Is it just me or does PG_AB always name 30-40 no name prospects in every draft thread and says they are underrated. Dude is a broken record. It feels like he's covering his ***. I just want to know Cy's draft crush? He seems to be right every year or at the very least his guy turns out to not be a total bust. Unlike PG he doesn't name fifty + prospects.
MSU 2017Commit Jaren Jackson is a player sure to get mentioned here later as a possible 1 and done. He's 6'10 with a 7'4" wingspan and a damn fluid athlete. He's got the potential to easily go in the top-40. His father was on the Spurs '99 championship team.
Jaren Jackson Jr is a player I have at #30 in my last 2018 mock. Rivals just bumped himup from the30's into the top-10.
Here's the aforementioned Jaren Jackson Jr.'s funky shooting mechanics (on a 4pt play) He shoots a bit of a quick release Shawn Marion typa shot.

He's gonna matchup vs Marvin Bagley in 3 days. In the matchup from the clip vs Findlay Prep he dropped 27 14 boards and 2 blocks.
Here's Kobe dunking on Jaren Jackson Sr. (who was 6'4 --- Junior is 6'10") who plyed 13 NBA seasons as a journeyman and also was coaching in the D-League a few years back.

Cy also liked Giannis.
I’d be doing backflips if Mikal Bridges fell to the Jazz.ESPN's Jonathan Givony has a recently updated mock that looks interesting. Having read the article, here is my personal review and interpretation of who Givony thinks goes in the top 20:
1 Kings - Doncic
2 Hawks - Ayton
3 Suns - Bamba
4 Magic - Bagley
5 Bulls - Jackson
6 Cavs (fr. BK) - Porter
7 Sixers (fr. LAL) - Young
8 Mavs - Carter
9 Grizzlies - Miles Bridges
10 Knicks - Sexton
11 Jazz - Mikal Bridges
12 Hornets - Knox
13 Clippers - R. Williams
14 Nuggets - T. Brown
15 Pacers - Musa
16 Pistons - Hutchinson
17 Bucks - Gafford
18 Blazers - Walker
19 Pels - Gilgeous-Alexander
20 Wiz - B. Brown

Uhh, I really didnt dive too deeply into drafts back then. I just really liked OPJR and that's it. I thought Burke was good and I thought Giannis was interesting. Wouldn't say I evaluated either more than surface level.Cy also liked Giannis.

Do you consider yourself a college basketball fan? Are you a casual or hardcore observer? I know the answers to these questions already, you're projecting them..
My knowledge spans coast to coast, so I know a lot of players. Guilty as charged. The tournament is 65 teams, forgive me for actually preparing for it, the throwing **** at a wall and hoping it sticks method is tried and tested --- but I must be an *******, it's not good enough for me.
this is like if we were playing some geography contest and I win because I know all the capitals.. I get blamed for having an overabundance of on-topic knowledge... it's less fun with me here..
The facts of the matter are i raise the collective knowledge of this thread immensely just by posting here.. who are we kidding? You guys are lottery bound... This conversation, and what I know, is supremely relevant to the Jazz and this thread..
This is a west coast based forum.. Who here has their fingers on the pulse of the east coast like me?? There's plenty of reasons why I know all these players..
The sad truth is I usually beat Cy to the punch by months or years, y'all just change the narrative.. Look no further than Jaren Jackson Jr, Keita Bates Diop and Chandler Hutchinson this year.. In fact Cy's strategy probably revolves around mining my posts for actionable info... LOL.. All these players I was the first to post about em...
Cy just does some marketing type of ******** spins and tries to call his shot early so he can maintain a "i told you so" tone.. it's simple tactics that i'm sure fly over the heads of many. He fixates on some top-5 or top-10 pick --- wow what a parlor trick!! he's a know it all who really goes out on a ledge.
He was a Trey Burke supporter tho for sure, especially in comparison to Dennis Schroder.... Right?
I didn’t really follow pro basketball or the draft hardly at all back then. Really liked Steven Adams, Giannis, Gobert and Schroder in that draft. Was really hoping the Jazz could turn 14 and 21 into two of those guys. Hated the Burke pick. Loved the move up for Gobert. My wife thought it was odd that I was more excited for the #27 pick than for the #9 pick.Uhh, I really didnt dive too deeply into drafts back then. I just really liked OPJR and that's it.

Kuzma is Cy's big call... a consensus second rounder that didn't look like a shooter by the numbers. Then he rises to the first and should have been a lotto pick. Cy called it early and never departed.
