Following Potential 2018 Draftees

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.

His salary isn't the issue. Burning solid assets and being able to foresee that they shouldn't is.

We'll see where this is at in a few years, but I can't see Bradley sticking here.

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?

clearly for brown to be taking 1/3rd of his fg's from 3 at oregon is part of getting him extra reps in an area of need... not because it was best for the team or in his natural comfort zone of play.... it's still a small sample size, his shot isn't broken.

Exum's shot poor %'s thus far in the NBA walt would probably say he's a good shooter too..

Kemba Walker "could be in play" for the Cavaliers, according to @joevardon

Wondering if that was him trying to push him earlier (moving someone else down). I only say that because those takes are so divorced from conventional wisdom.

That being said, I think I like Troy Brown.

Finally checked out some film on Huerter.

Holy ****.

I bet the Jazz would trade that pick for Larry Nance Jr in a heartbeat if they had a chance. Word is he's received plenty of interest but the Cavs want to keep him, there was a report last week they view him as a foundational piece...

Good or bad? I've been kinda meh on him.

Perrin initially said during the workout that Troy needs to improve his shooting.

Would he play PF for us? Not sure he'd fit since we've been trying to find a stretch 4 for like FOREVER.

Good. Very good.

It's one thing to make 3 pointers on good efficiency, it's another to hit them DEEP and look comfortable.

I doubt it, he doesn't seem like a fit on the Jazz at all.

So I was "meh" on him too. I admit when it comes to American white guys I'm immediately skeptical, even downright turned off.

But:

This is actually an old video, so some of this is from his freshman season


This one is specifically his sophomore season


I can't find a good comprehensive breakdown, unfortunately. But looking at that and the scouting reports I can find... this might be THE sleeper.

There are some other things I was reading, too. I don't know where I read it, but Mark Turgeon has a history of deflating prospect performance (Khris Middleton was one referenced). Locke mentioned that although the sample size is small, Huerter had THE best isolation efficiency in the draft (translation: that isn't to say he is the best, but rather that there may be some untapped upside).
