Following Potential 2018 Draftees

This kind of sucks because I had a hunch that MPJ was fairly overrated and now I wont get to see.

I think Porter Jr. has a body that's too good to get exposed at the college level. If anything the NBA is his litmus test and we'll see anyways how he fares there. Just sucks for the teams that can't scout his progress.
 
I like Porter better than Tatum. I'd be ecstatic if we managed to get him in the draft. Injury and back surgery are a risk and would have to be responsibly evaluated, but at some point we have to make a high risk high reward decision. Otherwise we'd just continue being mediocre...

Sam Vecenie brought up an interesting scenario... he can keep teams from seeing his medicals. I think that prospects and agents would send their kids our way but maybe he won't send medicals to the Kings, Bulls, or Cavs... would guess the Mavs and Hawks would get the medicals.

When has there ever been an agent who was his player to play in Utah?

We have a pretty good rep in developing guys. It is a good basketball situation and our management is quite stable. It isn't that they would force their clients here like they would with LA or NY, but that they would be good with us picking and might not want their client in a bad organization.
 
For guys that want to party and be a part of the big market life we are obviously not the right organization. I think a guy showing a desire to be here is a good sign that he is taking his career seriously.
 
If we end up in the latter half of the lottery I think we would all enjoy the Collin Sexton experience.

5 fouls but play less minutes so it basically the same as NBA so not sure why your bitching. Maybe mad the game are not longer I suppose.

Very few top college players play less than 30 mpg, which is right around the average for a starting NBA player. Yes, less total minutes, but stars, especially for small programs, always play a huge amount of minutes. It's a very relevant thing to "bitch" about, especially since college rules have changed to be more strict on freedom of movement fouls.

College basketball just has **** rules that don't make any sense.

I don't think he is going to last past 7. He is going to be the top PG in the class, I think that is almost a sure thing.

Only scenario where he last to 7 (with current standings within realism), IMO, is if every team that needs a PG lands in the top 3. Those three teams being the Clippers, Suns, and Bulls. Then teams like Mavs (Smith), Kings (Fox), and Hawks (Schroeder) pick 4-5-6. The next team up before us would be the Cavs (Brooklyn pick), and I think they would take Sexton.

Prolly right... I like the top 8 dudes but Bamba and Jackson... and maybe Bagley are tough to fit with Gobert. If Sexton went early I would hope the Bridges fell to us.

Honestly, I could see Sexton going #2. I was really impressed. A Sexton/Mitchell backcourt would be intense.

Whoa! I think Ayton and Doncic go 1-2 and think Porter would be front runner for 3. If Sexton keeps it up though #2 not out of the question.
 
I think I will officially put Mikail Bridges over Jacob Evans. The production has been too strong not to at this point.

Do you think his jumpshot is projectable? I kind of don't trust it yet. I want to see him shoot well over larger sample... and I want him to raise his FT%

He's a very fun player to watch though... I wonder if their lack of size(Mitchell/Sexton) combo would hurt our D.

His jumper looks smooth to me. Honestly just getting to the line would be an improvement.
