Following Potential 2018 Draftees

[Miggs]

Troy Brown isn't the greatest run/jump athlete, but he's very coordinated, plays on balance and moves very fluidly for his size. These are some of the same attributes that made Hayward more athletic than he looked or based on how he tested at the Combine.

Again, look at Lance Stephenson. He's not the fastest or bounciest, but he's strong, coordinated and plays with decent body control.

Brown's standing vert was 26.0 inches. Hayward's was 30.5 inches.
Brown's max vert was 33.0 inches. Hayward's was 34.5.
Brown's 3/4 sprint was 3.33 seconds. Hayward's was 3.22 seconds.
Brown's lane agility was 11.51 seconds. Hayward's was 11.73.
Brown did 5 reps on benchpress. Hayward did 10.

Hayward tested much better at the combine than Brown.

According to a writer at SI, Huerter has been turning down workouts in the mid-20s. That's one of the factors that led SI to speculate that he has a promise with the Jazz.

I’m 99% sure we didn’t promise Huerter. He has a finger injury and likely got enough feedback that he is cool ******** down workouts.

The way DL talked in that interview they are clearly not settled on a guy yet... stated they had an “emotional” meeting about a prospect that day or the previous day.

I’m locked in on Okobo... anyone else will be a mild disappointment or I will be devastated if we take Grayson Allen or a true center.

It could be SA or Minny doe... from everything I’ve heard this is total speculation and garbage... we made a promise one time and it bit us in the ***... CJ Miles.

I’m sure we liked Huerter but I don’t think we would have promised him just to put his name in the draft.

Who?

Which would make sense....if he actually worked out here! Atlanta worked him out at 19, makes more sense they made the promise. Their GM stated they want to build their team in the mold of GS, a generic statement of course, but could figure Huerter would be their Klay.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

This is a hot take but... I don’t give one eff about athletic testing... this ain’t a track meet or strong man contest. Some of those guys train for the specific drills and you can dramatically increase your performance... I’d look at the tape and you can see when guys are deficient.

Grayson Allen for instance tested well in the lane agility and other stuff he still gets cooked on defense... so what does it matter?

I don’t think brown has traditional athleticism but he doesn’t seem deficient. I think you have to have a certain level of athleticism and he has that. May not be a huge strength but he’s good enough there.

Hayward was also 20.

Your statement had nothing to do with age though. You essentially implied Hayward had a poor combine like Brown did.

wtf is an emotional meeting?

wtf is an emotional meeting?

Not my words... I think those are the words he used... was trying to imply it was passionate but didn’t want to use heated?
