Not sure 24 and 30 could quite get the Jazz to 13, but maybe one to watch
Sources say one team that to keep an eye on is Denver. The Nuggets have a history of making draft-night trades. Could potentially move down.

A thing I just realized that also has probably already been noted: Walker Kessler was drafted 22nd overall by the Memphis Grizzlies and then traded to the Wolves. The Grizzlies took him with the Mike Conley pick from the Jazz lol

Little thing you can't see too well, but good stuff. Two-way guys Georges Niang and Erik McCree were sitting on the floor. Niang went to check in, leaving McCree alone. When Joe Ingles checked out, he originally sat on the bench but saw McCree and went to sit by him

The Jazz are definitely making Collin Sexton the face of the franchise this season. Smart. He's a lot of fun. Hopefully he doesn't get sick of it. He's already done quite a bit

Half of the Jazz's roster is 6'5 or shorter
We are 25 picks into the NBA draft and no player has been shorter than 6'4
19 of the 25 picks have been 6'6 or taller
If you think the league is going small you have missed the memo. The league is going skilled but there is no such thing as small ball.
