What's new

Following potential 2017 draftees...

If you're an agent and you let your 1st rd big guy work out privately for teams vs Robert Williams you're a damn fool.

Not the dude to be tested to try and make an impression.

A lot of people are coming out of the woodwork and have seen the light after yesterdays performance..
 
Amile Jefferson 2012
Chase Jeter 2016

so it's 9.. Javin DeLaurier had pretty strong case in 2016, he was a finalist.. He's really the forgotten man in all this mess. Should've played much more. At-least he's super active and athletic..

I really want to see Wake in the dance.. They might be able to pull an upset early..
If wake's guards are making shots, they could really make some noise.
 
Lets say the Jazz hit a homerun in this draft with one of the picks and let's say that player is somewhere in-between Hood and Gobert in promise (looks like a potential starter for most teams in the league)

Which type of position and skillset would that player be to best help the Jazz?

Try to stay within the confines of this specific best-case scenario convo... Interested to hear opinions.. Remember to think of next years roster so u can even pair the pick with a FA to fill another hole.. U decide on Diaw's option..

I'm not saying the player will be ready to step in from day 1 and be full effectiveness either. Some could be given mulligans on the 1st year as long as they're ready to contribute later, and eventually they turn to a promising starter
 
Watching last nights game and seeing at times how WCS was able to use his quick reactions and agility to maneuver to spots quickly and cause some issues made think about what it'd look like if the Jazz had a player like that in the mix.

I think a big who'd fit the mold well is Harry Giles. His saving grace at this point is his movement, it eases some concerns about his knee.. He IMO is one of the bigs that would benefit the most from playing next to a Rudy or Favors because they'd allow him to roam, and like WCS he gets to spots quickly.

Robert Williams is really the best option for this type of skillset but Giles is way more gettable. Motley is also very fast and gets to spots he's more of a wrecking ball than Giles though.

I would say a Wes Matthews type of player would be the ideal for me. Some one who can come in play super solid defense with out compromising offense. Who can hit the open jumper.

The reason that is first off my mind is because JJ is getting old, Ingles might have priced himself out of the jazz range unless he give the jazz a discount. Burks has struggled with the jazz system and his role.

Second choice would be tweener either a 3/4 or a 4/5 that can stretch the floor but still rebound well. That can play along side either gobert or favs.

Diaw is not that player neither is Lyles.

If I had to identify who those players are give me a little time but the second choice that interests me is cam Oliver as 4/3. My biggest concern with him is BBIQ. I think he could play an AK

Giles right now is my ideal draft

Also, I have a hard time seeing Brooklyn pass up on Giles. They took Levert who was also had a long injury history. I think they more than any other team are looking to draft pure talent if it falls to them.
