Following Potential 2018 Draftees

Curious listening to DL on the radio on my way home from work today they things that he said the Jazz need to address in the off season. (This is not an inclusive list as I was driving)

Defense when Rudy is on the bench. Curious as Udoh and Bradley are his back ups.
Ball handling especially turnovers. Now a lot of this can be done internally
Depth for potential injuries. Staing that sprained ankles are gunna happen.
Importance of bringing back and coming to terms with him earlier rather then later
Getting more scoring

Now some of those every team needs and are just fluff but the one that stuck out the most to me is the Rudy one because it specific. I wonder if they are not huge fans of what Bradley brings to the table defensively. Udoh tyo me seemed like he was great defensively but never saw playing time in the playoffs. I was also curious because Favors seems to have been the primary back up maybe he is out the door.

Not a lot of players that I see that could be impact full in the 21 slot

Mitchell Robinson seems the best option
Chimezie Metu maybe
Jontay Porter
Austin Wiley i like a lot
Sagaba Konate

any way it was curious
Robinson or Porter the only 2 on this list I like. Wiley to much of a stiff and missed out on the year. I like Metu but not as a defensive player. He going be an offensive spark plug. Could see him as a Taj Gibson like. Hasn't around the league way longer then anyone thought
 
I was just saying what I heard the rest is speculation. I do like the Mitchell Robinson idea as he has a ton of potential. there where a lot of other options but personally I got the idea DL is not enamored with this draft and our position. He says they got lucky with the draft and Mitchell they had no idea he would be this good so quickly. He mentioned the luck of draft Rudy late in the first round and he said jokingly "Didn't i mention that walt perrin is running the draft this year."

I still like my guy Justin Jackson and think he is the perfect fit on this team.


He is an undersized 4 man. Can't play the 3. He is a 4 and 5 at best. Should of went backh to school.
 
Do the chinese frown on dunking or is he just not that athletic? At 6'8" I would expect some more emphatic punctuation on some of those wide-open layups.
 
Just draft another Mitchell and it'll work out great again. The Trey experiment didn't too good well but the Mitchell one well. :cool:

Or Donovan’s... interesting strategy.
 
An interesting player who has already worked out for the Jazz:









Maybe a second round flyer?


I don’t think he’s good but we take him end of second round to give DM the China bump in all star voting.

He looks too slow.
 
Tony Jones mentioned on the pod that the jazz really like Keita Bates-Diop... that makes sense. Combo forward, long arms, idk seems like something we’d like.


Tony also sends shout outs to Cy and says Cy is his guy... so we really can’t trust anything he says.
