What's new

Following Potential Draftees - 2019 (not kidding)

Word is EJ Montgomery is gonna stay in this draft... He is a major sleeper compared to where the consensus has him (which is not on any mocks..)
 
I don't feel like that is the right comp either. Keldon is a more physical player, gives more effort on defense and in general, and he takes better shots. KCP is a better pure shooter but chucks too much for his own good. His defense and effort have always been suspect.
All things KCP was coming out of Georgia.... (buy he was way better than Keldon)
 
Well i mean to sit here and compare 19 year old Keldon Johnson to soon to be 26 year old Royce O'Neale, and for no one to bring up age or experience.....

I'd have to say this seems to be a exercise in talking out of your ***, from all parties involved..
Focus more on improving your reading ability ('Keldon DOES things better than Royce') than on your fetish for young men.

I just found this interesting. When you look at Dylan Windlers production and add it to his athletic profile he becomes enticing at #23. He was a better athlete than Gordon Hayward at their respective Combines (granted Hayward was only 19 at the time compared to a more mature 22 yo Windler). Hayward was drafted at #9 though because of the development upside. Windler could fall all the way to #23 because of age and he doesn't look like a bad choice imo.

Watching Windler in games he even has some shot creation potential. He has nice handles, could run the pick and roll as a ball handler, I've even seen him use Harden-like stepbacks a few times.
 
I really really like those groups we're bringing in. Seems promising.

It's impressive that they're getting them all in a single day too. Kabengele vs. Claxton vs. Reid vs. Williams in a showdown of late first-round bigs. Ponds and Harper are relevant 2nd rounders too. Williams might get his butt kicked in single coverage with those bigs...

Then Okpala vs. King vs. Brazdeikis vs. Windler in a battle of long wings. I'm impressed that everyone's agent agreed to this. Okpala might think he's better than these other guys.

Hopefully, they can pull in Bazley, Nwora, Horton Tucker, Samanic and PJ Washington at some point.

This reminds me of the workout the Jazz had way back in 2010 when they brought in Gordon Hayward, Paul George, Xavier Henry and some other dude, maybe Luke Babbit. Hayward apparently won that workout, and the Jazz drafted him.

Last year, the Jazz had a workout with Grayson Allen, Aaron Holliday, Jalen Brunson, Khyri Thomas and a couple others. Grayson apparently dominated that workout and got drafted.

The Jazz seem to put a lot of stock in these workouts overall, maybe more than they should.

Naz Reid has really good hands and is really mobile for a guy that size. At the Combine, he came in at 257 lbs and 14% body fat, which is about the same body fat as Demarcus Cousins had at the Combine. He's calling himself a PF. My biggest gripe with him is that he's pretty soft defensively and his intensity wanes from time to time. Really talented though.

He needs to lose weight and get into better shape to improve athletically because right now he's slow footed and plays below the rim on both ends. I wouldn't mind him at #53 if he's still there though because he's only 19 and pretty skilled offensively for his age.

I agree with the more than they should part.

Oh ****, homie is from the same zip code as me! Different town (next town over) but we share the zip code.

Draft Naz!!!!!
 
Damn, windler looks really good. Just take that guy.

I don’t think his ball handling will hold up in the nba but it looks like he might be able to improve there. I remember Jaycee Carroll in college and he was whack and now when I watch his euro games you can see he finally realized ball handling starts with the feet and he has a little wiggle. I could see windler becoming acceptable with that kind of shot.

Windler tested out as a better athlete than you might think. He reminds me of Mike Miller, the Memphis version, which is a pretty good complementary player. I feel like the Jazz already have complementary players and should swing for the fence, but Windler isn't a bad pick.
