Following Potential 2018 Draftees

Is Spellman a good defender?

That’s what’s spoken about. He was at the college level and they report him as a “rim protector.” He’s handled some switches well that I’ve seen, but it does appear some quicker guys get past him but he stays with them with his arms and timing.
 
He's honestly terrible for an NBA prospect, I wouldn't bother with him as a camp invite, let alone waste a pick on him.

Just a suggestion. There are a lot of possibilities in that range. We might be able to get Evans, Thomas, Trent Jr, or Wagner in the 2nd. A good number of people we are looking at will slip. It'll be a goldmine. DL is the one to find us the gem!
 
I just feel like the following is going to happen:

#1 - Ayton
#2 - Bagley
#3 - Trae Young - it will be the first big shocker. Atlanta will do it because there are less great PG's in this draft but plenty of wings and bigs.
If ATL wants Trae, they surely will trade down.
 
I would like to see the Jazz draft Dzanan Musa & Keita Bates Diop.

I can’t believe the Jazz would draft Musa. Just something about the way he moves. I know he plays in a similar system but make no mistake about it, Musa is the star of Cedevita. He takes low percentage shots and no one blinks twice. He almost has complete offensive freedom.

He’s a confident euro crafty scorer off of the dribble and utilities floaters & euro steps around the basket. He’s also a very good catch and shoot player & utilises his size well, but not enough from midrange. The reason to me why Musa is in the draft is because he’s 6’9 can go off & can facilitate. This is why I think he’d fit in Portland. He could set up their backcourt & make their offence less predictable.

That being said, if Musa’s just been playing all this time, I’d like to see what he can achieve within a system taking higher percentage shots. If the jazz can reign Musa in they could have a very useful piece. Musa’s still only 19 which is incredible. His game needs a lot of work & if he truely believes he’s one of the best, it won’t hurt the Jazz if he pursues this goal.

My concern with Musa is his athleticism & lack of handles. I also know he’s previously had some character issues. He’s kind of a large fish in a small pond in the Croatian league.

Neither KBD or Musa are athletically the type of players I think Utah would draft, but I think their skill set would be of use in Utah.

I’m not a Jazz fan but I’d loose my $#!+ if they draft Mo Wagner or Omari Spellman 21st :)
 
Is it just me or has Locke not telegraphed our pick like he has in years past?

After taking Bradley in last year's mock, I expected that the Jazz brass had words with him. He could screw up the "game theory" for them by letting others know who the Jazz want. They could also employ him as a smoke screen generator.
