Let them have him. I don't want him and it doesn't seem like his teammates do either.
Following Potential 2018 Draftees
- Thread starter Dr. Jones
- Start date
Let them have him. I don't want him and it doesn't seem like his teammates do either.
According to Tony Jones:
Five safe bets
Grayson Allen, 6-foot-5 shooting guard, Duke
Strengths: Very good athlete who was a four-year player at Duke. Has been great on the pre-draft workout circuit
Keita Bates-Diop, 6-foot-8 small forward, Ohio State
Strengths: Improved immensely in college. Can play either forward spot. Is a good shooter and defender
Chandler Hutchison, 6-foot-7 shooting guard, Boise State
Strengths: One of the better scorers in the draft. Can get buckets from all three levels, and has nice size for a shooting guard
Jalen Brunson, 6-foot-2 point guard, Villanova
Strengths: Much like his father, Rick, Jalen will probably be a 10-year NBA player. He compares favorably to Toronto point guard Fred Van Vleet
Jerome Robinson, 6-foot-5 shooting guard, Boston College
Strengths: Pure scorer who would fit with the Jazz almost perfectly. He started the pre-draft process as a relative unknown. Now? Don’t be shocked if he is picked in the lottery
Five upside picks
Troy Brown, 6-foot-7 shooting guard, Oregon
Strengths: Will be 18 on draft night. Can play and guard three positions. Shooting has to get a lot better. But, has the potential to be a standout defender
Donte DiVencenzo, 6-foot-5 shooting guard, Villanova
Strengths: Could be the prospect who plays right away, but has upside. Just scratching the surface of his potential. Can play and defend both guard spots. Is a high-level athlete and scorer
Kevin Huerter, 6-foot-7 shooting guard, Maryland
Strengths: Terrific shooter, one of the best in the draft. And is more than a shooter offensively. Is still growing into his body. Has a chance to be a significant offensive talent
De’Anthony Melton, 6-foot-3 shooting guard, USC
Strengths: A high-octane athlete. He’s a sleeper first-round pick. If he becomes a better shooter, watch out. The rest of the skill set is there
Zhaire Smith, 6-foot-5 shooting guard, Texas Tech
Strengths: Is perhaps the best athlete in the draft. He’s such a good athlete that he may go in the lottery, despite the rest of his game needing a ton of development.

I would take him at 52.
He honestly wouldnt be talked about if he didnt have his last name. I would not consider drafting him.

I also heard Orlando giving him that same promise too, maybe at 41? But yeah, I'd be on board to in drafting Kostas as well. I mean, DL was there scoping him out too. You can see him in Kostas's workout video.

What would it take to move to 17
A trade
Holy ****. Who made that?

Idk, I just know they can get more than 2 bench players and 2 meh picks. Wiggins is only 23 years old and has averaged 20 PPG for his career. He's just a few years older than some of the prospects in this class. Someone would be willing to take a chance on him and give Minny a solid trade offer.
Tony Jones is giving me heartburn mentioning some of these names.
He's a few years older than most of the guys in the draft, and a few months older than a few of them.
The Jazz are in a place where they have to be savvy about where they find their talent, and I wonder if they are the team that should take that chance.
If what he's lacking is inspiration, the best damned culture and coaching staff in the league could work some magic.
