Following Potential 2018 Draftees

Who doesn’t love Miles and Mikal? They seem like the most NBA ready dudes in the draft. Good on both ends too.

Mikal is the closest thing to Klay Thompson you’re gonna find. And Miles would be so ****ing good on the Jazz. Imagine our defense with a super versatile defender like that.
 
I don't think I'd do that trade. You're giving up the ability to sign a max or near max free agent in 2019 for the 11th pick. And that's likely the last time we'll have cap space before Donovan gets a big contract in 2021. It's risking a lot on the 11th pick being a homerun.
 
Workouts tomorrow.



This Penava guy looks interesting in the second round. 15.6 PPG, 8.5 RPG, 3.9 BPG, 1.9 APG, 34% threes on 3 attempts.

Mikal reminds me nothing of Klay (this kid's a 3/4) and is far from NBA ready imo. He's fairly passive and I think will take years to truly develop. I do love his raw potential though and he'd make a ton of sense for us.

As a Sparty fan, I hate Miles' offensive game. It's solid but I think he has too much chucker in him and I'm not sure how he fits in a team concept, offensively that is, and really specifically in our system. I also think he doesn't have much higher of a ceiling. I do like his defensive potential as you stated though.

At 11, if they're both still there, I'd probably be between Okobo and Mikal. At 7 (in my hypothetical trade up again scenario), I'd consider either of those guys but would likely take whoever is left out of my top 7 (Ayton, Bagley, Bamba, Doncic, JJJ, Young, Porter) as I think any of them would be grand ****ing slam for us.
 
There's some real potential in the 2nd for stretch 4's which makes me think we really should ignore the KBP's of the world and go for a special slasher/playmaker/shooter in the 1st. Okobo or Huerter and Brown (who could also be a stretch 4) probably fit that bill most.

Wow you really like Okobo (I’m a fan too, but he’s a huge reach at that point) I don’t see how Ayton, Bamba or Young fit at all for the Jazz. JJJ is probably my favorite player in the draft for the for us after Doncic. Porter is intriguing for sure.

Bagley feels like 20 Andrew Wiggins type points a night. But I would never pretend to be an expert.
 
I’m not sure if it’s realistic, but I still like the idea of Svi from Kansas in the 2nd.

Has good enough size to play off-guard, is a good shooter, and despite being a 4 year player is still just 21 (just turned 21 on the 10th).

Decently athletic at worst.

But c’mon...6’8 and a 40% shooter from 3? He can play somewhere.

Weirdest thing with him is that he’s 6’8 with a 6’5 wingspan. Hardly ever see that in the NBA.

Young is too good of a shooter and playmaker to ignore. We need both and he could get 16 minutes, perhaps from day one, behind Rubio. There could also be the outside shot he could make Rubio expendable at the end of the year. Ayton and Bamba are just too studly not to draft and either would be a major, major asset to use as a chip to get a stud. Either could also fill in immediately behind Gobert, and maybe we'd get lucky as hell, and one could play the 4. Bamba's shot looks decent.

Boy, this Trae Young fella is gonna disappoint A LOT of people.
 
Yea I wouldn’t want Trae Young.

But who the hell knows, the draft is such a ****ing crapshoot. Which is why I’m out on KBD. Most of the dudes in his range don’t end up being NBA players, and he just looks so much like a dude who is never heard from again. That’s the entirety of my scouting report on him.
