Following potential 2017 draftees...

It's going to be interesting to see how these bigs -- Allen, Patton, Collins (Wake Forest) and Anigbogu measure out physically and athletically. Some of them are very close. It's going to be beauty in the eye of the beholder. Bam Adebayo too.

It's exciting to see a guy who can block shots and run rim to rim (see Lucas 'Bebe' Nogueira), but that doesn't happen in games as much as having to start out on the floor, handle the ball, make reads, attack with more than one move, make a pass, catch in traffic, etc., and Allen seems to be the most raw of the group in those respects.

Nah. One day, maybe. If i needed somebody to go out and get me 20 today, it would be Collins.

Collins is the most offensively skilled big in the draft.

Sorry, I was talking about John Collins from Wake.

Markannen going to average 10 ppg his rookie year.

Collins probably wont even play that much his rookie year.

The big who is most likely to score 20pts (in a game) out the gate is probably Swanigan, no?

Mitchell > Kennard

I have watched a lot of Mitchell today and I am not sold on him. He is a high usage type of player and the jazz don't need a high usage player on their roster right now. I would take Kennard just because he is a better fit. I know those are dangerous words but this is not like drafting Sam Bowie over Michael Jordan. This is a mid 20s pick and things are a lot muddier.

A few of them we aren't gonna learn much from in measurements. I can probably peg Anigbogu's measurements and testing #'s right now.

Jarrett Allen too.

Players like Patton, Zach and John Collins, TJ Leaf, and Cam Oliver seem to have much more on the line.

No. It's far-and-away Markkanen. All he needs to do is hit a few 3's..

Is Allen considered the best defensive big?

I'm not sold either. 2-1 assist to turnover ratio. Not a great playmaker. He seems like an undersized two guard.
