Another thing that really stuck out to me about Locke's analysis on JHS is that he only had 5 dunks all season. I'm just not drafting a player who sucks at 3pt shooting, sucks in transition, and can barely dunk at 6'6.

the question with moore is whether or not he can shoot from distance. shot it really well as a junior on a minimum number of attempts, and then dropped again when his attempts tripled as a senior. this after not being a threat at all from deep his first two seasons.
His FT shooting went up. It's definitely trending in the right direction and the % fall is due to him being the only scorer on his team having to do everything.
San Jose State was a pretty decent team, which is a huge boost to Moore's draft case because the team was not loaded with talent. Only two players on the entire team averaged over 1 assist per game and only two players averaged over 10 ppg.
Terrible at the rim and doesn’t get to the line either. Makes it almost impossible for him to be efficient even if he develops a three ball. Bufkin is a much better prospect.
Jacquez would be my pick.

Black is definitely one of those prospects I feel like I could be very wrong on 5 years from now. Excited to see how explosive he is at the NBA level, something that I think he has but wasnt really able to show in college.

@Tony Jones keeps mentioning JHS… I’m hoping it’s just his analysis and not some insight. I’m out on JHS… no thanks.

Kind of seems like some guys currently in the 15-30+ range could actually be more exciting/higher upside than some of those in the 9-15 range. Wonder if the draft ends up shaking out much different than we think, especially after the top 10 or so.
When we come back to this draft in five years time, it's a guarantee that at every spot we picked, a good player was available. I really hope Danny is in his bag this Summer and nails the picks.

Someone else with connections near the team said the Jazz like JHS. They think he can be something like SGA--a big, two-way, three-level point guard. He doesn't have elite burst and doesn't put much pressure on the rim right now, but he's good at changing speeds and he has pretty advanced feel. If Tony Jones keeps bringing him up, I think there's something to it. He might be available at #16.
My question is, what happens when they bring in Bilal for a workout and he blows the doors off. Also, I think they should take a hard look at Kobe Bufkin.
I just dont see what there to get excited about. At 28 sure, but at 9 no way. At 16 I'm still taking a lot of guys over him. I guess the appeal is that he has a great combo of size and PNR ability. I think he probably will be at least a decent spot-up shooter. But I really dont see how he is any better than Air Podz and Podz, despite being a Sophomore, is only 4 months older than JHS.
I dont think there is much to it. Tony is like us, he's a fan of draft coverage and projecting players. If Tony is bringing him up it's because Tony likes him and he knows Utah is looking hard at playmakers.
He can be Shai if Shai was awful a the rim and never got to the FT line (his best attribute).
I've heard that Shai - JHS comparison multiple times now. It's classic bait. JHS was a good mid range player and Shai is a very good mid range player. Both are very crafty, and yeah I could see JHS becoming very good like Shai is in the middle game. I get that this is why the comparison is made.....but it completely falls apart because Shai is elite at things JHS is awful at. The one skill may be comparable, but there's no way in hell they are comparable players.
Because clearly if someone compares a player to another player it must mean that both players have to be equally as good.
