The champion guard is well-deserved, the Jazz 18th pick continues to be highly energy, the King of New York is its new template

After this year's draft, in addition to the Mavericks' undoubtedly selected No. 1 pick Flag, two teams in the league have rated it as excellent in their draft work by experts. The first team was the San Antonio Spurs. The team won Dylan Harper with the second pick, and then won Carter Bryant with the 14th pick in the first round. The Jazz, the second team, was questioned at the time, and now it seems that their draft work is even better than the Spurs.

The team chose Ace Bailey, who was in the same team as Dylan Harper in the fifth pick. On the mock list at the beginning of the draft, the name that appeared at the second pick was more Bailey, so it was indeed lucky that the Jazz could choose Bailey in the fifth pick. But this is not the main reason why the Jazz draft has received good reviews. Their choice in the 18th position is commendable.

This year, the Jazz sent away two scorers, Clarkson and Sexton, one after another, and the team's 16-pin guard Kiyant George, who chose the first round of 23, averaged 16.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game last season, but his shooting percentage was only 39% throughout the season, which was relatively inefficient. Under such circumstances, it is very necessary to add another backcourt player to the Jazz's lineup.

But the Jazz's operations showed their draft vision very well. The Jazz are holding a 21-pinning pick. Among the popular rookies who have not been selected at the time, Yaku, the popular rookie who was originally predicted to be the top ten. And when the Jazz chose to trade upward to get the 18th pick, people thought they wanted to take Yaku before the Heat.

However, in the end, the Jazz chose to sign with the 18th pick and win the senior player of the University of Florida Walter Clayton Jr., the MOP of the NCAA Final Four last season and the championship player of the college league, is undoubtedly a very mature defender. However, how much his instant combat ability can be converted to the NBA are the key reasons for people's hesitation.

Last season, Clayton played 39 games for the team, averaging 18.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game, shooting percentage of 44.8%, and 38.6% of three-point shooting percentage. 713 points in a single season also set a record for the team's team history in a single season. Judging from the summer league that the Jazz have played, Clayton is undoubtedly the best player on the offensive end.

In the first two games of the Summer League, Clayton tried a small game, averaging 6.5 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists per game. With each match in the Summer League, Clayton is one of the few point guards who can see clearly organized on the court. In his third summer league game, Clayton ushered in an explosion and got a 20-point and 4-assisted report card. In the latest game, Clayton scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. He and inside player Bofi have become the leader of the Jazz's summer league.

Judging from Clayton's performance in 4 games, his ending methods are very rich on the offensive end. Whether it is a breakthrough with the ball, an emergency stop after retreating from the outside, or a pass after a pick-and-roll, it can improve the team's firepower well on the team's offensive end. At the same time, his game feels not like the template Trey Jones given by people before, but more like Jaylen Brunson, the absolute core of the New York Knicks.

Brunson also joined the Mavericks as champion after playing in the NCAA League for four seasons. However, Brunson was selected as a senior rookie and 1.88 meters tall until the third pick in the second round. Even though he averaged 21.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists per game in the playoffs, the Mavericks still don't believe how high the upper limit he will be in the future, and they were immediately picked up by the Knicks. Now, Brunson has scored about 30 points per game in two consecutive playoffs.

The offensive ability Clayton has shown is already very excellent, and in the Jazz in the new season, Clayton will get very good playing time. As for the height he can reach in the end, it depends on his own development and efforts! Do you think Clayton can eventually become an All-Star backcourt like Jaylen Brunson?
