got 3 million followers on Tik Tok so he’s multi-talented but he’s all business when it comes to basketball that’s his number one priority the ACC all rookie and all ACC honorable mention can help an NBA team immediately with his shooting a common NBA comp for him is Seth Curry for more on Jared McCain and all things ACC follow And subscribe to locked on acc on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts no question the Seth Curry comp is not the most exciting one out there um but he and I think that’s because he’s small and he’s not quite a true point guard um we’ll see that’s just a personal favorite we’ll see over time whether I have any idea what I’m talking about or not at the 29th pick if you’re following the ESPN mock drafts it looks like the Jazz will have a choice between ba hopefully uh Baylor shyan who I think many of us love including my and Bobby Clinton those are the two players they have taken there’s a few names of Interest so let’s go to what ESPN has the Jazz taking at 29 in Baylor shyan who you just heard me talk about him moment ago his numbers he’s old and the old guys have a tendency to skew the numbers as we’ve talked about over the years but he’s 67 he’s 24 years old his transition percentile is good his Rim finishing is not his pick and roll ball handling is in the 99th percentile and 77 attempts he’s also three years older than like most of the guys he’s playing his spot up was in the 60th percentile catch and shoot unguarded in the 88th and his off the bound shooting was really good at 87th here’s Isaac shade on bayor Shan kraton he’s one of the best Shooters in the draft looking to make his Mark but he’s got more than that to offer I’m Isaac shade from lockon college basketball shyan’s 23 years old he’s a 67 205lb left-handed shooting guard small forward he really took things to the next level last year for kraton 18 and a half points nine boards and three and a half assists combin that with his ability to shoot 38% on on 8.3 attempts and he’s an intriguing look unanimous First Team all Big East last year teams need shooting and Baylor shyan’s got it plus his quick release and high release will allow him to get it off at the NBA level but even when the shots not falling his facilitation and rebounding will allow him to contribute his length is adequate but his size and strength are there his athleticism is lacking so defending will be difficult but Luc is out here making it give me Sam Hower as a comp for more on Baylor Shan and all things college basketball follow And subscribe to locked on college basketball on YouTube and wherever you get podcasts I watched the Providence kraton game yesterday Devin Carter Baylor shyan and what I really liked about Baylor shyan is how much he was just in the mix on everything you know rebound tapping it away from the big guy from Providence to keep it alive for his guys uh screening out drawing a foul by posting somebody up uh just moving off the ball kraton’s offense is really in the way it moves um I I liked his activity his his I do like guys will touch people like that’s one of the first things I look at in Scouts like is he willing to make contact with someone um so very impressive on all the little things on him passes one guy removed he’s a really nice player Bobby Clinton’s an interesting one he was in the draft before if his name sounds familiar to you and then instead of going he pulled out the draft instead of going back to college he went over seas and leaf toen gives a breakdown to him he’s who ESPN has the Jazz taking with the 32nd pick Bobby Clinton who last played for Karen’s taipans in the NBL and previously played for Wake Forest as an intriguing player as he’s 6’10 with a sweet shooting stroke I’m Lea tulen of Lockton MBA big board and Clinton figures to factor into the late first round early second round discussion as the Swedish big boasts a coveted skill set in the modern NBA as a player who can be a plus-size Wing who shoots it confidently Clinton averaged 10 points and five boards at for the taipans while shooting 81% from the free throw line I believe he could play the three if his foot speed improves a little bit as a mover as well as playing as more natural position as a stretch four I don’t know if he can immediately be an impact player for a team with winning aspirations likely picking in his range but Clinton can be cultivated into a valuable rotational player as he gets more comfortable with NBA athletes for more on Boby Clint subscribe to locked on NBA bigboard on YouTube wherever you get your podcast so the thing on Boby Clinton is he 610 220 like some point you just don’t get guys like that very often and so if Clinton’s available at 32 you might have to just take him because you don’t get guys that are 610 220 like you took Taylor Hendrick at nine because he was 610 220 so if you have a guy at 32 that’s available that’s probably worth doing it um another little guard that I really like is KJ Simpson probably too rich for 32 but I love when I watched Cody Williams this is the guy who jumps out to me here’s our locked on Buffs host on KJ Simpson the king of clutch himself KJ Simpson out of Colorado is in the NBA draft and will make one team extremely happy I’m Kevin borba host of locked on Buffs and I’m going to tell you everything you need to know about KJ Simpson he’s a 21-year Old Guard that was named at two all Pack 12 Conference teams one of which was a first team conference nod this past season after he averaged almost 20 points six rebounds and five assists per game while also showing the ability to be as clutch as they come he has ice in his veins he sent those Florida Gators packing in the NCAA tournament with his game winning shot his NBA comparison has to be Fred renley he’s an undersized guard that’s fearless and will shoot any shot that’s open even if it’s not he’s going to find his shot and he’s going to get to the rim shows no fear and does whatever is needed for the team he is someone who could lead an NBA team’s second unit right away and eventually could be a starter if you want more information on KJ Simpson all things Colorado follow And subscribe to locked on Buffs on YouTube or wherever you get your podcast all right those are the players that are floating around there there’s one other that I would consider that I kind of think we might actually need to trade up to really consider trading up to go get I’ll share that with you plus Kevin pelton’s numbers are completely backwards to the NBA draft we’ll talk about what that means coming up here as we continue here on lock on Jazz today’s edition of lockdown jazz is brought to you by our friends over at FanDuel FanDuel making every moment more having a great time uh making the games a little bit more fun getting into the enjoyment of all of it uh make sure you uh get into the action with our friends over at FanDuel and at fanduel.com lockon we’ve got a special deal for you right now uh coming your direction here’s what we’ve got for you if you want to get involved whether it’s you’re doing NBA maybe you’re doing Stanley Cup tonight as I mentioned I think both teams are minus 110 fanduel.com locked on all customers will get a boost or bonus daily that’s right there’s something for everyone every day all summer long so head over to fanduel.com to start making the most of the summer FanDuel official sports betting partner of Major League Baseball visit fanduel.com slocked on and at I want to check and make sure I’m right on this I think both teams tonight in game seven fairly incredible are both at a minus 110 is that right still now the Panthers are now minus 113 and Edmonton’s us 106 this is pretty incredible uh goal scores you can bet as well Conor McDavid plus 160 to get a game the spread tonight is Florida minus one and a half so Florida’s actually favored at home game seven to recover from this all taking place Cubs and Giants playing today as well that’s always fun at least for those of us it’s all at fanduel.com lockon all right Kevin Pelton does an amazing job with the numbers every year oh by the way the one other player that I think you have to kind of revisit here at some point is Isaiah CER Isaiah Collier is now at 24 in the mock drafts he was the number one pick player in the country out of high school he’s got a unique skill set in his ability to get downhill he’s incredibly strong and athletic his shot is ugly I mean like probably haven’t recovered from literally watching him like Bank in a bank a three airball Bank like it he can miss by a lot his range is wild how much he misses by um with that said boy that’s a SK a base skill it’s pretty special body speed explosion driving beating you off the bounce woo little small not as big as everybody thought he was but if he’s if you’re the Jazz and you have 29 and 32 and col your floating around 24 do you need to trade up to go get him now what’s interesting is if Baylor shyan’s really gonna be there at 29 then maybe not because I like Baylor shyan an awful lot but if suddenly shyan’s gonna go and you kind of know that if you leave the night with Isaiah Collier and you’ve used your bottom two assets to go get that that’s a pretty good flyer to me like that’s it defies a lot of stuff like we leave with Ron Holland and Isaiah Coler and we just decide to go get the number one and two high school players in the country and neither of them can shoot we better hope that our Evan Brad’s and our player development’s good because you need guys who can shoot uh but it’ll be interesting all right Kevin pelton’s numbers on the top he has Reed Shepard one Donovan kingan 2 Zack edy3 Jonathan furp out of Kansas from Australia is four jacobe Walter is six and then Jared McCain who I like so much is nine dein of our choice of our players we just had a minute ago Carter’s 21 Hollands 25 topic is 37 Saloon 34 on Kevin Pelton ESPN’s number Guru good under of the programs number system here’s what’s Wild pelon’s entire number system is backwards to the draft Stephen Castle’s 25 Rob dillingham’s 23 Ros OA is 53 Salon just mentioned is at 34 bazou is at 49 top pit is at 37 Holland at 25 Coler at 29 Cody Williams at 51 connected 76 you take the top picks of this draft rashay is likely going one he’s 53 kingan may go uh we’ll see who goes to but Donovan kingan’s up there he is number two on the draft board okay so that that one matches at least Reed Shepard goes number three he’s number three Castle goes for he’s 25th bolius goes 20 is 49 goes five six I think they’re mocking a connect or I’m forgetting somebody in that mock um checking to make sure who I forgotten here no six is connect at 76 on the numbers Donovan kingan oh number two is Alex Sor number four in the Numbers kingan’s number is seven Dillingham who is 23 goes eight Cody Williams 51 on the numbers so the top 10 picks other than Reed Shepard and Donovan kingan are not the players that the numbers are P pumping out for Kevin Pelton if you go to ESPN and re pelton’s piece he has his past number success and how it’s done and he shares where the system has been successful or unsuccessful in the past and he’s been pretty successful on this this is how why this draft is wacky and why I also think there could be a bunch of things that go off that the other one I would tell you is that’s interesting on this is that when you um he he’s is when you look at this um the Jazz are one of the teams that have drafted to the most value of his number system top five so you wonder whether that impacts the jazzel Pelton has his 2019 numbers up there he’s got some mistakes in there he shows it he’s also got some successes in there um and you wonder you know on the players who and he has his 2018s up there so you can check it out he’s pretty open to show like where his number rank is where his system is and where he thought it was going to work or not work he’s got five six years of it so check it out all on his uh article it’s pretty interesting um to see and there’s definitely been some misses drag and Bender Who We Loved um were up there some other uh some other misses along the way and some other massive successes along the way all right that is locked on Jazz today hopefully readed uh hopefully uh Reed sheeper Leaf to lean will join us tomorrow we’ll break that down Tuesday AMA Reddit coming your direction as well so thank you very much for being a part of the show today give me your pick again if you haven’t already put it in the chat room Carter salon Holland or topic if that’s the pick for the Jazz who are you taking give me your thoughts thumbs up which guy you like the most that is locked on Jazz uh today’s edition brought to you by our friends over at FanDuel thanks so

  1. Salaun is the choice, no question, at worst he is a michael porter, at best Yannis. Salaun plays on top of the basket he is coming down when he throws the ball down, the only other player in the draft that does that is SAR. I feel the Jazz will regret not taking him, but I also feel he will be gone by 10, they will need to trade up to get him. Salaun is fast, great anticipation and great work ethic. Locke, you must watch SALAUN before tomorrow. We cannont miss him. I like Carter, but he can be duplicated and the Jazz alread;y have players like him on their roster.

  2. I can't see Danny trading our guards because they were undersized and then replacing them with two new undersized guards.
    Not going to happen.

  3. Carter or topic. Carter seems like the George Hill of the draft and topic the Ricky Rubio. If topic could should he amazing but can you really teach someone to shoot better at this point?

  4. If the Jazz stay at 10 Salaune But idealy I think you would try and trade up to get a Cody Williams if it does not cost too much.

  5. With Topic, have the Utah Jazz not learned their lesson? We have had three very similar lessons:
    1. Avoid drafting PGs with knee injuries (Raul Lopez)
    2. Avoid being enticed by size (not length in this case) (Dante Exum)
    3. Avoid PGs with a flat shot (Ricky Rubio)

    I don't want to draft a player that we find out is a dud three years later for the exact same reasons.

  6. I would go with players in this order:

    1. Devin Carter
    2. Salaun
    3. Dillingham
    4. Holland
    5. Trade down a bit for Edey
    6. Topic

    Dillingham is being severely underrated lately. I get it, he's a small guard like Conley and Lowry. But he's an offensive wizard.

  7. I hope the Jazz trade picks 29, 32, & a player to move up for a second pick between 8-12 and the Jazz end up with a combo of either Carter/Topic & Williams/Salaun.
