2018 Annual JazzFanz Current Players NBA Draft

A third year player with his first non injured off season for player development and the current runner up players ROY, Ben Simmons.

He's an amazing quarterback, though he can't shoot, he has no problem forcing his way to the basket with his size and strength. I'm worried about this pick only because nobody here likes him, he's a terrific player.

And with a great quarterback, you need a great reciever, so I'm going with Clint Capela. On one end he finishes lobs and has good hands, on the other he keeps everyone away from the basket and has no problem defending the wing if forced to.

This was really tough cause there are tons of great players on the board but I'm feeling good about pairing those two.

The draft order shows One Love has a pick in between your two picks, am I missing something?
 
As much as we're all supposed to hate Simmons, he's a really good player and a great pick at this point in the draft. Having two non shooters in your starting line up may come back to haunt you though

Dang. I wanted Clint Capella.

I always thought he was pretty decent, but last season and the playoffs showed he is actually a force in the NBA. Got that Rudy Gobert defensive presence. I hate to say it, but he outplayed Rudy in that series. Sure, if they switched teams and Rudy had Harden and CP3 throwing him lobs he would have looked better offensively, but it still happened. Id still take Rudy over him, but its much closer than I would have thought a year ago. They need to stop screwing around and pay that man. And they need to play him more minutes. Its weird how they kept his minutes under 30. Thats why it was hard to see how good he really was. Maybe they did it to keep his value low too.

As far as Ben goes. I see the greatness in his passing like everyone else does, but that shooting problem and his attitude are giant red flags. I just cant ever see him becoming as great as people think he is going to be . I feel like he is another one of those stories where his star burns hot in the beginning but fades after a while when he gets figured out, his ego grows, he stops working hard, etc..

That was definitely a concern and a huge reason I held back for a while. Lots of other good players I could've gone for instead of Capela, but when it came down to it, I think they will fit really well together so long as everyone else can shoot.

Going to do two votes after this draft. The draft we did last year based on how the season went and this draft based off how we think they’ll do this year
