Following 2016 potential draftees

[Park Bites]

Why would we draft Poetl, we already have Rudy and Withey is a respectable back up C. We need someone who can defend on the wing and hit 3's, maybe be a hidden Gem and be the next Kawhi, Jimmy, or Klay.

I think that can be had through free agency easier. Fournier and batum fit that mold.

Also with favors back and posdible injuries i eould like to see the jazz draft and groom a young big.

I wouldn't draft him, but I do really like his game.

How I feel as well

His most translatable skill is as a one-on-one defender, he can guard SG's and SF's already. Thats' why I've been comparing him to Sefolosha for a year now.. Tim has quick enough feet where you could put him on a PG (Like how Sefolosha used to guard CP3) if needed.. IMO they could've used him vs Deron in that first half, he'd have done a markedly better job than anyone the Jazz threw at him


Also he'll be very dangerous in the open court, that'll translate smoothly.. He's a legit NBA athlete, I'd say a few notches above average..

I like him a lot and think he'd be the best fit for us. Dante is a good on ball defender at the wing and I think adding Tim would provide tremendous wing pressure to go with our interior behemoths.

I think thabo is a good comp but I think Tim is more athletic and will have more offense. I like him better than Jaylen Brown personally. If he turns out similar to Thabo tha t is a good pick at 12.

Fournier is a RFA. He will be nearly impossible to get unless you want to max him, which would be a mistake.

Batum is a bad fit.

Got it, didnt read all the way through.

As if they teach you how to read in Mississippi.

If his standing reach really is 9'5½" as he measured recently in the Canadian Biosteel All-star game, he's going to be a lottery pick IMO.

Bigger Andray Blatche with a muuch better head on his shoulders.

Do we really trust Canadians to measure in feet and inches accurately?

Well he might not be far off.. that the thing.. and the taller his standing reach is, helps alleviate some of the concerns about his narrow frame, especially as it pertains to the Jazz roster(and playing next to Lyles), Thon could function as almost a Porzingis sized player...

Oshae Brissett measured 6'9" IIRC which is tall, but he could've grown.. so possibly.. Justin Jackson measured ¾" taller in shoes there then he did at the hoops summit last week, but his wingspan and standing reach were identical..

0:38-1:01 does that look like someone almost as big as Gobert??

The best example might be at 1:09 actually as he dunks off a putback. If you freeze frame you can see how little lift he actually needs. So it could very well be accurate. He will truly be a workout monster.

If we maxed founier while having hood, Burks, and hayward already on the roster, I might kill myself

If those measurements are true, when he really fills out to like 245 he's gonna look big standing next to Karl Towns.. .. This is someone the Jazz might want to keep around, he might be a good matchup vs GS and teams that like to play small too.. He seamlessly fits next to Gobert and Favors.. and If he's got a 9'5" standing reach and puts on some weight Lyles, it also means (as I previously suspected) that he's a much better prospect than Frank Kaminsky.

He'd showcase well in Utah IMO, like a giant Detlef Schrempf(-passing, +shotblocking). he'd look as agile as a ballerina playing on the same court as Gobert..

These measurements could affect my thoughts on Thon vs Skal.. Can't wait to hear the noise from workouts..

His brother Matur is a legit 6'10 and Thon towers over him..

Wait did I miss something and Thon got cleared to enter the draft?
