Sensabaugh is a kid I will keep a close eye on. Was high on my board. I’m predicting he’ll be the first among our drafted kids to get bigger minutes down the road. The guy is a natural scorer, deadly from the mid range and can shoot 3s too. Some were concerned about his weight. This is not an issue for me at all because he’ll drop it to where it should be.

I’m not worried about the weight, just his health. His knees have been an issue since high school. If he can overcome that, then I think he’ll have a chance to be pretty good. If not, well. . . as much as I like the kid, I would’ve drafted somebody else instead because of the injury issue. I’d rather be proven wrong.

Weight is very much part of the health of his knees

I mean more that I think he’s a solid kid with a good work ethic and being in an NBA strength and training program will help him get to his optimal playing weight.

Someone should tell the Jazz training staff. They may not be aware.
For him it strictly comes down to health. He already has an elite nba skillset which is shooting the ball from everywhere. He has as clean and consistent of a shooting stroke as you will ever see. In the nba I think he is probably best off longterm limiting his game to more a spot up shot to limit the wear and tear on his legs. He can be an elite spot up shooter that gets 20 minutes a game and has a decent length nba career. He is capable of being far more than a spot up shooter but I think the bigger the role you give him the sooner his legs will breakdown. The question then comes down to if you want a far more impactful player for 4 years and then possibly done or a solid specialist guy that can be a consistent contributor for 10 years.
Weight and health are deeply correlated and demonstrably causative. Furthermore, weight/health rely a lot on him being able to use his legs. Meniscus injuries are the most chronic you will find, especially if his interventions have been to just keep scooping out damaged tissue because that tissue doesn’t really recover.
Anyone who isn’t freaked out by the information we already have access to better just be taking the position of “Meh, it’s a worthy swing at 28 that has strong odds of missing.”
I think there were a lot of good talents on the board and another swing that has a better NBA body by orders of magnitude that I would’ve easily taken over him.
TLDR; I think drafting a dude anywhere in the first round who by all indications is gonna be bone on bone if he isn’t already is a bad bet.

Well I was wrong about Keyonte but hopefully end up being right about Brice.

Dude can be our next Wes Matthews (a bit less lateral moves on D probably).
Sensabaugh looks like Paul Pierce in the G-League.

Could be a better pick ( or faster ready) than Hendricks. Hope he got some good mins during the season.
I've been a Brice fan since I watched his OSU highlight video on draft day. To me he stood out of our three guys.

Sensabaugh has Cam Thomas written all over him. Of course Cam Thomas has Vinnie Johnson (Microwave) written all over him. At #28 gotta be in contention for "Steal of the Draft".
