Following potential 2017 draftees...

Is Lauri Markannen really that much better than Tyler Lydon?

Not a huge fan of either, but just wondering. They are only 13 months apart in age, so not a huge difference. Aren't their weaknesses basically identical? It's not like Markannen is a long 6'11. His wingspan can't be much more than 7'1 at the most.

Elite physical tools? He has a 7'2 wingspan for a center w/ a 9'1 standing reach. That's extremely average. He isn't a PF and anyone who has subscribed to that from the early hype for him around here is sorely mistaken.

We will agree to disagree with this

I am still a huge semi ojeleye fan.

Josh Hart would be a great addition. Either take him at 30 or trade up from 42.

Jordan bell is also very high on my list.

Kind of meh on dj Wilson he just seems so soft.

I have Ojeleye #9 on my big board. And Bell #11. I'm either crazy or a visionary I guess. But I can't help it. They just check the boxes. If I'm wrong I'm wrong.

What are elite about his physical tools? Do you think a 7'2 wingspan and 9'1 reach are elite for a center?

This is how you should be

Dude can't shoot, can't guard, has lower back problems and is known for his poor intangibles.

His strengths are: decent sized center, can maybe be good on offense on day?, and he can rebound.

That is ludicrous to believe. Just watch his defensive tape, he get's blown past by 30+ year old European 4's who look like the guys you play at the local YMCA.

And what reason do you you think he can be a 4 after watching those?

You should really re-think starting a draft website if your takes are this poor.

He's more athletic and explosive than a lot of 7-footers and he's only 18. I'm not entirely sold on him, but I do think he can be an Olynyk-type back-up 5. I don't think he puts the ball on the deck well enough to be a 4 right now.

Depending on who we take at 24, I'd rather take a few guys at 30 than Hartenstein, including Hart and Ojeleye.

What might be better is to say who we don't want the jazz to draft?

He is 19 and he moves like he is 30.

So because I have an opinion I am wrong?

Is Tyler lydon a 4?

I think he has the ability to move vertically enough to defend 4s. He has decent foot work and gets his butt down.

Look at 2:55 on that video. That side spin on the ball is Joakihm Noah-esque.

But all the video evidence suggest otherwise. Saying Hartenstein can guard NBA 4's is wrong. I'm 100% certain no NBA team is drafting him to be a 4. This isn't the 90's.

I dont know if Lydon can guard 4's either. I'm not a Lydon fan.

I was just wondering if Jonah bolden had played on UCLA if we would be talking about him in the late teens to early 20s instead of leaf.

He is 19 and he moves like he is 30.

Or as Captain Optimist says: he has athletic ability resembling Derreick Favors.

Wow is it bad. Has Kennard falling to us at 30, Donovan Mitchell falling to 20. Even Kurucs in there, they need to do some hiring. They're owned by Turner jeez

If Monk fell to #10 spot I'd trade the farm to move up and get him.
