Following Potential 2018 Draftees

I don’t think we should blindly trust our management and who they draft. They’ve scored Gobert and Mitchell. But theyve certainly whiffed a bunch of times too. Ends Kanter, Alec Burks, Trey Burke, Trey Lyles, and Bradley all come to mind.

I understand having confidence and hope in management making good moves but let’s not assume that whoever we take will be the BPA or the best move available. Our pick at 21, with few exceptions, warrants scrutiny.

Agree. I'm not blindly trusting management. Just saying that they know better than I do. I haven't been privileged to attend the workouts, interview the prospects or spend 100's of hours watching film. I will say I hated the Burke and Lyles picks and was "meh" on Bradley.

Kanter, Burke and Burks are all on KOC. Yes, Burke was chosen by Lindsey, but he pretty much had no choice. KOC left the Jazz with no viable PG's on the roster. I hope DL has learned lessons from his past mistakes. I think attitude trumps pretty much everything else. You can't teach idiots like Lyles or Kanter to care about the game or playing defense. Nor can you teach a lazy guy with ballerina-like balance to see the virtue in occasional 3hr practices.

And be careful with smoke screens. Obviously, one of the reasons for loving Bradley is Dennis respects the drafting skills of his old bosses. Wherever he heard the rumor, he thought SA was really high on Bradley. I think Pops and Buford had a good laugh at his expense.

You’re super out of touch with reality my friend. The fact you think DL drafted Bradley because Buford and Pops liked him shows that.
 
Which prospects fit Coach Quins "character crucible"?

- Toughness
- Grit
- Passionate
- Love of the Game
- Unselfishness
- Communication ability on and off the court
- Competitiveness
- Leadership ability
- Intelligence
 
I know I bang on about JRob, but if I'm completely honest, Kevin Huerter is still gonna be my go-to-guy come draft day. You just know what you're gonna get from him and while the upside isn't HUGE, we could probably use him day 1 and for the next 4-5 years.

DL liked him as a prospect, but heard the rumor SA was high on him and was planning to draft him. So Lindsey traded up. I'm saying the "leak" was probably a smokescreen by the Spurs. Are you saying teams never "leak" fake intentions, hoping others will draft a player so the prospect they really like falls to them? Lindsey drafted a bust. It happens. Fortunately he made the genius move to get Mitchell.
 
Anyone else think Chandler Hutchinson with a jump shot is a top 10 pick? Could he improve his shooting?

Good length. Good handle. Attacks the rim with ease.

I think he has pretty nice potential.

 
Interesting... we haven't had Chandler Hutchinson nor Kevin Huerter in for a workout.


Those are 2 players right smack in the #21 range.
