Following Potential 2026 Draftees

AJ plays at 7 Utah time today
 
Watching Louisville, Cy makes a good point about Mikel Brown. Same archetype, similar player to Key. And Key is getting to a point where we may be saying just about any prospect would be lucky to reach Key’s level.

He’s not the guy for the jazz. Jazz need to swing for another long wing/forward prospect. Even if Ace is him, you need another.

Mikel Brown is worth drafting if you're the Jazz, imo. He can be the primary ball handler and move Keyonte into a secondary creator role when they're on the floor together. Physically if he can fill out a bit in a year or two and make the effort, he should be able to guard 1 - 3, a bit similar to Nickeil Alexander-Walker. The main question with him should be what his athleticism looks like at the NBA level--is he going to be able to get by defenders on offense and stay in front on defense? He has star potential if his athleticism is good enough.

I think the Jazz are probably in good shape if they draft top 6. That's the top 4, plus Ament and Brown. If the Jazz slip beyond that, they're looking to hit on someone with upside, but more risk--e.g., Peat, Neo, Tounde, etc.

Adding someone with an athletic profile and physical presence would be a nice complement to Keyonte, Ace and Lauri, who play from the perimeter.

About that athleticism question...

AJ had a great first half. I think he has 16 at the half on something like 7-9 shooting (isn't getting any whistles and isn't needing them. Im not certain on his shooting or point total cause I didn't look it up but he has been very efficient)
Hitting the three ball, monster dunks in transition, mid range post up fades, post up pump fake reverse pivot spins.... Showing the big bag he has.
Blocked a three point attempt. Nifty passes for assists.
Doing a bit of everything.
