JAVONTE SMART – DELAWARE BLUE COATS, PG/SG, 6’4’’, 24 YEARS OLD​

Smart has been stuffing the stat sheet in the G League. He was recently waived from his two-way contract with the Philadelphia 76ers, but that seemed more about the Sixers getting Kenneth Lofton Jr. than anything to do with Smart’s play. The third-year player has averaged 21.1 points, 5.1 assists and 3.6 rebounds. Smart has also put up 48/43/95 shooting splits, on an impressive 8.1 three-point attempts per game.

ETHAN THOMPSON – MEXICO CITY CAPITANES, SG/SF, 6’5’’, 24 YEARS OLD​

Thompson has been one of the G League’s best scorers this season. He’s averaging 23.1 points on 45% shooting. Thompson has also hit 39% of his 7.2 three-point attempts per game. It looks like Thompson has been a more active and competitive defender than during his first couple of professional seasons too. And he’s getting on the glass more, with 5.6 rebounds per game. Thompson could be a candidate for a two-way deal, for a team looking for some organizational wing depth.

MATTHEW HURT – MEMPHIS HUSTLE, SF/PF, 6’9’’, 23 YEARS OLD​

Hurt showed signs in his G League run a year ago, but has really broken out this season. He’s got good size for a wing, and he’s strong enough to guard up at the four. Hurt has been an improved finisher this season, as he’s averaging 13.2 points on 54% shooting. He’s also hit 39% of his 4.9 three-point attempts per game. The best thing? Hurt is one of the better help defenders in the G League, as he’s averaged 2.3 blocks per game.

ADONIS ARMS – MEMPHIS HUSTLE, SF/SG, 6’6’’, 25 YEARS OLD​

As his name might suggest, Arms is a strong defender. He’s been one of the best defensive wings in the G League this season. He’s also flashed an improved shot, as he’s at 40% from behind the arc on 3.9 attempts per game. In addition, Arms is a stronger rebounder for a wing at 5.3 boards per game. He’s another candidate for a potential two-way contract for a team that needs a defensive-minded wing.

DARIUS BAZLEY – DELAWARE BLUE COATS, SF/PF, 6’9’’, 23 YEARS OLD​

Bazley hasn’t been in the G League very long, but he’s already made a major impact. He’s averaging 21.1 points, 10.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.3 steals and 3.0 blocks per game for Delaware. It’s clear that Bazley’s athleticism is NBA-level. He’s too quick and too strong for most G League players to defend. The challenge is that Bazley is still a shaky shooter, as witnessed by 27.6% on 6.4 three-pointers per game. If that improves, Bazley could be a late-bloomer (third draft?) callup for an NBA team.
 
It would be great to pick up another Kris Dunn level contributor by cycling thorough some 10 day contracts. Probably not likely, but would be nice.
 
Maybe we try and find another Tech. Someone who we can develop and then trade once they start contributing at a low price.
 
Bazley is worth a look, but I’m not sure his shooting will ever come around. I kinda want the Jazz to add Mac McClung for the rest of the season - just for entertainment purposes. Is he available?
