Perrin also commented on Brown's shooting and made it sound like a non-issue. Raved about his versatility. Called Robinson a skinny bitch who needs to get tougher.
Following Potential 2018 Draftees
- Thread starter Dr. Jones
- Start date
Perrin said something negative about every player besides Brown and Musa.
Yeah, forgot about his Allen comment: "One of the best players to come out of Duke in years". He did hit him with the needs to learn how to play NBA defense line tho

Pure speculation, Jazz are gonna try to trade up for Miles Bridges. If that fails they'll try to trade up for Brown. If that fails and Brown doesn't fall to 21, they take Musa or Allen.
Miles Bridges fits the mold of being able to play next year as well as having very high upside. Also seems like he could be a great versatile glue guy if he doesn't turn into a star level player.

Musa is pretty exciting as a scorer tho.
I wonder how many prospects the Jazz take to dinner like they did Musa.

Yeah that was interesting that he mentioned that. I don't recall any of our writers ever tweeting about them taking a prospect out for dinner. I've seen stories about the Knicks and other teams doing it, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was very common, but still.
Also interesting, there was no Melvin Frazier segment. Seems like they got everyone else but him.
Yeah, I'm sure it happens a lot, but he's the only one Perrin brought it up about. He sounded giddy talking about him. It would make sense because Utah loved Hood when they drafted him and Musa (similar game) is light years ahead of Hood at the same age.
Over the last few weeks we've heard Perrin and Tony Jones mention that the Jazz are looking for upside and potential and aren't afraid to go young.
Musa is 19, one of the youngest players in the class.
Perrin raved about the workout today, a workout Musa was involved in. Then he goes on Sportsbeat and raves about Musa. He even brings up that they had dinner last night.
Musa love confirmed??

Yeah, he is... I wouldn't be disappointed if we draft him in a vacuum. I have him straight in our range. I would be disappointed that we didn't draft a top 10 player on my board(Okobo).
Also - worth pointing out - the Jazz took Musa out to dinner last night before his workout today. Seems like they are getting to know him. + #LockeWatch for him picking him in his mock draft. Last year, Locke telegraphed our Bradley pick by taking him with our first pick at 24 in his podcast mock, when noone had him projected in the first round... then he had the DX and ESPN guys on his podcast and told them he took him in his mock draft and they immediately followed suit and mocked him to us at 30.

I can't believe I'm warming up to Grayson Allen. Been watching some of his stuff since he had an impressive combine. I used to prefer Svi from Kansas over him because I hated him so much, but now I really do think he's gonna be a decent NBA player. I don't really want to have to root for him though :/
I just really hope Troy Brown falls to us, but it doesn't look likely that it's gonna happen. Seems like there's a pretty consensus tier that ends at around 16 or 17.

I need a long vacation after the draft if the Jazz took Grayson having seen who else is available in this deep draft.

Didn't say anything negative about Divincenzo either. Musa, Brown, Divincenzo and Okogie were the ones who stood out most to me in his breakdown. Musa stood out the most. He made it a point to make it clear the other three could defend and were two way players. Frazier was also noticeable because he was strangely absent.
Musa shoots 31.9% from European 3's...
And can't drive right.
Just saying.
