Following Potential 2020 draftees

Can someone please explain why Quickley is consistently mocked in the 2nd round? Especially in a draft where there's a bunch of guards/players in general in the same tier? I don't think I've seen a mock with him in the 1st. Is his lack of size for an off ball player that bad? Is his ability to create separation and passing/playmaking that bad?

He's certainly not big enough to be an off the ball player, not one that warrants a 1st rd selection. Whoever picks him will be grooming him at the point IMO, or have hopes he can pick that up.

As far as creating separation, thats not really his forte, he's much more of a guy ur just gonna run off of screens...


As far as his passing/playmaking, I think it's markedly better than he's been given credit for... honestly.. He's really made tremendous strides in his game in the past few years, so part of the reason why a team is gonna take him is to be betting on further snowballing those gains..


u better believe tho with this condensed offseason upcoming, that some priority is gonna be made by teams in utahs range to take players that can help them now, and specifically i beleive its gonna be in the form of PG's... already u see players like Malachi Flynn moving up the board... So Quickly could be in that vein.


6'8.25" wingspan measurement for him at the combine will help him some recover. he posted some sooolid #'s in those agility drills too.
 
has anyone in nba history been traded for more 1st rd picks than Jrue Holiday? pretty sure it took a few to get him outa philly IIRC


hes out there running laps around rubio and george hill in this competition

How do you feel about the Marvin Williams comparison? I've seen a few draft guides use Marvin as a comp for Woodard.

That's why Locke likes him so much. There's a pretty large pool of comps you can make for Woodard because his archetype is so sought after in the NBA. He doesnt have to do a lot of developing to make himself a useful NBA player.

There are a lot of underrated 2-guards in this draft:

Jalen Harris
Mason Jones
Skylar Mays
Tyshawn Alexander
Immanuel Quickley
Isaiah Joe
Cassius Stanley
Sam Merrill

Not sure who out of this group is going to make it long-term, but I like all of them in the 2nd round or even earlier (Jones/Harris especially)

I really like Jones too. I think he's going to go sneaky high tomorrow.
 
Isaiah Joe is underrated? compared to whom? preseason he was overrated... The latest on Joe is Philly has promised him... they hold #21 and #34... I'd imagine more at 34.. who knows tho. There's seemingly always a few "shocking" wings that surprise in the 1st
 
For what it's worth:

In their new podcast Jazz SL Trib beat writers Andy Larsen and Eric Waldon seemed to be thinking that highest likelihood was Jazz would draft Green, McDaniels, or Bane. Both were very down on McDaniels, but reported that there are plenty of people in the Jazz organization who love him.

I would take Green in that scenario. Bane does nothing to excite me.

McDaniels would give the Jazz something they don't have--a long wing who can score at 3 levels.
I'll be modestly surprised if Josh Green is available at #23.

His shoulders should excite everyone. He’s a guy I had to look at a little harder than others but it’s just hard seeing a situation where he fails.

might be the best shooter in the draft. Does it off of movement. Capable ballhandler and good passer. Solid and willing defender. Smart guy, hard worker, good kid... I’d be super excited to have him.

I wonder who the McDaniels fans are on staff. I bet DL is a Josh Green guy. I doubt the rooks are gonna get much playing time next year anyway. I bet if nothing else, the allure of upside with McDaniels would make him a more valuable trade asset at the deadline if an opportunity came up.

He has to have flashes and they have to control the narrative... like say he isn’t available in trades... kinda like MP Jr.
 
I'm watching Tyrell Terry. His shot release isn't as quick as Steph Curry's or Trae Young's. I'm not sure if his shooting will fully translate to NBA speed. He needs some space to get his shot off, and I'm not sure how he's going to get it. He's got some work to do to figure out how he's going to get separation.

did you see this game in the highlights? where Peyton Pritchard held him to 2/9 shooting in 34 mins 5 ast 4 to's compared to pritchards 29-6-5
 
Why did Cole Anthony choose UNC? Did he just really want to play for Williams? Did he know they were gonna suck and he thought he could lead them to a successful season singlehandedly? Wonder how his draft stock would look if he chose a better situation.
