Brice Sensabaugh has shown a few flashes of playmaking. He's got some hidden upside if he can unlock it. He's already got a solid body and three-level scoring. Would love to see if he can become a playmaking wing in the NBA.

Do you think he is a 2 or a 3 in the nba?
 
There was a pretty big white dude taken out of creighton (I think) a while back who hung around the league for a while and bounced around a few teams who was a walking bucket but couldn't do much else at all. Anyone know who im thinking of?

Anyway, kind of what I expect from Brice.

Edit: I just remembered. Doug Mcdermot. Will brice be as good as him? Looking at Mcdermott college stats and he was way way better than brice (also played 4 years but all 4 were pretty amazing) He had 2 seasons shooting 49% from 3! averaged 26.7 point per game one year. never averaged less than 7 rebounds (one year averaged 8.2). Shot 60% from the field one year. Was bigger than brice at 6'8". Low turnover numbers.
Dude was a total stud in college and hasn't been very good in the nba, though to his credit he is still in the league (which really really surprises me.) Played for 7 teams. I doubt Brice will be as good as him.

Looking at Keyonte stats and he just scream chucker. Takes a ton of shots and doesn't make many of them, low assists, high turnovers, haven't heard much about him being a defender.

Man, the draft was going right up until the 10th pick and wallace was taken. Even then it kept going great with howard, lively, and dick going next. (three guys I didn't really want). Still had Cam, Hawkins, Bufkin, and JHS available. Then Hawkins and bufkin went back to back and messed it up. Still, I figured we would take Cam. I saw on jazzfanz we took George before it was announced in the delta center and I left before the crowd even got to hear the pick.

If you believe what the beat writers reported it wouldnt have mattered who was picked, George was 10th on the Jazz's board.
 
Man, the Whitmore fall in value killed the Jazz.

I bet no one in the top 8 wanted to trade out because the draft went from being 9 deep in star potential to 8 deep. If Whitmore's value was what it was perceived to be from tape, the pick would have had a lot more value.

Sensabaugh scored more per minute last year than McDermott as a freshman, on only slightly worse true shooting (playing in the Big East - Creighton was in the MVC until McDermott's senior senior).

And McDermott is an NBA rotation player heading into his 10th season (averaging > 20mpg for his career). If the Jazz got that at 28, it's a huge win.

Anytime you get a rotation player at 28, that's a win and I think Brice will be that in a year or two.
 
I’m coming around on the Keyonte pick. Pretty nice skill set and potentially good player at #16. Don’t mind the flier on Sensabaugh’s scoring ability at 28. It comes down to that first pick.

Hoping Hendricks is a beast, but it’s definitely a downer when the front office says that things broke exactly how they didn’t want it to happen in the top 10. Them coming out to say that makes it seem like there was basically a league wide consensus top 8, and the Jazz knew they missed out. Confirming that they liked some of my guys more than the one they got makes me wish we maneuvered up for Black or Bilal.

Jazz will score 135 per game in Summer League and I’ll be super hyped though.
 
hendricks is an A. love the pick

keyonte is a C. dont love the pick dont hate the pick. going on record to say i absoutely would have drafted cam whitmore here. keyonte will have to transorm into a point guard, learn to pass, learn what is a good and bad shot.

brice is a C. normally youd be thrilled to find a shooter at 28. but this was no ordinary draft. while GG is knuckle head his athletism is extraordinary. we missed big by not taking him at 28. brice is the height of a shooting guard and the weight of a sumo. he needs to loose 25 lbs and start taking his fitness very seriously. he cannot guard a slow turtle and he has no position in the nba until he loses enough weight to play SG. but he is undeniably one of the best shooters in this draft.
