My old favorite Alexander Vezenkov is blowing up in Spain this year.

If we want a lights out shooter in the second Vezenkov might finally declare for the draft:

I've loved Vezenkov for a while now. He's just so fun to watch when he's on fire. He's like a PF version of Klay Thompson - unconscious shooting, with or without preparation, with the feet set or not, from weird positions... he just shoots it... and it goes in. He is legit shooter at the 4 and is playing great for Barcelona lately. He's averaging 8.5pts/3.3rbs/1ast in 19 minutes a game... He's shooting crazy 58/47/80 and insane 72% TS% this year. His shot is pure with very quick release. He is very smart and skilled player, but he's going to be somewhat of a liability on D. Still worth taking a shot in the second IMO.

He is automatically entered into the draft this year, right?

No, he's 21 right now and will be 22 in August. Players need to be 23 to be automatically eligible for the draft. He still needs to declare.

I'm not sure if the 23 or older rule is for at the time of the draft or for players turning 23 in the year of the draft. If I had to guess it would be the latter, so he probably will be automatically entered into the draft in 2018 if he doesn't declare this year.

edit: seems like he's automatically eligible after all. The rule is 22 or older not 23 or older.

U are mistaken, he's auto-eligible. The rule; "Is or will be 22 during the calendar year of the draft". (aka born in '95)

I'm reading this one:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBA_draft

International players who are at least 23 years old are automatically eligible for selection, while the players younger than 22 have to declare their eligibility.

Where can we find the original text for this one?

edit: https://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q76
An international player is eligible for the NBA draft that is held in the same calendar year as his 22nd birthday. An international player who is at least 19 but younger than 22 also can become draft eligible by declaring himself an early entry player. An international player who is older than 22 or was not selected in the draft in the same calendar year as his 22nd birthday is considered a rookie free agent.

I guess the wiki page has a mistake. So you are right. He will be automatically eligible.
 
Jacob Evans is really good and Cincinnati might be really dangerous... On ESPN right now in cruise control. Freak athlete, good passer, defensive potential, 40% 3pt shooter -- what more do you need to know??


Better prospect than KJ McDaniels (who got moved for peanuts today) Fo Sho
 
Chad Ford did a mock draft recently that showed the Jazz getting Hartenstein. I'd be all for that. I haven't seen that much of him, but what I have seen looks better to me than Dragan Bender did. Tougher, equal or better athlete, more versatile inside-outside player. Plays with a bit of an edge.
 
Andrew Jones is #26 on Chadfords latest bigboard. I like that call, the Jazz should SERIOUSLY consider him now that I think about it.

there are a lot of scouts who feel like Jones is a major sleeper.

He's an elite athlete, plays above the rim and has shown the ability to knock down the 3. He's really come along in Big 12 play. The Nets need to continue to swing for the fences with these late draft picks and hope they strike gold. Jones is a good bet down this low.

Thatd be extraordinary value for sure. He and Andrew Jones who I just posted; two real high-potential young projects to add to the mix.

Fill in with some 2nd rounders like Cameron Oliver, Allonzo Trier, VJ Beachem and Viny Okuou.. that's an A+ draft for Utah in my book.

Certainly the Jazz will still be keeping an eye out for the next big man for Utah. Favors looks like his days are numbered and Lyles isn't progressing at quite the rate DL probably hoped for. It's kind of a thin draft for bigs, but some good ones are currently projected in the latter half of the 1st round.
 
Oregon St. commit 6'5" sg Ethan Thompson and Bishop Montgomery take down Marvin Bagley and Sierra Canyon in the Cali state tournament.

Thompson looked good.. here's some raw highlights.
