Following Potential 2022 Draftees

Lofton does have some Boris Diaw to his game for sure, he's more of a bruiser tho, his game is much more based in the paint.. and the 275lb listing is probably low he's built like an NFL lineman
 
6'11 Freshman from France Daniel Batcho coming off the bench for Texas Tech looks like he could become relevant here, definitely worth keeping an eye on.. Pretty sure he's grown an inch or 2 since he was at Arizona...

HE is a player who had a torn ACL a few years ago, and then there was injury involved with him not getting minutes at zone, n seems to be really riding lots of momentum since then. Seems capable on both ends, n has a good frame.

kind of a mired in injuries "buy low" guy... seems like a solid bounceback candidate.. he's gotta be a pro in some form..


He just made a great recovery block from across the lane to snatch a josiah jordan-james dunk away.... looks like he gets off the ground quickly for a player that height

I'm not sure the Jazz even have a pick this year. At least they're not in the first round. A couple of guys I liked last year passed on the draft, but they'll be out of reach now--Benedict Mathurin and Roko Prkacin.

Okay, it looks like the Jazz get a mid-late 2RP from Memphis. Whoopeee.
 
Kennedy Chandler has such a nasty stutter step, it'll be his saving grace if hes successful in the league at one of the reasons he was the top ranked PG in this class, and if u bite on it he's just going to immediately leave the defender in his wake and charge thru the lane and do an acrobatic layup or kick it out for a wide open shot.

Other than that spectacular move its been a poor showing for him so far. This is a tournament quality game.

They can trade up and into this draft... Mathurin seems destined for the top20, and just everything about Arizona right now is sorta too hot to touch, they are way better than ppl thought n still improving rapidly.

Prackin might be very gettable, there is a massive list of these sort of comboy forwards this year..
 
Zach Edey is up to #43 on the espn top100 list!!! What a cool story!!! I've been beating this drum and simply there is no competition out there who can slow him down. Lemme be the first to say that Udoka Azubuike is way worse than this kid and the Canadian giant is destined for the first round

Like i've said before, this player puts Boban to shame.. He's way better... Puts Tacko Fall to shame too.. Those r 3rd string players..

and when he first showed up to Purdue, UTah had Isaac Haas, Purdue had Matt Haarms before that, I correctly predicted that Edey would be way better, and its not even close.. Not even fair to those other players to compare them to Edey, who is a real deal 1st rd possibility..
 
I cannot strss this enough... There are SO MANY QUALITY 6'8-6'9" "forward" types in the field right now.. It's totally within reason Utah could pick a real good one even in the mid 2nd..

n Prackin is right in the thick of that if ur a fan of him
 
See I was right about Marcus Bagley too btw, or its looking like i was right on the money, but ESPN has him down to #60.. The idea that he deserved to be in the first rd --- ur giving him too much benefit of the doubt whiuch isnt being given to others...


So Bagley played 2.5 games this season, who knows when he returns, their 3-6... it's already looking like a salvage or disaster typoe season..
 
Arizona state is legitimately one of the top 2 or 3 most dissapointing teams in the nation 2 years in a row.... tell me why im wrong... cuz if u think so its prolly only cuz ur not all that familiar with the faces involved...


Now Oregon is so bad this year everyone else on the westcoast is gonna get a lil pass.. but still ASU is putrid.. bleeeeehhh
 
this 6'10 player from Hungary ---- Zsombor Maroneka.. has fun highlights he moves well for someone that size, he actually looks like a wing player.
 
good to see Tom Digbeu still right on the fringe according to ESPN/DX.. He had a knee injury or he could be way higher.. 6'5 French guard who's got an excellent frame for the NBA he can add tons of strength in the coming years..

 
I really was never all that convinced Theo Maledon was a better prospect than Digbeu.. Its kinda rediculous for Jazzfans to downplay this draft cuz of the lack of picks with players like this projected where they are...
 
when/if utah wins the championship, almost certainly it'll be with a roster comprised of players not currently in the NBA... Thats sound logic... Sorry if u disagree.


thats why i think its crazy to downplay this or any draft.. Downplaying the draft hasnt served utah well this decade or last decade, when they move with deep conviction they've made their best picks but those years are few and far between....


the math and the $$$ and the roster spots have changed... and I'd also offer up more imporant than any of those is -- the quality of the field has changed (for the better)
 
n i mean Michael Foster is projected 37th... Ur not gonna tell me this draft is irrelevant to Utah when 18 year old players, who are performing decently in the gleague, like that arent even projected in the first...
 
Micahel Foster would be such a ****in great potential homerun pick for Utah imo.. U cant convince me otherwise.. If he pans out he'd take this team to another level..



It would be a great landing spot for Foster IMO because Rudy's here.
 
It;s actually SUCH an obvious pick tbh... I really think that best case scenario with Utah drafting Michael Foster is he turns to the starting PF and ends up having a really big impact sorta like Julius Randle has had with the Knicks...
 
those r the types of players utah needs to go after... players who can potentially impact everything positively... this idea of plugging specialists like conley and Bogdanovic around cornerstone peices is outdated n can only take you so far (the 2nd rd) ---- These other teams out west, The Warriors mainly, have surpassed that type of thinking and pulled it off, so Utah cant possibly sit around n try to match them..

Otto Porter Jr makes 2 mil

while Utah pays Bojan 19...


how can u compete? **** doesnt add up, not even close..
 
see the most essential thing about the draft is overlooked these days... idiots compare the drafts to each other... which is completely irrelevant...
 
what is of the utmost relevance, and is never mentioned yet is obvious upon closer inspection, is the drafts are gaining steam on the overall talent pool in the NBA... every year...


very real btw.. only a complete moron who hasnt really smelled the roses or had much of a look around would argue otherwise, and it'd be a really weak unfounded argument that'd get smashed on like a yearly basis..
