Following Potential 2020 draftees

That final game win against the Spurs is a killer, especially considering the teams that are picking ahead of us from the tiebreaker.
 
Malachi Flynn is giving me Stockton/Nash vibes. Undersized but clean/crisp passer, shooter and gutsy.
"clean" is almost understating his shooting.... no one has a cleaner lookin shot in this draft, IMO, and there's really a bunch of excellent shooters..

I was posting about him here at WSU, one of the things that just stood out to me clear as day was the quality of his shot.
 
Listen guys, if Tyrell Terry is a top 20 guy in this draft, im gunna just say this one more time but PEYTON PRITCHARD IN THE 2ND RD IS CRAZY VALUE.
 
I just read maybe the most useless, least-informative basketball article ive seen in years... If there was ever an article that coulda been written by a robot, this is it...

Basically it was about Olivier Sarr's younger brother who signed with Real Madrid at 15, and Fran Fracshilla speaking on him with the caveat that he's never seen him before...............


this is where were at with basketball coverage in 2020 fellas.... the dilution is real to the point where articles like these are passing thru editors hands...






the meat of the article, i guess, is; To be in Real Madrid’s system at 15 “tells you he’s probably a high-level prospect,” said Fraschilla, who keeps watch on European basketball.
 
Ringer did a new mock with trades.



Jazz get McDaniels. Nuggets snag Maxey the pick before us.
I think with the abbreviated offseason rookies will have a harder time helping teams win now... might be a good year to take a project like McDaniels... even if he shows a flash or two in the G League (if they have any) or in garbage time then a guy like that can get overhyped trade value. They can also fail really fast which has value too.
 
I also find it comical that all the noise out of GS was that they liked Okongwu more than Wiseman and that they would take Edwards or Deni over him... yada yada... its all smoke... they want Wiseman and they don't want some team to move to #1 to swipe him early.

I think Edwards will bust... someone should take him high but I just think he's a different version of Wiggins. I think of all the guys in the top ten he'd scare me the most.

I don't think McDaniels is entirely a boom-or-bust prospect. I think there's a scenario where he ends up something like Kelly Oubre if he buys in to playing defense and playing a complementary role.

The Ringer has the Jazz passing on Poku for McDaniels. If they really believe in McDaniels' work ethic and versatility as a wing, it's not a bad move. The Jazz are in a good position if they get to choose between McDaniels and Poku.

I'm more confident in Okoro being an impact player than Edwards right now. Edwards does have a low floor if things don't come together for him.

McDaniels is not a boom or bust prospect, he's a project, a real fancy one.
 
If the new Jazz owner is reading this, DM me to hire me to head the draft ops.
Also to the new owner... Cy will be cheap AF and do better than the current regime. He gives zero ***** about hand pads and balance beam tests. You don't have a lot to lose.
