Following Potential Draftees - 2019 (not kidding)

[Saint Cy of JFC]

A rookie big who could backup Gobert and allow Utah to get a shooter instead of bringing Derrick back at $17m...which you know is gojng to and has to happen.

The Jazz have no other goid options because
Lindsey blew the Bradley pick. He then went for a Dukie with little ceiling in a desperate attempt to get additional shooting, because he was too cheap to use the MLE. And too unimaginative to offer 1yr contracts, like other GMs started to offer.

He may as well just sell this year's pick for $3m and at least use it on a player that has shown some big league ability.

Blew the Bradley pick? If the Jazz picked Robinson he'd be in the same position as Bradley, not playing on the bench or in the G-League. Robinson puts up some stats on a tanking team. Wow. That wouldn't inform how the Jazz handled Favors.

Mitchell Robinson is a good prospect and would have been a decent pick. He's got a ways to go though. Jazz run a pretty precision offense and Robinson would probably not contribute much until his 2nd or 3rd year.

Bol Bol just declared for the nba draft, he is a top 15 prospect?

A 7'2" guy with a stress fracture in his foot is always going to be a risk. Bol would be a top-7 or 8 prospect otherwise, but the medical red flag will drop him likely into the mid-late teens, imo.

Chuma Okeke tore his ACL in the game against North Carolina. He had put up 20 and 11 up to that point and was looking like a solid first-round pick. Not sure if he'll declare, but he's still a value pick in the late first round.

I feel bad for Okeke.

I like Bol Bol, although his foot does make me think of Yao Ming.

I'm kind of high on Rui Hachimura at the moment. I think he'd fit well, with some development, and has a good chance to be available when we're picking.

 

[Miggs]

I could def get on board with Rui.

 

[stormkoopacv03]

Rui is quite high on my list too, but he'd be way gone by the time the Jazz pick. He might end up being top 15 pick, if not top 20.

 

[gandalfe]

His performance in the tourney was disappointing, he might drop.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

It looks like the Jazz will be drafting at #23. That's late for Hachimura. Two guys that intrigue me for the Jazz are Mfiondu Kabengele and Nickeil Alexander-Walker. One might be available. Louis King could be worth drafting as well.

I think it's 50-50 that the Jazz keep the pick.

Jazz would never draft him.

Terrible defender and not a good shooter.

Kind of a combo of Julius Randle and Jabari Parker, but just the average parts of both.
