What do you think of Cole Anthony and RJ Hampton as pros?

both should be at least solid pros/picks, both are lottery grade...

I think RJ Hampton could actually be a legit tradeup target for Utah, he'd be a good pair with Mitchell, I think he'd play with with Clarkson too, I'm sure some would think they'd be a bit redundant i dont though and they are players on completely different timelines.

Cole is very good at shooting off the dribble, he's pretty athletic too. Not a complete PG, but I think hadrcore college fans probably overreact to what happened at UNC.. I figure his skillset is going to impress teams in private workouts.
 
Bolmaro has been my target at #24, but if Aleksej Pokusevski is on the board that late, he might be a must-draft prospect. It's rare to see a legit 7-footer with this much fluidity, ball skills and feel for the game. He just turned 18 a few months ago. He has to be high on the Jazz's board.

I like this dude. Very interesting jump shot. Would like to see some defensive highlights to see how he moves laterally. Looks way more interesting than Bolmaro.

His physical profile and all-around game seem similar to Keith Van Horn as a Freshman/Sophomore at Utah (who would translate well to today's NBA as a perimeter big). It's hard to tell if he can guard on the perimeter at an NBA level though, since he hasn't really played against NBA athletes. A lot of his highlights are from when he was 17.

His feel for the game is pretty advanced for someone that young and that big, including his handle and passing off the dribble. His shooting has been a bit flakey, but it's projectable given that he's 78% at the line. It's just rare to see 7-footers run the floor that well, shake a defender and drill legit side-step 3s. It jumps off the screen.

He doesn't turn 19 until late December.

His FIBA junior stats are so bad tho, at least offensive efficiency. Wildly bad.

Going through more of his tape, some his shot selection is just really bad. He's throwing up jumpers in a rush without having his balance and barely looking at the rim. Not sure why that is. In Quin's system, he'd have a green light to shoot in certain situations and be able to get his rhythm. I don't know how much stock to put in tournament highlights when he was 17. It's a bit like drafting Rudy Gobert--you're going for upside.

Agreed...if Utah select him, we'll have to know that it would be a long-term deal: this guy has an unknow potential (It seams very high) and IMO he has to work a bit with his body.
He actually is 7 feet tall per 93Kg, not exactly well-balanced(but he obviously can improve it)...that's the reason why, I think, he sometimes is out of balance.
On the other hand he has a great ball control, not a bad thing in a 7" feet young player.
Tu sum up IMO he is the type of talented player still raw you must try to select.

Uhh, a lot of stock. If a player his size can't be efficient against guys in his own birth year or younger...

He also isn't a 7 footer...
