Honestly, if the Jazz get teh 2nd overall pick and Doncic goes 1, I'd probably want Young over any of the bigs.
Following Potential 2018 Draftees
- Thread starter Dr. Jones
- Start date
Trae Young is easily the most watchable college player in recent memory, possibly ever.

26 pts, 21 assists in about 30 minutes tonight.
Should be 23 assist actually.
He had an alley-oop off the backboard they called a missed shot, but was clearly a pass and he got an assist off an inbound play they didnt count.

One more where he hit a guy right under the hoop but dude took one dribble and scored
Josh Okogie on ESPN2, his 2nd game back from injury/suspension.

IIRC, there was only one FG in the 1st half he didn't score or assist while in the game.

Gave him 22 assists. Ties the NCAA record. So 26 and 22 in 29 min.
Three other players have dished 22 in a game and they happened in '87, '88 and '89. So nearly 30 years since its been done. I'd also be curious how many minutes those dudes played in those games.

Prolly where he should go... I just think a GM with Ayton Bamba Porter on the board would have a hard time doing it.

I am good with young going top 10. It will push down some one like either of the bridges

FWIW, I'd be surprised if Bamba goes top 5. Even if Trae Young isn't in play that high, Sexton and Jaren Jackson are just as likely to go as Bamba in the 5 - 8 range, imo.
Bamba has looked bad. He is a huge project. I think GM's would be way more scared to take him top 5 than Trae Young top 5.

I would agree but I think the success of Rudy has increased Bamba's value
Just cuz he has long arms doesnt mean he is Rudy Gobert. He might just be Alex Ajinca or Hasheem Thabeet.

Bamba hasnt really shown me enough to give me confidence he can approach Rudy. It's a lot of projection if you are taking him in the top 10. I would probably have him in the 11-14 range personally, at this point.
Rudy has a work ethic and competitive desire that's rare. I haven't seen that in Bamba.
Geez...
Trae also makes that guy #35 Brady Manik look like a decent player.

I don't think you know what "bad" means.
