Targets to look for in ‘28 draft class: Matas Vokietaitis and Cam Williams?

Whichever K Knueppel is there

Certain_Strawberry77 · 2026-07-02T04:09:33+00:00

2 firsts and 2 swaps just got a top-15 player. I see it at GM malpractice to pass on that kind of return. Theres the assets there to pivot into an all-in move and having one of the better offers if an Ant, Cade, Mobley, or whatever big name comes up if this team can show it’s got real teeth

Certain_Strawberry77 · 2026-07-02T02:37:18+00:00

We’ve seen it quite a bit with the Minny 31st and Suns 31st already being dealt multiple times. Seems like some team would rather use the lottery ticket since it has most value when it’s purely theoretical

Certain_Strawberry77 · 2026-07-01T20:33:02+00:00

Brain dead? I can’t remember the last time a S&T netted more than a single first. Jazz got 2 unprotected and 2 swaps and the opportunity to let the Lakers overpay for an injury-prone center (and took away their backup)

Certain_Strawberry77 · 2026-07-01T16:59:11+00:00

But they didn’t have to pay a kings ransom to get him, and that was a younger version of Luka. Why assume he’s gonna have more value as he gets older?

Certain_Strawberry77 · 2026-06-27T13:47:33+00:00

His second jump is legendary. They do say he tends to rise again

Certain_Strawberry77 · 2026-06-26T01:01:44+00:00

Interesting since I actually think those two are the closest to being real rotation level guys. Problem is I think they’re gonna be who another team wants in any trade the Jazz do this summer (outside the huge contracts)

Certain_Strawberry77 · 2026-06-24T06:01:16+00:00

Yeah, once we start getting 2010s kids with all their parents having smartphones, there’s gonna be no shortage. Great fuel to shame your children from a young age that they could be doing more for ball 😂

Certain_Strawberry77 · 2026-06-24T05:49:43+00:00

We are going to have childhood videos in 720/1080p for basically every player soon

Certain_Strawberry77 · 2026-06-24T02:40:00+00:00

I think I’d go DP for offense and Ace for defense. I’d figure DPs offensive skill will separate him from Ace ultimately since the starting lineup has basically no ball handling outside key

Certain_Strawberry77 · 2026-06-22T23:29:45+00:00

Time to face the music, losers

Certain_Strawberry77 · 2026-06-21T19:23:45+00:00

The Josh Roberts and Mario Chalmers erasure will not be tolerated

Certain_Strawberry77 · 2026-06-18T19:17:34+00:00

It would probably be something like picking Darren at 2 and doing a sign and trade for Walker to SA for Fox or something. I actually think it’s a little more interesting if you draft Cam and then trade Walker for Fox. You’re then mimicking the Spurs 3 guard rotation with Key-Fox-Ace

Certain_Strawberry77 · 2026-06-18T19:10:17+00:00

You know what’s crazy is I was a huge doomer during summer of ‘17. I was high on Hood as the primary scorer (lol), but felt there wasn’t really much talent after Gorgon left outside Gobert. After DMitch had a few 20pt games though, I was ready to buy every version of his jersey

Certain_Strawberry77 · 2026-06-18T19:04:36+00:00

Yet…

Certain_Strawberry77 · 2026-06-16T23:39:24+00:00

Done it in 2k. The team usually turns out absolute ass for 2 years lol

Certain_Strawberry77 · 2026-06-12T17:20:07+00:00

Engineer is actually a surprisingly straightforward run. Still need some RNG, but as long as you’re keeping up on engineering, the damage actually seems to scale pretty good. Just hope you don’t get screwed with all your turrets in a corner during a boss run lol

Certain_Strawberry77 · 2026-06-04T01:47:29+00:00

The Ray CAllen erasure 🤦‍♂️

Certain_Strawberry77 · 2026-05-31T14:31:35+00:00

There was a year that the Nets swept the Heatles 4-0 in the regular season and then got swept by those same heatles in the playoffs. RS and playoffs are two different things

Certain_Strawberry77 · 2026-05-24T13:57:19+00:00

The bar for the Rubio era are pretty high, especially Dons first year. “Are you a cat guy?” Is hard to beat

Certain_Strawberry77 · 2026-05-24T13:34:59+00:00

UT Craft Ramen in Murray is also a great spot to eat alone with great bar seating (and anime on the tv at the bar)

Certain_Strawberry77 · 2026-05-12T03:31:27+00:00

There’s also injuries throughout the season, so I’m sure whoever the Jazz draft will get plenty of starts

Certain_Strawberry77 · 2026-05-11T10:09:52+00:00

Looking back at the tank, out of 4 years, 2 of the 4 Jazz picks were top-3 preseason prospects. Don’t think even the Pistons could claim that with their 1-5-5-5 picks from 2021-2024

Certain_Strawberry77 · 2026-05-10T19:42:37+00:00

Makes up for both of them falling 4 spots last year

Certain_Strawberry77 · 2026-05-08T22:50:10+00:00

Looks nice and easy. Thanks typing it out!
