Following potential 2017 draftees...

Diallo is one pick i dont think I would complain about if the Jazz drafted him at 24.

I guess it comes down to if someone i like more slipped.

I need to do croc's big board with each player ranked for the Jazz

when it comes to the draft there are things that can make a player excel in the nba.

Size and length - no matter what you do you can not get taller or longer (except for those few who still grow a little)

Motor - is what they call it and to me that means players that come in and never stop working while on the court. Defense and offense

Work ethic - This is what players do off the court to become better on the court. This is hard to gauge because there are players that seem to put in the effort but dont improve. IE shooting a 1000 3 pointers with a broken shot. This is where Hayward excels as did the mailman. They continued to improve small parts of their games.

Competitive - This to me is huge because it is easy to become complacent with losing. These are the players that want the call in the 4th quarter. These are the players that want to beat the person they guard every game. If you look at Gobert he gets pissed when some one scores. He takes it personal. I will remember when Wiggins dunk on him and then Gobert came back later and stuffed another dunk attempt and gobert stood over him and flexed.

Desire - the is really tough to gauge but you want to be the best you can be. it is taking everyting above and pushing yourself. It is part of everything previously listed.

Basketball IQ - I dont care how much talent you have if you cant think the game of basketball you will never be successful. this is where Ingles has grown immensely.

what s up PKM and PGAB with your boy Calapri and yall talking about how he gets players ready for the league. This be the 2nd straight year one of his big guys will be drafted lower then they would have had they not gone to college, Whats up with that? I guess Calapri does develop them for the social aspect of playing in the league because he sure doesn't improve their games. The Harrison twins are another example and Orton. I can name numerous others.
 
Karl Malone was/is considered prototypical PF size. Calling him undersized is stupid. He was the gold standard for what a PF should ideally look like. Later on it became a bit taller/longer with Duncan/KG/Dirk/Pau entering the NBA, but PF's Malone's size werent considered undersized even then, it just wasnt the ideal size.
