Following potential 2017 draftees...

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I still think Wilson is a good pick at 30. Wilson has a shot to be better than Lyles. I'm okay with Lydon also and think he's a bit more than just a shooter.

I still like Kurucs at 24. I think the couple of scouts bashing him on the radio or saying the Euros stink this year are smoke screening. If he's there at 30, I'd take him without much thought.

I'm semi-interested in Semi, but don't feel great about him at 24.

If the Jazz want a 4/5 instead of a back-up 5, I'd take Hartenstein ahead of Pasecniks. I think Hartenstein has a good chance to be better than Montejunas. Hartenstein is an explosive 7-footer with some handle, shooting touch and passing.

I'd also be willing to take Frank Jackson at 30. I think he can be similar to Jordan Clarkson as a scoring combo-guard. He's not a guy you want to rely on to play heavy PG minutes, but he should be able to blend in and contribute in the Jazz's offense.

I'd take Jackson at 30 as well.

Why don't we like Swanigan?

He has to run the floor and guard the pick and roll. In the half court offense, he's otherwise a force.

I like him. I'd be fine if we picked him. His defense worries me but he is a great rebounder and he could be an offensive force in the NBA.

If bell was gone at 30 I would go Frank jackson

I like Jackson a lot and think the Spurs may grab him before 30.

I really dont think he can. He could be Jared Sullinger tho.

Why is there so little chatter about OG Anunoby? I see there are differing opinions about the kid on the various mocks but I would not let him get past #24 if I were the Jazz.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

Evans and white are solid prospects... not any more or less scrub material than any of the guys we've brought in.

I see high bust potential with both from where they are expected to be drafted.

How much effect does a great workout how on teams decisions? Lessort killed it today and Swanigan didn't.

I think it generally doesn't have much effect, but i think Lyles workout with the team went a long way in causing the Jazz to take him. the liked his 3 point shooting against no defense, his feel for the game/passing during scrimmages and then there was the infamous balance test.

I think it depends in part on how much the Jazz already know about a player. Rudy Gobert apparently turned heads in a big way during his workout. Olivier Hanlan looked good in his workout. The Jazz had been scouting Lyles for a few years, so the workout was just part of the equation with him.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Lessort plays big. He goes hard on the boards, chases blocks, runs the floor. He's a physical player like Bell.

Of everyone projected to be drafted who had the highest 3 pt %

Yep, Walt Perrin said he thought Trey Lyles was going to be a better NBA player than Karl Anthony Towns before Lyles played at Kentucky. Which actually made me not hate the pick as much as I did initially.

But it's things like this that make me really question Perrin's ability to judge talent.

Frank Mason from Kansas probably. 47.1% on 4.8 3 point attempts per game. Some big guys have higher percentages but it's because they average less than 0.5 attempts per game

Not sure anyone picked in the 20s can be considered a bust... I mean most of those guys don't make it.

I think if a team is trying to decide between 2 or more players in the same tier, then workouts can factor in to who they prefer. Otherwise, I doubt they put a lot of weight on individual workouts.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Not surprising seeing the over-reaching on Jackson for obvious reasons.
A couple comps have been holarity.
