Following Potential 2020 draftees

[SCS]

Also with all of these losses it looks like we'll probably be picking around 20 instead of in the mid 20's. So that's a positive.

Poku (the potential at least) doesn't really have an archetype imo. There's nobody his size in the league (maybe in the world) that moves like he does coming around screens and whatnot.

Ok now you've gone too far... This is simply not true and demonstrates a lack of context.. In this draft maybe, but in the world?? definitely no.

See;

Evan Mobley (projected top-5 pick in next years draft) headed to USC.
Chet Holmgren the #1 ranked player in HS class of 2021
also I have a sneaking suspicion we'll be talking about Baye Fall in the Bronny James HS class (2023) in this group soon enough..

Ty-Shon Alexander is another guy the Jazz could look at if they trade for a second round pick. 22 year old guard from Creighton. He shoots the three well on volume. He's more than a shooter too. He can a handle a little in pick and roll. He does a good job of holding defenders on his back when he gets in front and picking out a pass. Can knock down a middy. Defensively he's really smart and fiesty. He's aggressive in pick and roll defense (something we need). He's good at drawing charges. He's an explosive weakside shot blocker too. Has a chance to be a helpful player on both ends.

Ima huge Ty-Shon Alexander fan... First pointed him out here back when he was a 3-star recruit. I'm interested to see how tall he really is. Always felt like if he was an inch or 2 taller he'd get more pub. But thats just how it is for 6'3-barely 6'4ish SG's, ask Kendrick Nunn!

Even like Nate Bittle.... I think deserves mention when talking about this Poku archetype..


Is Poku really a markedly better prospect than him (Consensus top-10 recruit in the class of 2021) He's about 6'11 a really good shooter, very mobile and skinny.

I like this conversation because its about one of my favorite words. Scarcity. How scarce really is a prospect like Poku? Lets discuss

I mean, have you not heard of KD? Or if you want a non-star, Rashard Lewis?

If either Portland or Phoenix beats Dallas in their next two games, the Jazz can go ahead and blow off their last game against the Spurs and likely pick at #20. We need Indiana to pick up a win, or Philadelphia to pick up 2 more wins, in their remaining games.

The consensus top 12 guys seem to include Edwards, Ball, Wiseman, Hayes, Toppin, Avdija, Okongwu, Haliburton, Okoro, Vassell, Anthony and Williams.

Nesmith, Lewis Jr. and S. Bey would be expected to round out the top 15. At least, they wouldn't be expected to be on the board at #20.

The Jazz would probably then be choosing from among Maxey, Hampton, Pokusevski, Achiuwa, Maledon and Green.

Terry, McDaniels, Bolmaro, Smith and Reed could still be wildcards.

Those are some good options. Plus the talent available at #20 is good enough to factor into a trade to move up a few spots.

It's there a relatively slow, preferably white, guy with middling athleticism, with good "fundamentals" or who had one good shooting year? Then that's who the jazz will draft.

Who are the other jazz draft picks that fit this description? I guess in theory you could put that to Grayson Allen, but its a stretch.

The 80s just called. They want their mentality back...

Lyles, Bradley and Allen have a firm grip on that mentality.

After failing to convince the Jazz front office with my Eric Paschal/Admiral Schofield campaign last year, I’ve decided to go for Jalen Smith and Tyler Bey for guys that would realistically be in our range this year. Even saw a video on youtube titled ‘Is Tyler Bey the next Kawhi Leonard?’. I’m going to go out on a limb and assume he won’t be, but he looks interesting to me. Smith is probably the better prospect though.
