Following Potential 2018 Draftees

Just watched Drazen Musa highlights for the first time, and I have to say, those were some of the most enjoyable highlights I’ve ever seen to watch. I can’t believe he’s 6-8 and moves the way he does. I wouldn’t mind it if the jazz drafted him. He seems to have a nice range of skills. Step back, euro step, killer cross over, and range that goes forever. I just have no idea if he plays defense or not.

He plays exactly like Hood, which is good and bad.

Didn’t see anything close to resemble Hood. Musa seems to have way more advanced handles, and more wiggle when attacking, and more explosive

Hood's definitely more explosive, but I think Musa is better at attacking off 1 foot. Hood could get up when he got space.

If one could guarantee me that Troy Brown would be able to improve his shooting then I would be all in on him as the pick. Height is always good to have in the NBA, the knack for defense, passing, and being able to switch is appealing. But, his shooting is bad in college. Is it a touch thing or his lack or prime athleticism? Maybe the Jazz staff can help him like they helped Rubio.

Obviously you can't guarantee that, but his stroke is good. So with a guy like that you take a chance on the shooting stroke and hope for the best.

He's an NBA athlete for sure, still only 19. Disruptive defender who plays with high energy all the time and is pretty fast in the open floor. If the Jazz can teach him to play under control and get him to pick his spots, he could be a steal. In fact, an argument can be made that it's more feasible to teach him the game under Quin's system than it is to get Troy Brown to improve his shooting and athleticism.

If Okogie shows he can shoot well in the shooting drills and finish around the rim, he'll be high on the list. His athleticism will jump off the page.

One of the best posts on here in awhile.

I’ll defer to you on this, highlights aren’t the best way to scout someone’s game, but from what I saw, I think Musa could have a more advanced floor game, I don’t know how good a passer Musa is, but I never liked Hood’s tunnel vision when he had the ball. If we draft Musa, I hope he doesn’t have this particular trait of Hood’s.

I’ve seen variousreports of his height between 6-8/6-9, can he play sf?

I mean, Hood was a gifted passer, he just never wanted to pass.

Musa, from reports, is kind of similar. He is someone who really views himself as a dominant scorer.

And like I said, playing like Hood isnt a bad thing. He could be very good. Hood was very good at times. If Musa could be Hood, but learn to draw fouls or not be injured all the time, that is a really good player at 21.

He's tall, but he has an average wingspan. He's basically the same size as Hood from an eye test. I dont know if he has ever officially measured.
 
Just watch any Zhaire Smith highlight reel. There is close to ZERO skill displayed in any of those. Almost everything is pure, unvarnished athleticism.



^there is only one play that I can categorize as a skill play in this whole video. He's such a weird prospect.... I am having real hard time judging Smith and putting him into a mold that succeeds in the league. He needs to shoot it well for him to have a chance, otherwise he's closer to KJ McDaniels than to Mitchell as some people have been comparing him to.

Pelton's model... here are the final lists. Thanks to user u/LonzoDaVinci on reddit:

Reminds me of Russ coming out of UCLA. not much production, but incredible raw athleticism and plays hard.
