2019 Annual JazzFanz Current Players NBA Draft

[Coach Ellis]

I’m stoked though, there’s two guys left that I have to have. I’m getting one of them

You’re OTC.

I’m curious to see who you pick.

I have an idea of who I think it might be, so I’m interested in seeing if I have it predicted correctly.

I love Donovan, but him going over Gobert is pretty bad.

Homerism and playing for the stands will always be there for a bunch of Jazz players to get picked early. Wait and see how high Jingles will get picked.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Obvious pick here imo

I think so too, but I’ve already been surprised by a couple of the players selected. . . and we’re only 10 picks into it.

Embiids efficiency is also a downside. 48% from the field for a center is bad and 30% from 3.

That ignores 10 free throws per game made at 80%. How many players give you .593 TS% and >27 PPG?

It is easier for low usage players to get higher FG%

No brainer here. I’m going with last years mvp candidate Paul George. Had his best season last year, and should love playing with Leonard.

No I don't ignore the free throws. The free throws are great. Yet the field goal percentage, 3 point percentage and efg are still poor. He has poor efficiency in overall field goals, 3 pointers, and efg AND gets to the line a lot and makes a good percentage from the line. All those things can be true at the same time.

I meant that the FG% ignores free throws, there are better metrics.

High usage Centers usually have lower efficiency. 2019 Embiid's TS% last year was above Shaq and Hakeem's career average, about the same as Jabbar.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Not who I was talking about but good pick.

That was actually exactly who I was thinking he’d pick. I had PG13 above Embiid and Mitchell on my value board as well. Think he’s going to be great in LA.

Again, I agree that he has good true shooting percentage due to those free throws.
I was simply pointing out that be has more of a weakness than just health.
Shaq has a weakness too. Doesn't mean he wasn't awesome

^^^ That is who I was talking about.

I tried very hard to talk myself into the Joker, but couldn’t pass up PG’s shooting and defense and position versatility.
