Following potential 2017 draftees...

He kind of make Lyles look like a klutz.

You gotta give him at least one more year. This is the most important offseason of his life, it'll be very telling what comes of it.

Trey has better instincts, he's just got consistency issues, as most young players do. His tale is far from over. All he needs to do is hone that 3pt shot and he's got nothing to worry about all the haters will look like idiots and eat crow for doubting him, if his shot proves to be unreliable then the haters will be proven right, at least for this initial stint on the rookie deal.

Giles would be a steal, it would be incredibly fortuitous for him to fall in their laps for a great number of reasons.. He will find a niche and be great in his role.

He doesn't need to be great at anything, he's got the potential to be pretty good on both sides of the ball, which is worth a ton. He's got a sharp mind, and some pretty badass tools at his disposal, his best being his quickness, anticipation and his hand-eye coordination. I refuse to believe were watching the beginning of the end of Harry Giles, I think its more like just the opening act. I trust his instincts.

So who do you compare him to? Who do you compare his impact in the league to?

This is about to become the most popular thread on the site. Got to love the draft and all of what comes with it.

Popular right up until Lindsey trades three picks and Lyles for Jerad Bayless.

Its tough because with bigs theres much more of a scarcity factor. So many players are either offensive or defensive players, or rebounders, and Harry is a little bit of everything.. Impact is something that has to do with team fit and development, thats beyond what I'm prepared to try and answer at this point in the process. As it pertains to Utah I do think his impact could be some insurance for if Favors walks... We're talking about hands-down one of the most volatile and polarizing players in this draft, for certain. He shows flashes. Thats still the Harry Giles I've been watching for years, I'm not yet convinced he's truly damaged goods.

Who do i compare him to? Pascal Siakam. There's a big time age difference tho, Siakam just turned 24 after his rookie season. So there's some incongruence, no comparison is truly perfect anyways, anyone who says that reveals themselves as completely full of **** quite quickly.

We need a guy who can provide energy, hustle play and toughness. Jordan Bell is a pretty good candidate.

He can provide that for sure (isn't that what Bolomboy's for tho?), I'm pretty sure the Jazz let Rudy do that **** tho and then they fill in bigger peices to the puzzle, rathr than giving Rudy reinforcements beyond Favors...

What do you make of Mathias Lessort in comparison?

His high school mix tape has shades of a young Chris Bosh, but he didn't show near that athleticism at Duke.

I thought Bell might be the Trevor Booker of this draft.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

So yeah, he looked quite awesome in high school...

Trevor Booker was a surefire 1st rd pick tho. It;s easy to write him off and regale him to "hustle player" but thats the truth, he's got a 1st rd pedigree.

In the context of this draft, Bell is certainly not that..

This team is loaded with SOFT, SLOW and OLD players. That's why we are only good at playing at a slow pace. It's time to change that.

It's interesting U say Chris Bosh. there's certainly SOME parallels. I'm not sure if people really remember Bosh at Georgia Tech and furthermore his HS days, which to me proved beyond the shadow of a doubt - that he was a winner, and played winning basketball.

Now thats a very tall order to put on Harry, Bosh's outside touch is far greater. There's some real parallels there for sure tho.
