What's new

Following potential 2013 draftees

Wolters has great body control, balance and court awareness. He's actually a rare athlete in that regard. He's got some Steve Nash qualities in terms of his ability to score the ball. He's more of a multi-dimensional threat and skilled PG than Carter-Williams, tbh. My only question is whether he can play at NBA speed and deal with that level of pressure and physical play.
 
Nate Wolters finishes with 27 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals, and 8-15 shooting from the field in a win for the Summit League Championship game. South Dakota St. and Nate Wolters will be in the NCAA Tournament and by the way Wolters was the Summit League Player of the Year. Judging from this game as well he is a pretty good defender and just an all around, do it all kind of player. Fixed your quote by the way.

Love to see guys like this make the tourney.. makes it way more fun.

Ca he play in a NBA system that doesn't have him dominating the ball on a flurry of pick n rolls?

Not to mention he has a great left hand and uses it a lot.

I don't know, but he's shooting 50/40/81 as a primary offensive option. His assist numbers aren't bad. Clearly he's a better prospect that Jimmer was, which says what exactly I don't know.
 
I think Kellly Olynyck is also a bit underrated. He does things a lot of 7-footers can't do. Once he gets in the league he can get stronger and bulk up a bit. He might be an ideal big off the bench.

If the Jazz can't get Burke, I could see them wanting Olynyck and getting a PG like Wolters with their first-round picks. We have some good firepower and just need to put complementary players around them.
