No there's a team Im really hoping nabs him at the top of the 2nd rd but those chances are looking more and more bleak.

An Evan turner that cares and can shoot is a freaking good player. He’s also bigger than Evan... right? If he can shoot (which is a definite if) then he could be all star level good as a combo forward. At 21 (or really anywhere in the draft) there are going to be ifs.
I really think he goes late lotto or mid teens though... I don’t see him making it to us.
This is the first time I've looked up Brown's numbers but am I reading this right? He scores 11.3 ppg and shoots 29% from college 3's?
Correct me if I'm wrong but to me those are VERY mediocre numbers.

Mitchell scored 11.7ppg and was 33% from 3 in college.
I guess more that he’ll be worth a **** at all. I’m of the opinion we will forget his name 2 years from now and he will be an “oh yeah, whatever happened to that dude?” kid when we look back at this draft.
You’re leaving off the part about elite althleticism, insane length and great defender. But, yeah, y’all frame the narrative however you want.

Did I say that Brown would be a superstar like Mitchell?
Or was I pointing out the fact that college stats can be very misleading?

This kid is not the next Josh Selby... He's legit, very talented. Most importantly to this board he could help the Jazz.

Anfernee Simons and Jazz rookie Donovan Mitchell are very close. I asked Mitchell about Simons after a Lakers preseason game in October: "He's talented. He can score at all 3 levels. The main thing I talk to him about is just defense because scorers are easy to come by, scorers who play defense aren't. I've been talking to him a bunch. I wish him the best of luck. He's just a talented kid. Athletic. Knows where to be, knows the game, and I think that's rare to find in a kid that age. He has a bright future."
^^^^^^ this is who the Jazz need. It just so happens he's close with D. Mitchell too...

That was dripping with sarcasm
Gordon, is that you? Seriously, lots of people were saying the same thing about Gordon Hayward, who incidentally also shot 29% from 3-pt as a soph. Troy Brown's numbers as a freshman in the Pac 12 are comparable to Jaylen Brown. Troy isn't the same athlete obviously, but he has better ball skills.
He'll be fine, though I agree his ceiling will come down to how well he improves his shooting. But the dude is only 18 for crying out loud.
Ultimately, it's a non-issue. Brown will probably get picked several spots above the Jazz if the Jazz stay at 21. He's in play as high as #12 to LAC.

This is so short-sighted... wow. Memphis has become a dumpsterfire. What the hell are they doing?
Go look at what Mikal Bridges put up as a freshman and as a sophomore.
Like him immensely as a B-ball player. Don’t know about him as a scout though so I’m like “nah” on this.

Helpful, thanks.
