I think that's a good comp. But he doesn't look so laterally slow that he gets played off the court. I'm not sure where his upside is, but as a flier in the second round, I don't care too much. I can see a path where he can contribute to an NBA team.


It's good to bet on a roll man later in the draft. Lots of success stories there. Gobert, Whiteside, Jordan ect. I would much rather take two shots at a useful wing, however, because a productive wing is so much more valuable.


I think that's fair. I'm definitely in on Woodard, FWIW, the more I watch him. Hope that is the pick at 27 (unless Bolmaro is available). Getting major Miles Bridges but with defense vibes.
I'm getting a Jerome Kersey vibe from him. I was too young to see Kersey in his prime but based on the videos I have seen that is who he kind of reminds me of.

For the first time in years I won't have a board for this draft. Have barely watched any prospect...


You've had 17 years to watch this class....or so it seems :lol:

Below is a breakdown of our salary situation and what I see as our offseason this year:

Salaries now
Mike Conley $34,504,132
Rudy Gobert $26,525,281
Bojan Bogdanović $17,850,000
Joe Ingles $10,863,637
Royce O'Neale $8,035,714
Donovan Mitchell $5,195,501
Ed Davis $5,005,350
Tony Bradley $3,542,060
Georges Niang $1,783,557 (ung)
Nigel Williams-Goss $1,517,981 (ung)
Miye Oni $1,517,981 (ung)
Rayjon Tucker $1,517,98 (ung)
Total: $117,859,175

Draft picks salaries:
27. $1,977,000 [calling this Robert Woodard]
38. $898,310 [calling this Grant Riller]

I think Tucker and Goss are gone, and replaced with the rookies. If you stretch Davis his cap hit goes to: $1,668,450, which saves us $3,336,900.

1. Mike Conley $34,504,132
2. Rudy Gobert $26,525,281
3. Bojan Bogdanović $17,850,000
4. Joe Ingles $10,863,637
5. Royce O'Neale $8,035,714
6. Donovan Mitchell $5,195,501
Ed Davis $1,668,450*
7. Tony Bradley $3,542,060
8. Robert Woodard $1,977,000
9. Georges Niang $1,783,557 (ung)
10. Miye Oni $1,517,981 (ung)
11. Grant Riller $898,310
Total: $113,463,313

Salary Cap: $109,140,000
Luxury Tax: $132,627,000
MLE: $9,258,000
BAE: $3,623,000

Lets say we resign Clarkson for a bit above the MLE, say $10,000,000 ($123,463,313) that leaves $9,163,687 under the luxury tax with 11 players under contract. I assume we bring back Brantley and Morgan on the minimum. Each is $1,445,697. That leaves us a significant portion of the MLE remaining under the tax, and we can outbid all the teams using the taxpayer MLE.

1. Mike Conley $34,504,132
2. Rudy Gobert $26,525,281
3. Bojan Bogdanović $17,850,000
4. Joe Ingles $10,863,637
5. Jordan Clarkson $10,000,000
6. Royce O'Neale $8,035,714
7. MLE $6,272,293
8. Donovan Mitchell $5,195,501
9. Tony Bradley $3,542,060
10. Robert Woodard $1,977,000
11. Georges Niang $1,783,557 (ung)
12. Miye Oni $1,517,981 (ung)
13. Jarrell Brantley $1,445,697
14. Juwan Morgan $1,445,697
15. Grant Riller $898,310
Ed Davis $1,668,450*
Total: $132,627,000

Depth Chart
Rudy Gobert 34/Tony Bradley 14/Juwan Morgan
Bojan Bogdanovic 30/Goerges Niang 14/Jarrell Brantley 4
Royce O'neale 20/Joe Ingles 28
Donovan Mitchell 20/Jordan Clarkson 24/Royce O'neale 4
Mike Conley 28/Donovan Mitchell 14/Miye Oni 6/Grant Riller
So, one of those positions you improve with the MLE.

Something I recently learned is that when teams get "hard capped" by using the full MLE, they are hard capped at the apron which is $138.928 million. In other words, there's a little bit of room where you can be a taxpaying team but not quite hard capped.

This all depends on if Ryan Smith is ready to open up his wallet, of course. You pay tax this year, lose out on receiving tax money, and likely get into repeater tax for years to come.

But if money isn't an issue, the salary cap mechanics are there for us to sign Clarkson and use the full MLE.

I think #27 will be (and probably should be) Tyler Bey, Jaden McDaniels or Theo Maledon.
They might take Zeke Nnaji too, and I wouldn't fault them for it.
I don't want Robert Woodard and hope that's just a smokescreen.

At #38, some good picks would be: Reggie Perry, Paul Reed, Jordan Nwora, Peyton Pritchard and Elijah Hughes.
I'm not excited about Xavier Tillman, but have to admit he's probably in play there.

What does Xavier Tillman give us that Jarrell Brantley doesn't give us, aside from 1.5" in height and 0.5" in wingspan?

If that turns out to be the board at 27, then I'm not excited. NO to McDaniels, and otherwise ... meh. Tillman at 38 would be a steal. I actually would be fine with him at 27.

This would be fine. Not going to change the world, but has translatable skills the Jazz need; length, athleticism, capable D.

Bey & Tillman would be a solid draft, IMO. (I don't think Tillman will still be around at 38, though.)

Yup. My second choice, after Smith. Now that they moved back, no way they get Smith.

I don't see Nnaji as a first round pick at all. Wouldn't mind Bey or Maledon.
