If we get JHS with our first pick, I am Bo Jackson-ing the TV.

If we get JHS with our first pick I will post so much and be unbearable and fight everyone... just a repeat of the Udoka pick basically... then I will be really ornery and watch 82 effing games like an absolute sissy.

Don't make me do this Jazz.

Seriously... whoever we pick I will be happy or sad on the night but then throw my support behind them and hope like hell to be right... or wrong.

He was healthy enough to play and he still had the occasional good game. I'm sure he was hampered, but he still shot terribly. I don't think him being a good NBA shooter is written in stone is all I'm saying.

He had a 4 game stretch where he couldn't make anything. I'm not sure if that's when he was hurt or not, or what was going on. Without that stretch he would have shot 42% from the 3. You could probably do that for a lot of guys, so I'm definitely not saying he's a 42% 3pt shooter, but just goes to show how little it takes to tank your college shooting percentages.

He has had multiple games of 5+ 3's made, which makes me think he could be pretty good. I think his shot looks good, but his FT% maybe is indicating that he might just be average. Although FT% isn't exactly a perfect indicator.

I think he will be good, but would agree it's not a given. I think at worst he's a guy you have to guard on the perimeter.

Mid range percentage is like 59% iirc which is a good indicator.

Only functional though compared to Blacks elite size at the 1 …

What? I sincerely don't know what you are trying to say here.

What I meant by functionally athletic is the indicators like stocks, rim finishing, etc. show he's one of the most functionally athletic guys in the draft. He also took some of the toughest shots of the draft class and made a good percentage of them. Or you can just watch him play and see how he guards the other team's best player 1-3 and know he's got good functional size and athleticism.

Early in the season watching a game he had a burst of activity that he did like 5-6 things in a 90 second span that I was like... oh ****. Kinda like some of the stints Jimmy has where he gets a steal... hits a shot... gets a contested rebound... tips a pass. I think he is athletic and smart. Then he would have long stretches where he is kind of invisible.

I like those three guys (wallace/Bufkin/Black) a lot. With JHS I'm not a big fan... but I can see why some are... you have to squint a little and assume some things change.
 
I would love a JHS/Bufkin draft and take a Jaquez/OMP/Sidy/Rupert/GG/Howard/Strawther/Walsh/Klintman at 28.

I have to admit, and this is not a comp, that the way JHS gets his shot off on the elbows reminds me a lot of the way Chris Paul does it. (Not a comp just an observation)

Yup, he has a lot of control and pace to his game, then you add in he's nearly pushing 6'6 in shoes with a high release and the ability to shoot off the dribble, he's potentially a very dangerous offensive player.
