Following Potential Draftees - 2019 (not kidding)

@Catchall much appreciated with the updates. Thank you!

The 'right' guy for the Jazz to draft at #23 is Jordan Nwora, imo. He's the right mix of talent, fit for team need, and risk/reward. If someone else slips in the draft or we can trade up, then great, but Nwora at #23 should be about the median outcome. If we can get another pick at the end of the first round or early second to swing for upside on a guy like Bazley, we should do that too. The higher upside plays would be Horton-Tucker or Bazely since they can create for themselves in isolation (and they're super young).

Enough of these middling Tony Bradely and Grayson Allen-type picks. We can always get free agents to be 7-10 guys in our rotation.

This is what Bazley looks like running in circles, not that it's helpful. He's 6'9", 208 lbs, 7' wingspan, with a quick first step.

Jordan Nwora didn't do the athletic testing on Day 2. I'm concerned he may have a promise in the first round as well.

No one is promising Nwora in the first round...

Quinndary Weatherspoon with a 2nd round pick. Cool name.

There's a strong rumor that OKC has promised Matisse Thybulle at #21. He pulled out of the Combine on the 2nd day.

Wonder if Roberson is still a long way away from returning

My favorite name in this draft has to be Admiral Schofield. He should show up to the NBA draft uninvited with a pipe and monocle.

Or a Star Trek uniform. Eh...

Nwora is strongly meh for me.

Early in this process I’m looking at mega high upside/could be huge busts type guys.

I fully agree with the Bradley and Allen’s can be found all day though.

 

[Bodhi]

Consensus is Lecque is a second rounder?

I’ve watched like 8-10 dudes so far and I really like his upside.

Kabengele and Alexander-Walker are early favs too. Alexander-Walker has a lot of “it” going on.

I wouldn't be surprised if Luka Samanic, Dylan Windler and Jordan Bone are three guys high on the Jazz board after the combine. All three tested well. And the Jazz have a history recently of taking guys who tested well at the combine.

I'm imagining him in a Star Trek outfit and it's epic.
