Following Potential 2018 Draftees

I agree. The real separation for me is mental toughness. Allen seems to get frustrated. Donte stepped up and seemed to enjoy taking big shots. This is why I would take Donte over Allen.

And he was cool AF while doing it... watch after he makes that huge two handed block... doesn't stop to yell, talk ****, he closes to the corner and tries to pressure the ball. He just looks like he has an attitude of "this is what I do". He's an intense competitor but not in the Joakim Noah screaming after every play. The mental image of Grayson freaking out on the sideline after tripping another kid just rubs me the wrong way.

If you guys could have anybody in this draft (regardless of draft projection), who would it be and why?

MPJ, Doncic or Jaren Jackson. If I was going on pure potential I would go MPJ. I would be ecstatic with either Doncic or Jackson Jr too though. Either would be good fits and are safe prospects.

Mo Bamba has a chance to be an immensely valuable trade chip, who's value appreciates yearly.. He can handle some 4 next to Rudy, mo can run and move laterally with the leagues pf's.

3.04seconds 3/4 court sprint !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Utah cant finagle the sort of trade needed to pull this off so its moot.

Yes, but you don't really draft for immediate need unless there is a pre-packaged ready made option. Draft for long-term need but take BPA that fits well. Use FA and trades to address immediate needs. Rookies generally don't play or help much.

When I watch his videos, I think “this is very Donovanesque.”

When watching Allen’s video you referenced, at around 1:25 below...



I’m not liking it. As JFC’s resident sports psychiatrist, I’d say this doesn’t bode well. Go with DD and you won’t go wrong.

I'm not sure he is more athletic. Donte has some plays where his functional athleticism really shows. I think the difference there is negligible. Playmaker is fine but I think Donte can grow there. I would have loved to see how each guy performed in the other's role. I think Donte is a better defender and has mental attributes I really like. It may have been luck but he had two great games in the tournament including the nuclear final game. Taking over for the leader of the team and just winning the game by himself. That doesn't happen to just anyone and was more than a couple shots like Burke hit. He friggin dominated that game on both ends. May be one shining moment or a sign of things to come.

Allen has functional athletic ability as well. He’s very good at attacking the rim, hanging and finishing. With DD I think you’re referring to those two blocks, am I right?

The rebounding and he has some nice finishes off of tip dunks and stuff. Allen puts guys on posters. Donte didn't block many shots, but those two definitely stand out as examples.

I just think he's really coordinated... someone said he's a natural. I think they are comparable, but the mental stuff means a lot in my book. I'd rather roll with Donte and it isn't close.

Who's minutes would Doncic absorb on this team anyways Ingles? Thats a drop off defensively and 3pt% Or would he just be the backup PG, SG, SF and PF?

You can play multiple ball handlers and wings... Bamba would be a backup... can't play two true centers.

Do u not understand that Mo can sprint down the court as fast as John Wall and Westbrook? That numbers more than half a second faster than Rudy..... Mo's an elite athlete and game can fit next to rudy, I bet Rudy would RAVE about him too.. He's got shooting touch and 3 pt range and it takes him like a step to go from mid range to crashing the boards.

Lets not forget that ppl broke my balls here for 2 years for suggesting Utah go after Porzingis to pair with Rudy.........
