Following Potential Draftees - 2019 (not kidding)

has anybody here watched Luka Samanic? He looks very intriguing on highlights... I have to find some full games of his to watch... will be interesting to see him in the 5-on-5s at the combine:

I've followed him a bit. He's bigger, more athletic and more fluid than Jerebko. I can't quite tell if he's a starter or not. It depends on whether he's got the competitive fire.

If he improves his shooting, he's a nice player.

There was someone here that was really high on samanic, who was it?

I've watched a little he has some upside if he works hard. Like was said if his shooting gets a little better. Seems pretty fluid for a 6'11" kid though

Reddish had great measurements that will help him even with his subpar play.

For the teams from 4-8 I'd have a hard time passing on him. I think he has the highest ceiling of those guys in that range. I think he doesn't get past Cleveland.
 
I've been too busy to follow the prospects this year, unfortunately. Any buzz about who the Jazz are interested in? My uneducated take is that we either trade out, or trade WAY up somehow (like top 7 or 8). I've heard this is a weaker draft, so all it takes is one GM who doesn't love any prospect to trade out. And if we stay put we take Dylan Windler. What're everyone else's too early predictions?

There hasn't been much mentioned other than some discussion of late first-round guys on the Jazz's radar. Dylan Windler and Jordan Nwora are two names I remember. Also, I don't think the Jazz have what it takes to move up more than a handful of spots in the draft. Maybe Grayson Allen or Tony Bradley + #23 could get the team to #17 or #16, assuming that team really likes one of those guys. I don't see how the Jazz can trade into the lottery though, and I'm not sure the talent outside the top 10 or so picks justifies trading up.

Yeah probably not. Trade out seems much more likely. Wonder if the Jazz would take a flyer on a high risk player like Bol Bol, Bazley, or some other low floor/high ceiling guy.
 
The talent in this draft really flattens out by the mid-teens. The guys in my signature are mostly late first-round, but they could easily turn out to be as good or better than guys being talked about in the lottery.
