What's new

Following Potential 2018 Draftees

Still on the khyri thomas bandwagon. For some reason I'm not liking Zhaire Smith much. Rui, just can't quite get there with him, but looked pretty special last night. I'd take SGA in a heartbeat, though i don't like that he shoots a set shot from three- does so many other things at a high level for a young player.
 
I’ll withhold total judgment for now but even as a Sparty fan, Miles Bridges doesn’t do much for me. Think he’s sort of at his ceiling now and don’t like his dribble drive game, or lack thereof.

I think he's a safe bet to be a good role player.
 
I'm a bit down on Tillie as an NBA athlete. He's a good floor runner and has good touch around the rim, but just isn't a great vertical athlete and isn't very broad or strong enough to really bang inside right now. I think his ceiling is limited. But then, I was a bit down on TJ Leaf from UCLA last year for some of the same reasons.

I've always thought Hachimura is a bit soft, but I'll check him out.

Tillie is a lot longer then Leaf. I also think tillie is a better shooter. Tillie went 12 for 15 (or soemthing like that) from 3 in WCC tournament
 
I still really like Zhaire Smith if he declares. He had 18 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists yesterday against Florida. He has high level athleticism, he can slash and cut off ball, he defends, he passes, he rebounds, seems to have a pretty good bb iq. He has a really good foundation to build on.

I could like a draft of Smith but the way he is playing he is probably pushing himself into the teens

Looks like the Jazz will be picking in the 21 -25 range this year. I think the Jazz will be looking to add skilled size, someone with length to potentially replace Derrick Favors as a two-way big.
