Following Potential 2018 Draftees

I am still a big fan of Killian tillie and think he would be a great change of pace player off the bench. I think he is a late first or early second pick.

I am still a big fan of Rui too but he is a project right now.

I hope we see Vanderbilt get into game shape quickly. He is the biggest wildcard for the Jazz right now but I worry about draft another player on the roster that can't shoot

There are quality prospects who will be pushed to the late 20s and early 2nd round. It looks like a deep draft like last year. Tillie, Bruce Brown, Gilgeous-Alexander, Rawle Alkins, Metu, Mo Wagner all look viable.
 
Josh Okogie Sophomore SG at Georgia Tech is way underrated, and primed for a late rise in the draft process, keep an eye on him... first and foremost this kid is a tough SOB and would be a crowd favorite, he'd fit right in next to Mitchell IMO...

strong NBA frame at 6'4" with long arms and GREAT HANDS, he projects as a two way player, he can pass, he's shooting 41% from 3 on 3.1 attempts.

This kid is really good, it borders on disrespect that he's not commonly seen as a fringe 1st rd pick.. Gimmie him over Grayson Allen any day of the week.

PG_AB stamp of approval for sure. He's Georgia Tech's best guard since the aforementioned Iman Shumpert. Clearly he's superior to Wayne Selden.

Lonzo Ball's shooting 30% from 3 and De'aaron Fox is at 36.. As much as the one-and-done rule helps evaluators no doubt it throws people for serious loops too, it's not all good -- gives people more time to overthink things tbh, and if there's one thing i've learned in life, u are supposed to strike and strike swiftly when the time is right, and everything else will fall in line as long as u maintain a level of discipline...

I dunno how y'all wanna besmirch my "shot doctor" abilities... how many of these typa small-sample size bullshits do i need to debunk?

the last man standing on the Trey Lyles "not only can shoot, but he's a good shooter" train...


The most glorious of all my shot doctor calls, and I wish to be judged on this one more than any of the others, infact subtract all the other ones completely and judge me just on this alone, and lets be real it was a FAR out call, I was screaming to blatantly overpay the market......

Is this 27 year old who's shooting a stone cold 40% from the 3pt line on 5attempts per. and I was so right about this I should end with one of those type of lines like "**** you and goodnight" and then drop the mic and walk out, but I'm classier than that and wouldn't stoop to those levels..

It's who you thought it was btw

i

Looking like Lil Ze from City of God. The chief Al Farouq Aminu. Who you will recall people, ones whos opinions are apparently valued here, i wont name names they are unworthy, swore up and down couldn't shoot whatsoever...

I think Ayton ends up going #1. His combination of skill set and physical gifts is incredible.

His jump shot is legit:



And then he physically imposes himself like Shaq at times...

Iirc, cy is a big okogie guy as well.

Impressive how he's played since coming back from injury. Built on an already impressive frosh season. And really gets himself to the FT line. Making 6 FTs a game.
 
Tyler Herro, a Kentucky commit, still has the sweetest shot in high school. Looks a lot like Klay Thompson but a lil less athletic. It will be interesting to see how he does in college and if he pans out to be an NBA prospect. Absolutely love his jumper. Hate his demeanor though.

How much better is Bruce Brown than Okogie???

Pastner as I predicted is a very good coach, thru all the turbulence he's pulled it off, and he's got a certified PG_AB approved 4-star gem on the way in Mike DeVoe, who banged a huge gamewinner over Bol Bol's team the other night in a huge game streamed on Gatorade's Twitter.

Georgia Tech is a major outperformer of consensus expectations, and i saw it coming tbh.. they are beating spreads..

He has a sweet shot and has some kennard type qualities. Not the sweetest shot in HS tho but of the seniors he's top-shelf for sure. I'd have to take Darius Garland of the seniors tho, he easily wins the quickest release contest too so he's got that edge..

The sweetest shooting stroke in highschool actually goes to a 6'7" skinny freshman SG named Patrick Baldwin Jr... That kid is a way better prospect than UNC's Justin Jackson FOR SURE... He has this high type of release but it is just like Dirk levels of pure, the ball jsut splashes thru, he's got some Michael Porter Jr parallels.....

Also Bryan Antoine in the class of 2019 is worthy of mention his mechanics aren't the prettiest but he purity of his shot is extremely high grade, u can't even let him make one, he's capable of Gilbert Arenas levels of destruction, prolonged streaks on fire..

Baldwin has a good shot when open but it's not even comparable to Tyler Herro's. Herro's step back, ability to create jumpshots and nail them with defenders in his face is impeccable. Dude is the third splash brother.
 
Jazz are gonna like Dean Wade.. He's a good fit here. Quite balanced. He's ready too, staying in school would be a bad move. The more I watch him the more I'm certain he's way better than Moritz Wagner, he kinda is Frank Kaminsky esq too....

I hope you are right!! I'm a UK fan but I genuinely was a fan of Herro well before I knew they were involved. It was quite apparent he was Wisconsins best commit since Dekker IMO. I actually first saw him years ago when he was several inches shorter,like 6'1 or 6'2 max and he was FILTHY back then too. You will probably like this kid Nico Mannion too.

Baldwin in 4 years is gonna completely and utterly lights out..
 
Svi is going to make somebody happy at the end of the first, beginning of the second round. he's athletic enough, can put it on the floor enough to where he can get by and let that sweet jump shot make him a lot of money. only 20.
 
Wish Knox was inch taller and a few inches longer. Love his game, just wish he had a touch more size for the stretch 4 spot. But could be a good fit for us in the 10-12 range.

That kid can ball huh? He's also obviously better than Grayson Allen. I agree he's 1st rd material.

Fran Fraschilla was actually on his game during last nights broadcast, he wasnt fluffing up his opinions as much as usual. One thing he said that I thought was silly and hilarious tho there's a grain of truth to it was that in his senior year Svi has learned to drive the ball --- When he first blew up at those Fiba tournaments he was driving people every which way and was utterly unstoppable, and especially in the first half of last nights game thats how he looked.

I maintain my Joe Ingles comp!!! double-down, he;s clearly got a lil more boost in his first step too. Also the kid is straight automatic from the corners.

He's on TV tonight, I think we'll be seeing a carryover from that insane 2nd half vs WVU.. Vanderbilt is wounded with Fisher-Davis done for the season, next season for them is gonna be insane but thats next year..

He could still be growing, who knows, especially his wingspan and stuff i wouldn't count that out. He looks radically different from when I first saw him a few years back
