Following Potential 2018 Draftees

if Utah makes the playoffs and picks in the 15-20 range (or maybe even lower), do they go with a safer pick or take the equivalent of a Tony Bradley, a player who is high risk/high reward - i.e. incredibly raw but could develop.
 
I guess giving up Hart and Thomas was high risk but with gobert the future at center hopefully for the next decade high reward is an understatement.

Best we could ever want is a solid back up for 15 to 18 minutes a game

biggest thing with porter is he looked like the worst run/jump athlete out there. its one thing to look lost, to miss shots and be rusty, but the dude couldn't get off the ground and looked slow. either he's still injured which is not good for his stock or he's just not an athlete which is not good for his stock.
 
the more i watch Mikal Bridges, the more i like his game. something about his shooting stroke - i wouldn't say its picture perfect, but damn, its a pretty jumpshot. also crazy how consistent he's been with his shooting efficiency over his three years at Nova as his usage has increased. imo, that is a really good sign going forward.

That would depend upon the supporting cast. i think with rudy anchoring the paint he could start next to him.

I know you don't like my mentioning Davis Bertans, but if we're being honest, they have some of the same strengths and weaknesses. They both are good at running the floor, shooting spot-up 3s, hitting floaters from 8-10 feet. They have some of the same physical limitations defensively and on the boards. Tillie is a better paint scorer and can finish with either hand around the rim, and he's a better and more creative passer, but it remains to be seen if he can do that against NBA bigs. Bertans has shown more shooting range.

I like Tillie and think he should be better than Jerebko, but I think we should be aiming higher for a starting 4. Id just temper expectations a bit.

How is Tony Bradley high risk or high reward?

The reports were that he could be a lottery pick if he returned to college this season. He was one of the rawer prospects in the draft, certainly not ready for NBA minutes. So definitely high risk to take him over others who probably would be able to contribute immediately. Maybe the term "project" would have been better. But I view that as high risk since so many never do develop into what draft experts thought they could. If Bradley plays next season at the level of what players picked in the 10-14 range this draft do, I'd label that as high reward since he was picked #28 based on potential, certainly not on his college stats.

I think there was one report, don't remember it being a consensus or anything. He simply would have returned to school if he was that good and it was a lock. His rookie contract would have then been three times bigger.

Would Colin sexton be a good fit in Utah?

Yes. Good Question.

Sexton + Mitchell would be crazy dynamic in transition. Especially having a C like Rudy at their backs, very good fit. U also have a ton of burst/first-step in the half court too.

they both like 6'2" but really it isnt a big deal. Sexton is very strong he's got very sturdy set of legs.

its a jackpot scenario.
 
Tony BRadley IMO does have relatively high upside, he can be more of a 2-way factor than a Channing Frye type. He's got very good hands and feet, and has some good fundamentals for footwork already, has some touch.. 7'4" wingspan and he's young, you really gotta wat til he;s about 22 or 23 to gauge his true upside.
