Following Potential 2018 Draftees

[Chargers Jazz Angels]

Jarred Vanderbilt.

I want to love Vanderbilt i really do but his lack of shooting scares me. I tell myself Ben Simmons has succeeded with out being able to shoot but Vanderbilt is not the scorer that Ben is.

Then I think of the developmental staff and they could do wonders with him. He is already a very good rebounder.

I am really starting to sour on Anfernee Simons.

If it turns out he can shoot he's gonna be a major steal and make a ton of $$$. He could go way highed than mocked on potential alone. He remains one ofmy personal favorite players in the field. I think eventually he'll be a decent 3pt shooter but never on high volume, thats not his game.

Cuz he wont play at the combine? He could have a promise he likes already, u never know

If DiVincenzo stays in the draft, he might rise up the draft boards and get drafted like Nik Stauskas did. And if the Jazz really do like him, they'd better trade up again like they did with Donovan. Btw did Diallo really killed his draft stock that much to be projected in the late 2nd rd? Wow, was it a mistake for him to pull out from the draft last year?

I don’t think Donte goes top 15. I’d be somewhat shocked if he wasn’t available when we pick. I love him like a son but if he goes before us it pushes other guys down to us. I think we could easily trade up to 15 if we wanted but I don’t know that I’d go that route... I would love to get another pick in the 22-37 range though... lots of guys I like.

How good is his defense?

Seems solid. Doesnt have tools to be lock down, but athletic enough and tough enough not to be a liability guarding 1s and 2s imo. Doesn't have the length to switch out and guard 3s.

Honestly the only full game I watched was the national title... the rest was just Youtube analysis. He made two awesome defensive plays... I think hes a good functional athlete... not just one that measures well.

I think he may end up being more of a PG if he's going to hit his ceiling. I think he's a playmaker... i just have an irrational love for him. I am not sure if it is true but I heard he is actually the lovechild of Adam Keefe and Jeff Hornacek.

Just watched his nation championship game highlights, those were some nice defensive plays, and looked good overall athletic wise, so thought I’d ask. He is definitely someone I will keep an eye on.

Sour? Why now? This combine was a huge win for him.

You dont trade up to get the slightly better version of Pat Connaughton

I think he likely has a high floor as a player... like I think he is at worst a slightly better Pat Connaughton (sp?)... but could be more.

I officially have fallen in love with 37 players in our range, so I highly doubt I will be disappointed with whoever we end up with.

Whoa... I swear I didn't see your response before giving my comp.

With 37, I would guess not. Lol

Jarred Vanderbilt.

I think he's probably going to go back to school. He's played so little and been unhealthy. Maybe he goes mid-2nd round. I'd consider Troy Brown a playmaker.

We have a way of finding the 1 though... wanted anyone but Lyles... was not happy about the Tony Bradley pick, but that late in the draft I wasn't destroyed about it.

I mean, it's what everyone has been saying since Connaughton was the last small white guy who could jump really high.

If I knew Donte could guard NBA starting PG's well I would be more bullish on him.

How is Simmons eligible for this years draft? Shows he is in high school and from FL. What am I missing?

And this is the thing that would kind of make me mad about drafting Donte: Why in the hell didnt we draft Josh Hart when he had the chance. Josh Hart is undoubtedly better than Donte IMO, and he was there.
