Following potential 2017 draftees...

Interesting second round prospect. 6'5 266 pounds at Portsmouth. Wingspan over 6'11. He can do a little bit of everything on the court.


He has to lose like 20-30 pounds, but if he can do that, maybe.
 
Watched the Kuzma DX video... stroke looks smooth, but I'm trying to rectify that with the bad percentages during the year. Did he shoot a lot of threes off the dribble.

Not sure we can really get him at #42, but if we could I like the value there better than Leaf, Lydon, or Wilson at 24. If we keep our picks I think we end up with Evans and whichever combo forward is left at 30.

You think we'd take Evans at 24?

I like him... he's been mocked around there. He's a productive shot creator... more of a prototypical pg. Good steal rate and rebound rate for his size. We had him in for a workout (not like it means much).
 
I think the Jazz are preparing to replace Favors. So a 4/5 big at 24 makes a lot of sense unless someone obvious falls. I have some doubts about DJ Wilson until I see more handle and passing. Jury's out on Bolomboy.

Frank Jackson at 30 might make sense. I question whether they'll draft an undersized PG like Evans unless he's really awesome.

Total darkhorse pick would be Hartenstein as a project stretch-5.

I hope we don't make a mistake drafting for current need. the prospect needs to have a long-term projected role or path to playing time, but I think we can get pf/c fairly cheap or Bolomboy can handle spot duty.

If they think Bam, Bell, etc. are best available go for it. Evans was the focal point of a really good offense. He has some warts, but he brings a different dynamic to our current stable of pgs and could be the long-term answer if Dante fizzles.
 
The Jazz have a need everywhere. I dont think there is a single position we are set in.

PG: We probably need another one. Neto is the only signed past 2018

Wings: We definitely need more, currently the only wing we have who is on the roster past 2018 is Alec Burks. Even if we re-sign Ingles/Hayward, that's still only 3 wings signed past 2018 (even less if you think their is an impending Burks dump).

PF:Only Trey Lyles is signed past 2018.

C: We have Gobert and Bolomboy past 2019

Part of the reason having FA after the draft sucks.

Which is why you go BPA... maybe give more priority to position scarcity or upside if players are rated similarly.
