It’s funny because @BensHoops literally reported this earlier this week and his intel seems pretty spot on.

[Art Cummings @ArtTakesNote]

One theory of mine is the Wizards actually have Darryn Peterson #1 on their draft board.

They put out they are taking AJ Dybantsa #1 to see if they could squeeze the Jazz for extra assets.

Sometimes the simplest answer could be the correct one.

@McKennaRJames @DraftDeeper I mostly want the Jazz to draft Cam because it would be hilarious to watch the anti-Boozer crowd wring their hands and then eventually be forced to talk themselves into rooting for him.

@LeanerGreen @DraftDeeper Because he’s only the fifth freshmen ever to win the Naismith award.

KD
AD
Zion
Cooper
Cam

[Malcolm Lemaire @MalcolmLem_]

I can tell this is an analytics based board. Cam #1. Allen Graves way higher than consensus. 👌

@SleeperJazz LG is legit

[Malcolm Lemaire @MalcolmLem_]

@Ohngod1 @hansenjames He had the 9th best defensive rating in all of college basketball last year.

[Malcolm Lemaire @MalcolmLem_]

@campaignist1 @hansenjames Yes, but none of the rookies are going to start, probably at all this year. The only one I could see starting is DP, but he'd have to beat out Lauri or Ace. Depth is a good thing.

[Malcolm Lemaire @MalcolmLem_]

@hansenjames I may disagree with some of your Jazz takes, but your taste in movie/tv is absolutely FLAWLESS.

@CHoltSports @BensHoops @kslsports (2) For each of the top 3 guys: if you had to choose 1 "superpower" and 1 attribute that would turn them into a bust, what would it be?

[Malcolm Lemaire @MalcolmLem_]

@CHoltSports @BensHoops @kslsports (1) Why is Cam's defense consistently underrated? Is it purely an athleticism thing? For context, he had the 9th best def rating in all of college basketball last year. Duke was a good defensive team, but they were BETTER defensively when he was on the court.

[Malcolm Lemaire @MalcolmLem_]

@Ohngod1 @hansenjames Cam’s playmaking, screening, IQ and shooting make everyone else better. His defense is extremely underrated. He sees the court better than anyone else in this draft class.

I just don’t know if I’ll ever understand this sentiment.

[Malcolm Lemaire @MalcolmLem_]

@imr__01 I am an idiot so please take this with a grain of salt the size of the ocean, but I do feel like he has the highest bust potential at the top of the draft.

[Malcolm Lemaire @MalcolmLem_]

@hansenjames There’s a genuine argument to make for all 3 and how they fit on your roster, including cam.

IMO Cam actually has the best fit argument bc of how well he would fit with the rest of the core. It may take some short term logistical moves, but each of these guys would require that

[Malcolm Lemaire @MalcolmLem_]

@hansenjames The fit argument against Cam is a difficult one for me to understand.

AJ fits bc he likely becomes your best scorer, freeing everyone else up more offensively.
DP fits bc he plays a position of need right now.
Cam fits bc he makes everyone else on the entire roster better.

[Malcolm Lemaire @MalcolmLem_]

For Jazz fans that think Cam is a minus defender…

[Pod Thorn @PodThorn]

This is a very good Chart Nets fans, Look at it and think.

[Malcolm Lemaire @MalcolmLem_]

@BensHoops The full 360 some Jazz fans are doing in real time regarding Walker is beyond hilarious.

[Malcolm Lemaire @MalcolmLem_]

Europeans discovering America and Americans showing why we're proud to be American has been the most delightful thing and the closest to world peace I've ever seen

[Malcolm Lemaire @MalcolmLem_]

@hansenjames I don't understand why some Jazz fans get so sensitive about Cam. You don't see this the other way, where people who like Cam say things like "If the Jazz draft Darryn, I'll never watch another game".

[Malcolm Lemaire @MalcolmLem_]

@iwasmmueller88 I feel like you ought to watch more than one game to come away with a decent opinion…
