Following Potential 2020 draftees

Aleksej Pokuševski a dark horse pick for the Jazz.



The only reason I do not think he is a great fit yet is that he is about 2 years away. He is skinny and inconsistent from 3 but with some added strength and his form, i see him be a 38% 3 point shooter consistently. I think he could be a good player in the future though.

Going through more of his tape, some his shot selection is just really bad. He's throwing up jumpers in a rush without having his balance and barely looking at the rim. Not sure why that is. In Quin's system, he'd have a green light to shoot in certain situations and be able to get his rhythm. I don't know how much stock to put in tournament highlights when he was 17. It's a bit like drafting Rudy Gobert--you're going for upside.

Uhh, a lot of stock. If a player his size can't be efficient against guys in his own birth year or younger...

His physical profile and all-around game seem similar to Keith Van Horn as a Freshman/Sophomore at Utah (who would translate well to today's NBA as a perimeter big). It's hard to tell if he can guard on the perimeter at an NBA level though, since he hasn't really played against NBA athletes. A lot of his highlights are from when he was 17.

His feel for the game is pretty advanced for someone that young and that big, including his handle and passing off the dribble. His shooting has been a bit flakey, but it's projectable given that he's 78% at the line. It's just rare to see 7-footers run the floor that well, shake a defender and drill legit side-step 3s. It jumps off the screen.

He doesn't turn 19 until late December.

He also isn't a 7 footer...

The Jazz won't have a lead pipe cinch at their draft position. Why not roll the dice a little?

They have no assets to move up. they gave all those away to get conley

I know. The type of player available will be a Grayson Allen type player. Why not reach a little with the pick?

Here's a vid about Saddiq Bey's defense, which is a bit underrated.

A good player is going to fall to #21. If we can lose a few regular season games when the season resumes we can scoot by Miami, OKC and Houston in the draft order.

I am really starting to think Bolmaro is our guy. He's like a mashup of Gordon Hayward and Ricky Rubio. He plays hard. He has some international flair that will complement Donovan Mitchell's stardom. He's a Jazzman. A year from now when Conley's deal is up and Ingles is turning 34, he'll be 6'8" / 205 lbs and ready to help run the show.

Go ahead and put me on Bolmaro island if we're drafting in the 20s.

that's a deal

I am hoping the Jazz could move a little and get Bey. Love what he brings

Isn't it strange he was part of a 4-man recruiting class that got a lot of hype, and pretty much none of it was because of him, and he was the LOWEST RATED of the 4.. With Jahvon Quinerly (the only 5-star of the group) getting a bulk of the hype, and he was unplayable and immature(and since x-ferred out)...

After Quinerly Cole Swider definitely got the 2nd most hype, which i guess is understandable when your 6'9" and can shoot it like that, but still.
