- The Locked On Jazz bracket of 8 for the 10th pick is underway and the heated battle between wing players Cody Williams and Ron Holland left David Locke with a resounding yes answer to either of the two players.
David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider, took a deeper look at both Cody Williams and Ron Holland after their matchup and while he prefers Williams to Holland if the Jazz got either at #10 then it would be no different than any other draft.

David Locke: âI refuse to draft ANYONE smaller than 6ft4in (including guards)âŠ. I refuse to draft anyone smaller than 6ft4inâŠ. I refuse to draft anyone smaller than 6ft4inâŠ.â
Also David Locke: âThe only player on whom Iâd be willing to spend assets to move up and draft this year is the 6ft1.5in SG Reed Sheppard.â
Gotta love David Lockeâs unflinching, steadfast consistency. Now THIS guy is principled!
Headline from last night: Luka Doncicâs terrible defense is an anchor weighing down Mavs in NBA Finals
Luka needs to get so, so much better defensively.
Fantasy basketball expert Josh Lloyd's mock draft and tier list, he has Ron Holland at #2 right below Alex Sarr and is in the same tier at Tier 1. I trust Josh Lloyd's judgement when it comes to player scouting. There is a reason why Holland was the #1 prospect last year but bombed his draft position because of his low % Ignite numbers. He is far better than Cody Williams.
I really like seeing how Cody Williams and Ron Holland are both sliding a little bit so one of them or both could be available since Tajan Salaun, Donovan Clingan are climbing. I like Topic as well but am more excited about Williams and Ron Holland and either one would be great.
As someone who's lived in Arizona my whole life, it'd be cool if the jazz landed Cody Williams, who went to Perry high school which some of my friends went to
How in the HELL is a TOP 4 PROTECTED PICK our best pick???
If the Lakers are bad enough for the pick to become valuable, they can easily become bad enough to keep the #4 protected pick. If they're bad, they will be in need of talent and they are going to need that pick and should easily be able to tank enough to keep it.
Now, as potentially _most_ valuable, as in 5-12 range for it? Maybe. Somewhat valuable.
But then we also have to assess the chance of a dramatic Cleveland/Minnesota drop off, positively affecting one of our unprotected picks. Such things do happen, and can be hard to predict. After seeing the paths of the last "super teams" (Clips, Nets, Suns, Sixers, etc), I wouldn't be surprised if one of those paid off.
Neither one is projected top 4 anymore.
@@schutzaustin Of course not. But still, our only chances to get better than #5. Except for the unpalatable option of roster depletion and striving for a 20-win season. Which worked so great for Detroit.
I would take Salaun over both if available. He's big and can shoot, go downhill you name it
Missing layups reminds me of Exum; puppy paws while getting to the rim. Thatâs the problem with younger players, they havenât matured physically. I swear Tatum grew a couple inches between his first and second years.
Ron Holland easily. Cody Williams plays like a perpetual role player. His ceiling is low. He's NOT like his brother if you know anything like them. You'll get the Seth Curry of the two.
Williams 0:28
Is making layups important? Ricky Green was an All-Star! John Stockton was a Rookie! But he successfully replaced Green in the Playoffs because he could make a layup!
Thanks Ryan the jazz will be perpetually at the bottom of the league nothing more than a feeder team for good organizations not one person u mentioned is a difference maker on a mediocre team keep pushing the company line Dave
