That's a good workout. I remember liking Bowen last year. Weatherspoon and Schofield are good trade down candidates. The Athletic mock has us taking Poole at 53. Ty Jerome has great footwork and can really shoot it, but poor guy has T-Rex arms lol 6'5.5" in shoes with a 6'4" wingspan.

Jordan Poole at #53 would be a steal for Utah. I like that fit too. He might be one of these guys who's on sale cuz he went cold late in the season. possible victim of overreactions over smaller sample-sizes.

So who has a chance at becoming the next Pascal - and won't be picked by Utah cuz Lindsey once again needs a ****ing PG?

I like Pascal a lot. I think he played out of position at Villanova this year and was used poorly. When he has alpha scores around him he shines.

I think he's probably a role player, but he could still go first round. If teams are looking for shooting, Windler is going to be appealing, probably more so than Cameron Johnson from UNC. He seems to move well off the ball and has some ability to go to the rim.

Ideally, the Jazz would get an athletic, 2-way wing who is dynamic with the ball to play between Mitchell and Gobert. That's a glaring hole for us when Ingles isn't on the floor. I'm not sure if Windler fits that bill, or if any of the wings they brought in yesterday do either. That's why I'm biased towards guys like Horton-Tucker and Bazley. I think those two can be triple-threat guys.

I would take windler over cam johnson....maybe

I had to look it up, Pascal was in the 2016 draft--the one in which the Jazz traded the 12th pick (Taureen Prince) for 49 games of George "its never about the money for me" Hill.

Lindsey swung for the fences to make a run and keep Hayward but he whiffed. Hill walked...er, uh hobbled away on 9 toes, and Robyn drug a sulking Hayward to Boston.

I hope the Jazz draft a player this year rather than trade the pick.

the PF you're looking for doesnt exist in this draft either... some 3pt shooter who's ready to hold minutes like Clarke at PF... that guy isnt gonna be on the board in the 20's if he does exist...

He might if we have the balls to draft Bazley and he happens to pan out. Samanic could possibly work as well. Kabengele might impress us all and show he can dribble and pass a bit.

U are thinking of Eric Paschall.

Pascal Siakam played at New Mexico State for Marvin Menzies.

the thing is with Siakam, and was on full display last night, he's got all these Al Jefferson type of scoring angles, and he's super fluid and slippery type of athlete, not like Al at all...

He's completely abusing Draymond 1v1... That was ****ing GLORIOUS.. .then in the post game he says "I'm doing it for my dad"... If thats not what its all about, i shoulda spent my time on something else, but I'm glad I watch basketball, best sport around.

But the answer to your question, is Brandon Clarke... He's not that guy on offense like Pascal tho, with this vast array of moves, and Pascal's game was really forged in the face of double-teams, which is evident when u watch him play.... Siakam is gonna get PAID, Clarke is more like, in a best case scenario ur 3rd best player type of contributor.

I'll watch Nic Claxton more. He comes off like Bambi on ice skates to me, but I'll see what the buzz is about.

Check this out, and he knew for damn sure there was gonna be a ton of scouts watching cuz of Jaxson Hayes.

With Claxton, it's not any one thing that is gonna jump out and scream "this is the nba translatable skill" but what it is, is he's really got this intriguing blend of skills, or foundation for an intriguing blend of skills... That potential is there, if he can harness it, and how quickly, is the only question.

this kid is 10x the prospect Bolomboy ever was..
 
To piggyback the Siakam talk and his comment about his dad, here’s what I found from Wikipedia. The kid and his family sound like great people.

“Siakam is the son of Tchamo Siakam, the former mayor of Makénéné, Cameroon, and Victorie Siakam. His father died in a car crash in October 2014. To this day, one of Siakam's greatest regrets is that he was unable to attend his father's funeral because it occurred while he was waiting for the issuance of a new US visa.[1] His three older brothers, Boris, Christian, and James, all played NCAA Division I basketball in the United States[24]—Boris at Western Kentucky, Christian at IUPUI, and James at Vanderbilt.[1]”
