So I lied, with 3 trades that all involved draft picks, I decided I better change my mock. I did forget one trade. The Wizards did send their 40th pick in the Poole trade to the Pelicans. So Caleb Love actually goes to the Pelicans, not the Wizards. He actually fills a need for them, since they didn't get what they were looking for from Jordan Hawkins in the 2022 draft.

This is one of my favorite drafts. Extremely deep, players that already have ideal heights and have worked out their bodies so that they are filled out and not so skinny. They can withstand the tough rigors of the NBA being a long season. I'm not sure if we will really see a bust in this draft until you get to the 2nd round!! (and those picks are supposed to be busts anyway.)

A lot of you have probably seen me respond to comments and that's mainly it. I haven't really made any big posts but I really like this draft and I'm excited for next year to see them all develop into the players a lot of our favorite teams so desperately need. You might have realized from my comments, that I seem to know what I'm talking about, and I try to be realistic yet still have some bright ideas. (Yes, some of my ideas aren't the best, but we all make mistakes and I quickly change my tune). That's because I'm very knowledgeable. I got a lot of my knowledge from being an avid fan of many NBA teams not just the Jazz. I watch how a lot of teams have built their teams and I try to learn from their mistakes. So when I think of trades, I try to think how to best build a certain team. I also pay attention to rumors, who teams are looking to bring in. This year, with the free agency class being so weak, I do believe we will get a lot more trades than normal so I plan to actually give you my ideas of what I think might happen and how that will change the landscape of the NBA. So it will be my first major post and I might receive a lot of flack for it, because my predictions could be way off or some trades don't bring back the best value but I hope you'll understand why I did it the way I did. I haven't posted it yet because I'm still perfecting my ideas, but I'm pretty close to being ready to post it. (I'll probably do so just after the draft finishes)
