Kelan Martin has some potential as an instant offense guy off the bench.

Thanks AB. That was my impression of the twins. Have you heard what their wingspan's are? Also do you consider them to be pretty athletic? Or just average in terms of athleticism?

I think I've found the guy I hope the Jazz get in the upcoming draft. It's Caleb Martin from Nevada. I hadn't seen him before this tourney, but I came away extremely impressed. He sort of reminds me of Gordon Hayward coming out of college. Both are/were... wings that played the post for...

Meant to say that I'd be hesitant if they were just squeeking by. But they're not. So yeah I think they're legit as well. But I can see why it didn't necessarily read that way.

The most encouraging aspects of this streak. The streak hasn't occurred against creampuffs at home. 7 of the 9 wins in the streak have come on the road Beat the Spurs on the road despite not having Mitchell Beat the Blazers on the road despite not having Rubio Beat the Warriors by 30 Beat both...

I watched DX's strengths video on Maker fully expecting to see a great athlete. Came away pretty disappointed. I think he's an OK athlete, but certainly not a great one.

Malcolm Brogdon

No. Rudy seems to have a bigger impact on the win-ability of a game than any other Jazz player. When Rudy's out, my expectation of winning a game goes down tremendously because our defense really suffers. If either Hayward, Favors, or Hood are out, I still feel like we have fighting chance...

Dunn, Ingram, Brice Johnson, Valentine, and Brogdon were the draft eligible players chosen to be part the Men's USA Select team that will practice with the national team. https://www.usab.com/news-events/news/2016/06/2016-usa-mens-select-team.aspx

Brogdon... on a team not loaded with 5 stars, helped lead them to a 1 seed in 2014, a 2 seed in 2015, and 1 seed in 2016 (and did it while playing in the loaded ACC). Just think he's a winner. But I don't think either will be available in the 2nd round.

Not a Valentine fan. If we're going to go with a more experienced player that we hope can come in and play right away, then I like Brogdon a lot better (I realize I'm more bullish on Brogdon than most). Just think Valentine's defense is really going to limit his effectiveness. And on a team...

I appreciate the response. I dunno about the Chris Johnson comp though. CJ has a tough time shooting. Brogdon was scoring 25 a night against ACC defenses that were keyed to stop him, and he wasn't being a ballhog while doing it. In the NBA, he won't be the first option, but teams won't be...

Someone please explain what the knock on Brogdon is besides his age. He consistently the best player on an elite ACC team over the last few years. Plays both offense and defense. Has a good size for a shooting guard. Can handle the ball some. Has a good jump shot. Moves well without the...

Hood to start and Burks to come off the bench. Mainly because I like Hood's range for spreading out the defense for the rest of the starters. I also think Burks ability to beat his guy off the dribble will help with the second team where he will probably be the main scoring threat.

He just needs to get stronger, but he's not nearly as skinny as Hayward was when he got in the league. So a couple years of an NBA weight lifting program, and some trips to P3 should fix that. In fact, with both him and Hayward both being from Indianapolis, I'd love for him to become Haywards...
