What's new

2019 Draft Combine

The sample size is so small. Can’t really extrapolate anything from that IMO. My personal philosophy is that the Jazz should use 2nd round picks on the best athlete on their board. Put him on the Stars and then let your developmental staff and a TON of reps mold him into a rotational player.

I wouldn’t use a 1st round pick on him, but he should be in the conversation in the 2nd. Utah needs to take high upside players and hope they blossom.

I’d rather have Bazley. If he’s there.

From SI about Thursday's combine

"Bazley’s showing was a bit less encouraging, as there were moments where he looked somewhat lost offensively, and it was evident the year away from competitive basketball hadn’t helped him much from a feel perspective. The former McDonald’s All-American has always been a bit of a project, and he’s added some bulk to his lanky frame. But he blended in a bit and doesn’t have a calling-card skill at this stage, although the hope is that he can become a viable 3-and-D role player at some point"
 
Lecque could be the next Morant.

Bazley is just kind of an enigma to me. Not sure what he is or if he is anything at all

Both are enigmas and huge projects at this point. With that said, I’d prefer the Jazz not play it safe. Take the biggest “swing for the fence” kid at every pick and use your G-league and developmental staff to unlock their potential. TBH, I’d probably take a hard look at both of them and then slot them appropriately.

(Of course, I probably would’ve taken Anfernee Simons over Grayson Allen too.)

I actually assumed a lot of people would compare Lecque to Simons, but I didn’t like Simons last year and def am liking Lecque this year.

I think he’s more athletic and “mature” looking than Simons but Simons is longer, no?
 

Samanic is my guy at 23 until I see something better. I'd take him over Kabengele for example.

His hand pads and balance beam routine are ***... spare me the fact that he makes shots and is athletic... ain’t got time for that ****.

Simons is more of a combo/2.

Lecque is a modern athletic 1
