the pick makes itself!

yea but then u might end up with the jabari smith jr of the trio

that’s exactly what the rockets did in the jabari-chet-paolo draft

They do, unless they really don’t want Wilson.

It’s Chicago that has no choice to make

 Kind of like Zion, ja, and rj but people had an inkling rj would be the worst ….but he’s been the best over time so far

Kinda like us in the Scoot draft. Obv Wemby was #1 but I was very hesitant on Scoot even predraft, so I was glad to have the 3rd pick and not have the option to pick incorrectly between him and Brandon Miller

The only prep that goes into their draft night is what you do with #16 and #32 depending on who falls to 3

We want boozer. He is the perfect fit across the board. Id much rather have 2 or 1 so we could get our guy

as a bulls fan I feel this way too lol

Bingo.

For real though, I don’t understand why anyone thinks Washington or Utah are interested in trading their pick whatsoever lol.

Yeah, though Tony Jones is one of the best NBA beat writers with a level of journalistic integrity you don’t see often - including from most at ESPN.

I believe his reporting verbatim and he has yet to be wrong.

Also opens the door for the Grizz or maybe Bulls to throw offers at them.

Ainge always has an angle… even if we don’t understand it.

More likely it’s “Hey Grizzlies, you might want to trade with us if you have your eyes set on someone”. The same thing the Wizards are trying to do to the Jazz. Everyone has incentive to not tip their cards.

Found OG’s burner

Anne Hathaway all day

Anne hathaway puttin up 2016 bron numbers

Ngl I like Florence but that’s elite company

Bruh Anne clears by a wide mile

They have the #2 pick in the draft so they will get the choice between two of them.

this is like saying you’re torn between Luka, Pascal Siakam, and Jalen Duren

OG you’re so cute

Suni lee

3 years of tanking jazz has finally got lucky. Ainge deserves credit for being shameless

I would be excited but concerned with Peterson. AJ is the best overall prospect and a likely future superstar. While Boozer lacks athleticism, he is going to be a fantastic player. Great passer, great finisher around the rim, great rebounder and can stretch the floor. Winning mentality as well. Peterson is a lights out shooter, but I dunno, the amount of games he missed, the excuses etc…. I feel like I have seen that movie before. Boozer or AJ.

It would be dope to see Cam Boozer carry on the Boozer name in Utah

Who do Jazz fans prefer ??

ace bailey type beat

Will it change his draft slot really? Maybe it’s not so bold. 

PR, he goes first and says I always knew I’d be first, he goes 2 or 3 then he says I was never aiming below number 1 because I know I’m the best in this class and now I’ll prove it. He knows he’s not dropping out of top 4

AJ could become Jabari Parker.

DP could become Markelle Fultz.

Boozer could become Anthony Bennet.

Do any of these comparisons make sense? Not really. But it’s fun to be dramatic.

As is the case for every draft. Don’t be so bold next time.

Historically it’s probably true. Although maybe it’s a Paulo / Chet / Jabari situation

If it’s a bust it’ll be AJ. He’s a bad defender - low motor and bad defensive IQ and he’s not an elite passer nor good shooter. Weak handles. So he has to really hit in the self creation department to be a star. I do think he’s overall a very good prospect though because he was very good at it in college. The downside case is I guess like Wiggins? But he was much better than Wiggins in college. I don’t think he will bust, but he has the highest bust rate of the three. Median outcome is maybe like… taller Jaylen Brown? Questionable passing, not good defense, iffy handle, mediocre shooter, pretty good self generation but not truly elite.

Darryn is too good of a shooter and too active of a defender for him to be a bust. Worst case he’s a useful 3 and D player. I think he’s by far the least likely to be a star though. His playmaking is terrible and his rim attempts/%/etc are super concerning. I don’t think he can really become a star. You’re basically banking on HS tape being more true than college tape.

Cam is too good at everything and the youngest and did nothing but win at every level. He will not bust. I think he’ll also clearly be the best player. If you want to go downside, it’s that he might have trouble scoring against elite rim protectors (I don’t agree with that but it’s a possibility) or that his shoot is a bit too slow and he won’t really be able to get it off against better defenders (that’s easy enough to work on in a gym, but Chet somewhat has this problem) or that he won’t be a good 1 on 1 defender due to his stiffness. But his motor and IQ are too high that I think at minimum he’ll be a very good off ball defender (which is more important).

Very few drafts don’t have a bust/really big disappointment in the top 5, or even top 3.

DNP

AJ no defense

I have a feeling it will be AJ. He just doesn’t have that superstar look. I can’t explain it.

Remember what happened the last time they had the 4th pick?

On draft night IIRC they will have 5 minutes to make the choice after the Wizards do, so teams figure out who they prioritize beforehand.

It’s basically saying they’re gonna be torn regardless of who the Wizards pick

Darius Acuff is a can’t miss prospect by the name test

AJ is a great name

I like the top 4 guys.

Or they’re open to trading down to 3 so they don’t have to choose 

Was gonna say this makes me feel like Ainge knows exactly who he’s picking

Who’s gonna tell him

This

4th is low?

I don’t understand why he’s so low

Probably because his offense is kinda bad, I’d guess that’s a good reason.

That’s wild. 2-3 years is not the window, especially with Keyonte, Bailey and this new pick. Those guys won’t peak for another 3-5 years, and getting the right fit around them will take some tinkering. Especially with Wemby looming.

People keep saying this but I feel his ceiling is still all nba tbh. Like, maybe his ceiling isn’t best player in the world, but he could absolutely be a stud

Stop trying to offload your trash on us lol. Garland is a back up to Keyonte George and is only marginally better than Isaiah collier.
