Wow Bailey to Jazz, did not expect that one, unless they traded it

Interesting.

He's done as far as I'm concerned.

AK gave it a shot with Ball/DeRozan/LaVine/Vooch and we made hay until the kid got hurt

Jazz make the right pick. No doubt. Highest upside remaining by a mile.

Kon went high

Well Bailey's definitely going to get starter minutes in Utah, I guess. Surely this is the part of the draft where we'll see a trade or a reach! Where's the spice!

Tankathon.com 5/5 so far.

I shouldn't be surprised. Ainge went for the player with the most upside.

Jazz called his bluff. Unless there is a trade in the works.

I've never been a fan of the way the NBA draft handles trades. Wish they could announce the picks being swapped before being made.

Over Lauri & Collins? I don't see it. But lots of offseason left for trades.

My big board

C-Derik Queen-Maryland

G-Tre Johnson-Texas
PG-Kasparas Jakuciois-Illinois
G-Jeremiah Fears-Oklahoma

F-Collin Murray-Boyles-S Carolina

F-Rasheer Fleming-St Joseph's

F-Carter Bryant-Arizona
F-Asa Newell-Georgia

I just hope Maluach and Demin go before we pick

Welp let's see if ACE stays there, but I guess he will be playing PG because they don't have 1 lol

Maybe he won't start, but he can get a good amount of minutes.

Someone has to back up SF. Lauri can move over to PF at times.

My gut says a trade has occurred that we dont know the details of yet, likely someone moved into the Top 10 to get him

Should be Tre/Fears next in whatever order, then it will get interesting.

Maluach would be a steal at 12. Why not? He’s got plenty of upside, would be a great get if he slides to us.

He's a huge project. Basically did nothing this year but lob dunks. The type of player that busts very often.
