Following Potential 2018 Draftees

I like you, you’re my guy, but how can you type that he scores at 3 levels? He’s literally one of the worst shooters in the draft.

He has scored at all three levels at least once.

I like you, you’re my guy, but how can you type that he scores at 3 levels? He’s literally one of the worst shooters in the draft.

Because I'm looking at him as a prospect rather than a finished product. Brown has good touch at the rim and can finish with either hand. He can shoot mid-range jum[pers, and he can shoot from 3. His college percentages are mediocre, but he projects to be a 3-level scorer.

Another thing I'm looking at is the fact that he's only one year removed from high school where he played point guard and, more often than not, played with the ball in his hands. He had no trouble driving all the way to the rim and scored most of his points in the paint. Now he's being asked to play off the ball and spot up on the wing. It's a different role and something he's not accustomed to. There's no reason to expect he won't be able to make the transition to playing the wing full time, but he needs to develop that aspect of his game.

Every year there are new buzz phrases that, if you don’t have, you “can’t play basketball in today’s NBA.” First it was “stretch four,” recently it’s “positionless basketball,” and more recently it’s “scoring at all three levels,” which I take to mean you can score from deep, from the mid range, and at the rim. Could be way off, because I couldn’t survive in “today’s game.”

We need more of these... I love business phrases that really mean nothing that everyone uses.

I'm just ready for draft day. One of my favorite days of the year. Grab a beverage, kick back on the couch, turn the tv to ESPN and be online at the same time keeping up with trades and Jazzfanz ... Good times. It's like Christmas morning.

I would offer a lottery only protected 2019 Jazz pick and the 52nd, Tony Bradley to the 76'ers for Timothe Luwawu, their 26 pick and their 39th pick.

Same here man. It's actually better than Christmas for me as I won't have to watch GSW, Celtics, Cavs, etc, on TV.

Well this is gonna make draft day even MORE interesting.

The Suns has #1 and #16.

If I were the Spurs I'd do #1, #16 and Josh Jackson without blinking.

Anyone would do that deal, Suns would be dumb to do that trade.

How about #1 and #16, but NOT Josh Jackson?

Zhaire Smith isn't going to be there at 21. He also isn't good at, you know, basketball.

This team has plenty of dunking ability if they can space the floor effectively, but more athleticism would be nice.

LOL in what regard? You watch a lot of Texas Tech this year?

the 2 Jazz picks on the current nbadarft mock would be a nice fit in the event Favors walks. Spellman and Spaulding.
