Anfernee has skill. A TON of it.
 
Donte first workout was with the Jazz, just like Donovan so he is the Jazz's main target. :cool: But seriously tho, him and Walker would gel will in the Jazz system. I still really like those two at 21.

I think they'll make Frazier try to guard the big to see if he can. They'll see how Simons handles getting bullied by Alkins. Then they'll see if Simons can play at the 1 and see if Okobo can shut down Simons defensively.

If Simons can hold his own in this workout, he's a real candidate for our pick.

I'd pay good money to sit in on the jazz brass meetings after these workouts. I'd like to hear everyone's real take on these players. Would be fascinating.

He would have been a freshman at Louisville this year but he decided to sit the year out after the Louisville FBI probe.

This isnt how i'd put it. Makes it sound like he was considered part of the 2017 HS Class, he was part of the 2018 class.

To answer the original question, Simons is of age AND one year removed from graduating HS. What he did this year is whats called a post-graduate year at IMG Academy.

Also FWIW it's not exactly like what Thon Maker did, Thon went to HS in Canada, after spending years in the states, so he could declare as an international. Thon was more like abusing a loophole.

A few years back IMG got a giant indian dude Satnam Singh Bhamarra drafted at the end of the 2nd rd after a post-graduate year, to the Mavs IIRC. Thats the same path Simons took, except he's way better and way more hyped.
 
With regard to Jae and moving up... I could see 21+Jae+cap fodder getting us 11 and Marvin Williams...

Jae+21+cap fodder for Faried + 14

Jae + 21 + cap fodder for 15 and Gortat or nix the cap fodder and sub smith and Meeks for gortat

Milwaukee would love Jae... I don’t want their terrible contracts doe.

I don’t love those deals at all... but that is something I could see if dL loves someone
 
I think Burks, #21, 2nds might get us up if we take a bad contract that goes to 2020. Don't know if we want to do that.

Such as....

Burks, #21, 2nds for Marvin and #11. Maybe....

Just watched the video with him. He actually seems like a really nice kid. And he does look young. Any chance he could grow another inch?
