I know you hate comps but the more I watch Kolek the more I see some Stockton in his game. He sees the floor so well. I also see it in the way he gets some steals. He also plays with a lot of moxy like stock did. Again I am not comparing him to stockton just saying that I see some of Stockton's game in him. I am about ready to hope the Jazz get him at 26 or so.

I would also like to find out if he really is 6'3". I would guess closer to 6'1" but that was stocktons height. He 3pt shot is so quick he can get that off in the NBA and some of his shots are Curry range.
 
Zach Edey would be a very interesting option in the 27-33 range. His stats (and size) are again amazing and he is so dominant on both sides within about 6 feet of the hoop, but offers absolutely nothing further away offensively or defensively. In that draft range, most players never develop. At least he has a solid niche that translates as long as he is surrounded by shooters. It would clog the middle for drives when he is in the game, but picks in that range usually aren't playing 30 minutes a game either and at least should have an NBA roll.

I wouldn't be mad at it. Id rather get Chomche or Yang in that range, but Edey is a safer pick who should be able to contribute immediate NBA minutes.
 
I have to start seriously considering Devin Carter in the lottery after the way he has been playing. Seems like a great 2-way player. Hitting almost 40% from 3 on 6.5 attempts per game. We are talking 8 bourds and 4 assists per game with a block and 1.5 steals. Turnovers need some work but at 6'3" he could be just what the Doctor ordered.

Think he's a fake shooter, but if he's there with the later picks he's someone to consider.

Definitely wouldn't go lottery on him.
 
I think Tyler Smith will probably be as good as Jabari Smith offensively. Defensively, he's not quite as sharp. Not sure if that's a player the Jazz would want, but he should be an upgrade over John Collins as a stretch big despite his rebounding numbers being a bit soft. Lauri, Hendricks and Smith would definitely space the perimeter. Hendricks could potentially add enough help defense and rebounding to make it work defensively.

Still, it would be nice if the Jazz had another guy who could really handle and pass.

Ulrich Chomche is interesting. He's got tools all over the place, but is pretty raw. The question is whether he can polish his offensive game enough to play big minutes. He's big enough that maybe he can just bully guys at the 5, but that might not be enough to make him a starter.

It feels pretty inevitable that the Jazz are going to draft Filipowski to be our new playmaking big, doesn't it? He seems to be the most skilled inside-outside big, and he'll be in our draft range.

Walker Kessler only played 17 mins. last night, and it just seems like the Jazz want more spacing for our guards to drive the ball. Filipowski can also sneak a few minutes at the 4 if the Jazz want to go to a three-big lineup like they've done in the past.

Tyrese Proctor has some redundancy with Keyonte, but in the late 1st or early 2nd I think he's a no-brainer pick. He's a slightly more natural playmaker than Keyonte, imo, he has NBA size, and he makes plays at NBA speed. He should be able to soak up quality minutes and give the Jazz more versatility, while Keyonte can focus more on scoring the ball. He'll be a real playmaker, as opposed to Sexton or Clarkson.

One of the things I like best about Tyler Smith is supposedly he has a great work ethic.
