Following Potential 2020 draftees

I actually kinda like him... he's fluid and if he shoots it well he could be the 4/5 type guy we need to space. I'm in here.

I had a dream the jazz drafted Mannion then hired his dad, Pace to take over for KK. I woke suddenly in a cold sweat

Lol I remember having a dream (nightmare) that we drafted Sam Dekker 12th overall before that draft

If he was there I take him just so I can flip him to OKC for multiple assets.

I think he goes top 16.

Imagine a 7-foot Chandler Parsons. I'd trade up for him, tbh.

I dont care if Nnaji cant play the 4. The Jazz's are in a dire situation when it comes to the backup 5. If they think Nnaji is that dude, then I'm ok taking him. He does a lot of things I like.

I'd prefer a Bey/Woodard, but a rookie 5 probably has an easier path to minutes on this team that anyone else.

Zeke might play some 4... the shot might be good enough and he has gotten himself into amazing shape.




If we draft him DL will mention 1200 times that he plays the piano and DM plays the drums... he always latches on to weird ****... so from then on it will be the balance beam, hand pads, and he was top of the class at band camp.

If you think Jalen Smith can play at the 4, you kind of have to give the same benefit of the doubt to Nnaji. The idea is that he'd give the Jazz a big, mobile defender who can also space the floor and play backup 5. So the Jazz would bring him in to replace Derrick Favors' role. That said, it's in the same vein as Jarrell Brantley and Juwan Morgan. So the question is how much better Nnaji is going to be.

FWIW, I still think Reggie Perry is more offensively skilled than Nnaji, but the risk with Perry is that he plays defense as an afterthought. Nnaji is a disciplined defender. He'll dig in and do the dirty work that Favors used to do. He's got good size at 6'10" w/ a 7'2" wingspan.

Who will the Rockets consider now that they own #16 ?

I feel like Precious Achuwia is a decently safe answer to this question.

huh?? no... This type of categorical labeling doesnt make any sense..

 

[Game6Conley]

Its such a strange phenomenon to me, its like people want the draft board to look like Jeopardy, with your categories and then your teirs within those categories...


but this is basketball... poetry in motion as bill walton would say.... things arent black and white like that.... and certainly when your talking about pegging "Bigs" as "Mobile defenders at the 4".... seems to me a bit willy nilly, for lack of a better term.

 

[Game6Conley]

Wowww theres a bunch of reports swirling rn saying that Harden to Brooklyn is done....

Also Reggie Perry isnt near the shooter as Nnaji.
