If he's truly grown an inch, they would be dumb to trade him..


Are there like rumors that he's good in practice or is it the opposite?

No idea about practice.

Why would it be dumb to trade him if he's only ever going to be a backup to Gobert? Backup 5's are easy to find imo. But if trading him helps us move up say three to five spots and land one of the Bridges or something, don't we have to do it?

It'd be dumb to trade him because they'd be cashing out too early.. give him 2 more years, then trade him -- the haul will be much greater.. He just turned 20..

I have actually always sworn by the strategy of taking another C and developing him to be traded years later, thats a legit "luxury pick" strategy... It's the best position to do that sort of thing with IMO.. Especially if he can block shots, cuz what he can do on offense with his touch and footwork.. He's got potential for a big-money skillset....
 
I don't see them trading Bradley, unless they can move up 10 spots or something. The Jazz did cash out too early on Lyles, as we saw. We got Mitchell so it's easily forgotten, but Lyles made a huge jump year 2 to 3.

First pointed this kid out here when DX had him rated like the 20th best international prospect born in 1997. He's worked his way into the conversation for Utah to take him in the 2nd rd.

Cy was a believer last year on him and I think he could be a steal in the second round

We cashed out too early on Lyles? Lol. The kid still stinks on defense and he helped us move up to get Mitchell. I'd hardly say we cashed out too early.

Okobo's good enough to be selected by the Jazz in the 2nd rd. He might be somewhere close to Devonte Graham (who i've hyped here since HS) in value.

He's got a deft touch with that left hand..
 
I know this is sacrilege but I kind of like how grayson Allen has been playing in the tournament. They have him playing PG a lot and he is doing well getting the ball where it needs to go. I wouldn't draft him until the mid to late 20s but you could do a lot worse in this draft.
 
Okay, I'm gonna bust out a major sleeper here.

Mike Daum from South Dakota State. He's a (to me it looks like long) 6'9" who was 14th in the nation in rebounding (10.3 per) and shot 42.5% from 3 on 6.5 attempts per game. He's shot over 40% from 3 all three years actually and according to DX has a vasty variety of ways of scoring. Looking at highlights (do you really think I saw this kid play?), he looks like he has decent foot speed too and could play the 4...probably not in small ball but we'd have Jae and others. He sucks on d but whatevs.

I saw him play in the NCAAs in Boise. He could benefit from another year in college or the DLeague. He would be the 1st NBA player from Kimball, Neb
