Following Potential 2025 Draftees

Outside the lottery, this draft isn't very compelling, imo.

Flagg, Harper, Ace, Tre, VJ, Fears, Kon, Queen, Essengue, Maluach, Kasparas, Bryant, CMB, maybe McNeeley....then I start to lose interest.
 
Would SDL be college eligible? What are the rules for being an overseas pro then going to college? Is it an age, money paid, or games played thing?
 
It struck me watching the past two seasons that our young players don't seem to possess a lot of basketball smarts. Maybe they will out grow this with the game experience but maybe the Jazz should be looking to older players with their later draft picks, maybe guys that are coach's kids. Just my $.02.

The Jazz lack playmaking and quick decision-making. That’s why Collier took over the starting backcourt job. We have a bunch of guys standing around waiting for someone else to create opportunities for them.
 
Both Rasheer Fleming and Joan Beringer are good defensive complements for Filipowski, whom the Jazz probably believe in long-term. Both can also play next to Hendricks.

Let's assume that within a couple years Flip can get you around 18/9/3 with three or more 3PMs a night. If that's the case, he'll get 30 mpg. (John Collins was 19/8/2 this year in 30 mpg.)

So (according to this aggregation)?:

Great #1
Very good #2
Iffy, but high potential #3-4 (and maybe draft sites like Ace better than some teams do)
Big mess of crapshoots #5-rest of lottery (with Tre holding a somewhat better floor than the rest)

I think the reason the Jazz turnovers are so high because they played the youngest most inexperienced roster in the NBA.

If you want to argue that Collier, Keyonte and Brice are inexperienced playmakers rather than limited playmakers (because they're young), I suppose you can. In the case of Clarkson, Sexton, Collins and Lauri having low assist-to-turnover ratios and low assist numbers in general, you can't.

Either way, the Jazz lack effective playmakers and get shut down by solid, switching defenses. They're one of the worst playmaking teams in the league.

That was the reason for my post that the young guys didn't seem to have a lot of basketball smarts. Some of it was "I think I'll dribble into the double team", or "The other team is playing zone, I'll run the man to man offense now."

They lack a primary option, not playmaking.
