This.
Shot charts with volume and % of different areas of the court. If you read Grantland, it's the chars Kurt Goldsbery uses.
Showed Portis is really good in the center of the court and high left elbow, like extremely efficient. Shot around 51% from midrange from the left elbow to the 3pt line. Wasn't good on the 15' baseline shots, was like 38% from right elbow. 70% from right corner 3.
Kaminsky had the best distribution, showed he can score all over the court.
I think Lyles had the best % within 5 feet, followed by Portis.

Nedim Buza and Lucas Dias workout for the Jazz tomorrow! Any fans? I like these players.
-Dias has an interesting story, of the players many have written off from the 2nd round, I'd vouch for him a bit, for now. He's Brandon Ashley-ish, Mr. Softie reputation, his jumper passes the eye test though, mechanics look easy. clearly though, he fell in love with settling for 20 footers and put up a bunch of 0 rebound games.
His measurements are a bit mysterious, I hope they Jazz measure him and let us plebs know. I suspect DX and most sites have him under-listed at 6'9, pretty sure hes more like 6'10-6'11" with a long wingspan, huge hands. his shooting touch didn't translate into much success % wise, actually regressed from last year, he's talented though, something could click. Only a week older than Dante.

-Buza is someone who was on the radar last year, just turned 20. I'd be shocked if he doesnt get drafted. I've thought he was better than Cedi Osman for some time, my stance has been fairly simple with him, his 3pt shot is pure, he's young and he's more mobile than most young prospects you'd see at the bottom of the 2nd. Givony said he surprised all week defensively and on the boards in practice at the hoops summit, which is good enough for me considering the range. He kind of reminds me of Sam Dekker minus 20 lbs of muscle.
-Bryce Cotton was one of my UDFA guys last year! hyped him up when he first came in to workout and they were clowning his height. did anyone post the recent vid of him workout out with Kris Dunn and Shamgod back at Providence??

Lots of overrating Bobby Portis goin on round here, thats a future bench player...were yall this hyped for Markieff Morris too?
The Jazz will go after a player they hope can start in a few years.. not Kaminsky or Portis..
That vertical jump is a legitimate concern it puts him squarely in Andrew Nicholson territory.
the speed of the game, and size of the competition is going to affect his timing in the paint
dont yall see him barely lifting off the ground and think 'that'd be an easy block for rudy?'

I like Bobby Portis even more now.
Who will they go after then?
Lol I kind of see the Eminem eyes. Also refers to himself in 3rd person at the end. Very Malone.

with Rudy and favors locking down the start all the jazz would need would be a 3rd big. to be one of the first people off the bench. I like the motor. Markief Morris has an awful motor.
I've had this strong impression lately that Kevon Looney would be the right pick for us.

Is Chad Ford giving you that impression?

I think it was givony on DX who almost a month before the draft combine said that Luwawu would be top 20. He wasn't even on any draft boards at that point.
I didn't think he would make it that high because of his shooting, if you say it looked good look out for a meteoric rise.

No, haven't read anything from Ford in awhile. Spy has been doing a good job though.

Lots of potential backup bigs for the Jazz to choose from at #12 this year:
- Kaminsky
- Turner
- Lyles
- Portis
- Looney
Interesting to note that they can all shoot the 3pt shot. They can all shoot the mid-range pretty consistently. They're all long and can play multiple positions.
But just going off of effort and motor which is what the Jazz seems to like when they picked up Gobert, then I think Bobby Portis with his work rate & effort at both ends of the floor could be a dark horse.
