Who’s the Jimmy Butler of this draft?

Who’s the Jimmy Butler of this draft?
I love him… he looks a bit longer than his measurements when on court… had hoped he’d measure a bit better. I love him at 16 and it seems he’s slipping a bit. I thought he’d be gone by then… so I guess the measurements are fine with that regard.I’m really intrigued by Jordan Hawkins. I feel we don’t talk enough about him he should be discussed with the 9th pick but really hope we can get him with the 16th or use 16 and 28 to move to 14-15 to get him. He’s an elite shooter and skilled with the ball.
Agreed he has the closest physical profile.
If he is dropping that’s music to my ears. I would be on cloud 9 if we got him at 16, and I wouldn’t be disappointed if we got him at 9.I love him… he looks a bit longer than his measurements when on court… had hoped he’d measure a bit better.

9 is a decent sized reach imoIf he is dropping that’s music to my ears. I would be on cloud 9 if we got him at 16, and I wouldn’t be disappointed if we got him at 9.
oh trust me. if i sprinted as hard as i could for 60 feet, i would feel like i'm going to die, but I could sprint hard for 60 feet one time.Sounds like someone who has never been out of shape.
whitmore. unless you are talking late first/early second steal.Who’s the Jimmy Butler of this draft?
your right. and lets face it. literally nobody knows who the top 7 or 8 guys are. it is very likely the 10th pick, whoever that is, will be better than the 6th pick - or whatever.Conventional wisdom says that the Jazz can sit at #9 and have their choice of Black, Wallace, George, Bufkin or Hood-Schifino, all of whom could get drafted in the 10 - 15 range. So they should be able to choose their PGOTF. Then at #16, shooters like Whitehead and Sensabaugh, or upside plays like GG and Bilal, would make sense. At 28, they can pick an athletic defensive wing like Cissoko, Rupert or Walsh.
The Jazz don't really need to make moves to have a good draft. They'll just miss out on the top 7 or 8 guys.
he's not a two feet jumper. that's a myth. it was mentioned on JF at one point, but it's myth that is easy to debunk just by watching his highlights. he'll jump off two at times and off one at times.Only issue with Whitmore is he’s a 2 feet jumper.. I have bad memories about 2 feet jumpers.
leonard miller is my #1 target at 16, but if he's not there Hawkins is probably my guy. ideally, the jazz would trade up and get another pick in the mid teens so they could take miller or some other athlete or PG and then get their knock down shooter in Hawkins as well.I’m really intrigued by Jordan Hawkins.

That basically was my point, I’d consider him at 9 is what I should’ve said. I wouldn’t be overjoyed but not mad at the pick at 9, but if we got him at 16 it would be like trading up without spending any assets.9 is a decent sized reach imo
Wow really?he's not a two feet jumper. that's a myth. it was mentioned on JF at one point, but it's myth that is easy to debunk just by watching his highlights. he'll jump off two at times and off one at times.
I'm not really calling any one person out as I've seen it from multiple people.Lol from the guy who throws out STFU like 5x a day… bruh it’s a damn joke. Just say my name if you want to call me out.
Also Jimmy is really effing unique… there isn’t a player like him in this draft.
Bad memories? Donovan was a two foot jumper and that worked out pretty great. Obviously it's better to have a versatile jump package to get above the rim, but it's not necessary.Only issue with Whitmore is he’s a 2 feet jumper.. I have bad memories about 2 feet jumpers.
Who was that 2nd pick in the draft that jumps off of 2 feet and was out of the league within 5 years?Bad memories? Donovan was a two foot jumper and that worked out pretty great. Obviously it's better to have a versatile jump package to get above the rim, but it's not necessary.
Do you think that player didn't succeed because of that thing? I don't think that's the case for anyone tbhWho was that 2nd pick in the draft that jumps off of 2 feet and was out of the league within 5 years?
