Following Potential 2018 Draftees

Been watching some tape on the UK guys

I honestly think Washington has the potential to be a good player. He has some Draymon green to his game, meaning a nastyness and motor. I will watching him closely this season. His outside shot actually looks decent also.

I would rather have drafted Richards this year then Tony Bradley last year. He again reminds me of modern day Center. Agile that can guard out on the perimeter and still block shots inside. He will be a late first rounder if not mid first.

I want to like knox because he has a great game but I don't know what it is. I wonder if maybe he just doesn't seem mature of is it his motor I don't know. He seems to have the complete package though for an NBA PF.

Jarred Vanderbilt is the one I like a lot. He sees the floor like a pg but has hops and is 6'8" unless what Dr. Jones said and he is now 6'10" and then he is even more special. I am not worried about his shooting because his form looks good.

Very well done. Impressed.
 
So it seems like Donovan Mitchell made an even wiser decision than we thought getting out of Louisville when he did.
 
Jazz's future line-up should be as below, with a new guy replacing Joe Johnson and Derrick Favors at the 4. We're looking for someone 6'8" - 6'11" with length, athleticism, shooting touch out to 3-pt range and some handle and passing.

Gobert / Bradley
New Guy replacing Joe Johnson & Derrick Favors
Hood / Ingles
Mitchell / Burks / Exum
Rubio / Exum

Unfortunately those players don't exist. They're either undersized for PF or defensive sieves (like Love)

It's okay if they're slightly undersized by PF standards. Our best line-up has Joe Johnson playing PF and he's 6'7". It's better to err on the side of less size than it is take someone who is underskilled.

Obviously, Kevin Durant, Lebron James, Kawhi Leonard, Draymond Green, etc. would fit just fine. There are several guys in this 2018 draft who could fit the bill.

There are options

It probably works in the Jazz best interest to go a little smaller at PF actually, to cover the fast 3 point shooting lineups.
I know there are highlights of a man beating Gobert and Favors coming in for the majestic help defense block, but overall being able to rotate quickly on the perimeter is probably just as useful.
 
Rodions Kurucs looks like he's getting a bit stronger and playing a bit bigger. He could be available outside the top 15 picks. I thought he could be in play for the Jazz last year at #24.
