Following Potential 2018 Draftees

[Miggs]

There is 0 reason to think of positions so rigidly other than the 5 w/ regards to Utah's system.

And yet you yourself said we need a 3/4 within the last week or two.

Anyone have him mocked in the top 40? I could see a Kuzma like draft board rise.

I doubt he comes out this year.

Just look at his stats progression. Its very close to Kuz's first two years, but he is younger cuz he didn't redshirt like Kuz did.

Very similarly sized. Similar athletically, but I think he is a bit more explosive/powerful and Kuz is more nimble. Play styles are similar. Both overlooked cuz they play for schools no one really cares about.

Yeah, 3/4 being the key statement. Im saying they need players who can be positionally fluid.

His 3-pt percentage is higher than Kyle's and the stroke looks really good. DL go make him a promise in the second round and show him how you turned an alcoholic electrician into a demi-god (referring to the great Joe Ingles).

I feel a potential NBA lotto conspiracy coming. NBA hates tanking, so they rig the lotto and have one of the 13-14th place teams win the lotto to see... look tanking doesn't work.

So even if we don't make the playoffs we winning the lotto.

Very interested to see how Zhaire Smith measures out.

I'm not convinced Jontay Porter is a top-20 pick yet, but he looks like he could be a legit stretch big who can play some minutes at the 5. His mobility isn't great, but it should be enough to guard in space without getting killed. His rebounds are okay for a big that plays away from the rim. He should be able to improve his athleticism. He's got a compact lefty stroke on his jumper that looks consistent. He's shooting around 35% from 3pt right now with a 77% FT%.

Seems like he'd replace a lot of what Trey Lyles was supposed to give us.

See if Cleveland's Brooklyn pick lands in the top 3. It will either entice Lebron to stay, make a good trade asset, or help the Cavs survive if they lose him.
