Simanic unless he is playing with the B team for Red Star does not play much for the Sr. team and that of course is not good for his development. Signed a long term contract with them anyway.
Following potential 2017 draftees...
- Thread starter Dr. Jones
- Start date

It has been on my mind all day of the pg woes of the jazz and I have watched a lot of video of potential picks in the late first round.
The conclusion that I have come up with is the jazz don't need a traditional pg.
What the position needs is
- the ability to initiate the offense. Not run it just get the ball up and start it.
- make the right pass and do it well. I on so tired of watching Mack throw errant passes and the player has to break form and position to get it.
- hit the 3 pt shot at a decent clip to keep defenses honest. Clutch shooting would be nice but with Hayward and hood not nessecary.
- be able to defend decently the pgs in the NBA. I know the hardest position to guard. Stay infront enough to funnel them in and fight over screens.
- big enough to rotate and defend other players and spell time at the 2
- this last is just my addition and doesn't have to be but a PG with a little size hat can post up other pgs and punish them down low. This will make them work harder and tire them out.
I still like the idea of taking a flyer on Grayson Allen and groom him as a point guard. He is kinda crazy and that is what I like. He is decent at passing and with the jazz spacing he would get a lot of open looks. He is pretty athletic and is known as a decent defender.
If he can learn to control his anger he would be a huge compliment coming off the bench.

Marques Bolden is returning, with Carter there Javin DeLaruier will get shafted for minutes, again, I don't want to see that...
It's gotta be UK.. he's said he likes the idea of playing PF next to Nick Richards. He will breeze thru his NBA showcase at UK he'd be crazy not to. (he's safe anywhere he goes, RUDY GOATBERT comps are being thrown around left and right -- I wouldn;t even use that comp, ever, tho.. )

De'Anthony Melton is the player that fits the outline your looking for because your defensive wishes are a tall task. His 3pt shot is a work in progress he's REALLY young tho.. would possibly be the youngest player in the NBA.
He also brings to the table major plus rebounding and he actually can get some crazy blocks defensively, sort of like you'll see from Hamidou Diallo on UK next year.

I swear this kid is better, more potent offensively, than Olivier Hanlan who they drafted years back..
He's going to obliterate workouts..
These are the best highlights of him. someone thew this together a week ago. CHECK IT OUT!! If they could assimilate him, he's got serious burner potential, IMO.

BTW Jaren Jackson Jr(MSU) who I've been hyping as a lottery pick in 2018 since 2016 apparently blew scouts away in the Hoops Summit practices (and he was great in the game, flying in for dunks and boards) and ESPN had him 6th in a mock today (on that doesn't coincidence with their HS recruiting rankings at all)
Also news hot off the presses from next years FR. class;
