Following Potential 2018 Draftees

Why, because he is an NBA player?

I remain confused about the Tony Bradley pick.

I like Udoh as the backup and I prefer 48 minutes of rim protection, provided we can have a good floor spacer or offensive threat when Udoh is on the floor. Because of that, I'm not all that enthused about developing Bradley. That take maybe way off base in 5 years, but that's where I'm at right now.

Would gladly swap Bradley for Spellman.

KBD is more mobile than Spellman and I have a feeling that's more what the Jazz is looking for. I think if Huerter is on the board at #21 he is BPA, but KBD could really fill the gap if they don't bring back Favors.

He is obviously more mobile, but he's also significantly older, a worse shooter, and not a big (which is okay, I would just hope a wing playing as a 4 brings any playmaking umph and I don't see any of that with KBD).

I would rather create a unique strength than poorly emulate what the league is moving towards, especially since the Jazz aren't short on big wings that can play the 4 already.

Tangent: I think Ingles playing the "4" would be awesome.

I haven't given up on Bradley. He could be a decent backup big. His salary is so cheap that he doesn't bother me.

True BD. Very true.

So its a weakness if you dont have a 7 foot wingspan? Got it.

If you are below average at anything for your position, it is a weakness.

This is very, very, very simple.

Locke said today that Miles was the first prospect in that second tier to stand out to him

"If the Jazz were to trade up it would be to get one of the Bridges, SGA, or Knox."

I have Miles at about 25 on my board. Please jazz dont trade up for that dude. Mikal, yes.

Besides that he plays a position of little value in the modern NBA, he plays the same position as the team's franchise player who has 0 range.

Furthermore, his "highlights" are ****ing dreck.

I'm pumping the brakes here because the Jazz obviously have an elite front office but that whole thing was a whiiiiiffffff. Trading assets to move up to grab a guy that is destined for G-League greatness, *fart sound*.

We'll see how he develops. When the Jazz took him they knew he was at least a year or two away from contributing anything meaningful. They only gave up a second round pick in the trade to get him so I didn't mind it. And I still don't mind it. I'll take the wait and see approach with him. If he eventually pans out it's great for us. If he doesn't then we didn't really lose much by taking the chance.

Sure.

It's just every year, there are finds to be found in the second round (approximately 40% of the league aren't drafted in the 1st round!). I don't know who they should've drafted with that 2nd rounder, but maybe you can trade it for a later 2nd if you just aren't feeling anybody. I would love another (earlier) 2nd rounder this year.

I'm going off of The Ringer website.

Better to use a stats website.

Thank you. So this gives us an educated guess who the Jazz get to choose from based on whoever is not there.

Okobo, Heurter, Brown, Musa. Who do you want?

All good choices tbh. My personal preference would be Huerter, coming off the bench for Mitchell is a hard act to follow but Huerter would somehow pull it off, i just like his improvement trajectory he's not terribly limited either, definitely not a 1 trick pony. He could be a damn good pick in that range the way Hood was..

Parlay Tony Bradley into Spellman. I’m high on Udoh.

I like Udoh too actually. No on Bradley into Spellman tho it doesn't add up.

Bradley doesn't add up. I'm not even sure who would trade a pick between 30-40 for Bradley.

Wait....why does Walt Perrin say that Troy Brown is a good shooter and to discount his college season...??? Plus he says he is a great defender and very versatile. It sounds like to Walt he checks all the boxes. Am I hearing him right?
