Following Potential 2018 Draftees

So is everyone in the NBA an alpha then?

To make it in the league, all the players need to be a certain level of alpha. Some have it, some don't. To be an alpha at the NBA level is even more special -- combination of talent, work ethic, and desire to be great. That's what makes Rudy and alpha and Lyles not so much.

The label is just goofy to me.

could you imagine if the Jazz could get another pick in the draft in the later first round and draft both Jackson and Bridges. Length, defense and shooting ... yum.

They seem to fit exactly what the Jazz are building.

Exum - 6'6" with 7'0" wing span
Mitchell - 6'3" with 7'10" wing span
Bridges - 6'7" with 7'1" wing span
Jackson - 6'7" with 7'3" wing span
Gobert - 7'1" with a 7'8" wing span (9'7" standing reach)
Favors - 6'10" with a 7'4" wing span (9'2" standing reach)*
Bradley - 6'11" with a 7'5" wing span ( 9'5" standing reach)

*if he re-signs

That is a lot of length

Hood and Ingles both have pedestrian measurements

Burks - 6'6" with a 6'11" wing span **

** if he is still on the roster next year

What the Jazz need is a tough, athletic 6'7" - 6'9" SF with a solid motor, defense and offensive versatility. You know, someone like Gordon Hayward. Go figure.

These numbers are innacurate for Burks, Exum, and Mitchell.
 
Akot's jumper bugs me. It doesn't look like he'll be able to speed his release or shoot off the dribble with that motion. He needs his feet and shoulders to be perfectly squared the way he flings the ball. Good athlete though.

What shooter exist that doesnt need to have their feet and shoulders squared?
