2021 NBA Draft Preview (new thread)

Sene was projected as a prototypical big man coming into the draft. He was more of a defensive presence and you would hope that the decent post moves he had would turn into a good offensive game. He was more of a Tyson Chandler/Clint Capela type of player coming out.

I vividly remember him playing pretty good in the RMR. I don’t think a single person projected him as a outside threat at all.

I watched a segment on Sene that draft that said he had the potential to have an outside game. He was that much of an athlete that anything was possible. He was that late riser in the draft who everybody dreamed would create a total skill set to dominate the league. He was kind of like Giannis before Giannis. If he puts it all together kind of guy.

Thor is much of the same. Before the combine, not much talk of Thor going really high. After combine measurements, he might get lottery consideration. He too is not known as a shooter but "might create a decent shot". Athleticism off the charts.

One made me think of the other. Tre Mann makes me think of Trae Young. I bet that's racist too.

The most important thing you can look for in a late first round pick is work ethic.

That is why I do not like the Makers. That is why Sene never panned out.

I havent watch enough Thor to make a decision on him but the jazz need to pick a guy who is s gym rat.

Work can make the average good and the talented great.

That is what made Gobert great. You add in a competitive fire and you find a steal.

I'll be honest, I have some doubts about Thor. His reactions look a bit slow to me. I know he's a measurements darling, but I'm not sure how much of that athleticism will translate to production. I don't think he's in the same tier as Kai Jones, and I don't think he's the same level prospect as Roko Prkacin. I personally don't see him being a markedly better prospect than Greg Brown at the moment, unless you really believe his shooting will develop. You could also take Moses Wright in the 2nd round and fill nearly the same role without waiting a year or two for him to develop.

I see the upside obviously, but to me he's risky enough that he really should go in the early 2nd round like Nic Claxton did a couple years ago.

If the Jazz want another high-risk/high-reward play, Brandon Boston might be more compelling, since he could be a 3-level scorer as well as a wing defender.

I really like Boston. I think he’s a mega sleeper in this draft. We draft him right now and he’s an obvious upgrade over Niang. Potentially a replacement for Bogey.

I remember being really excited about Sene. Wanted him for Utah. Lean, athletic beast. Thor the same. Incredible ceilings. Could be total busts too.

Hey guys!! That Sene guy was a bust, he was a long athletic beast just like Thor, so he must be a bust too so let’s go with that 25 year old short white super senior from BYU Idaho he’ll never bust!!

you sound so ridiculous sometimes.

I honestly didn’t even know about Thor’s measurements and didn’t use them to inform my opinion.

It’s all from film and I love his film. He’s not a Sene at all IMO.

Please show me one guy named Thor that failed.

How do you know they dont have work ethic?

You are just saying **** without any backup proof. Google Thon Maker work ethic and you get a lot of positive results. Same with Saer Sene.

Some people just arent good enough at NBA basketball and no amount of work can change that.
 
We need the Hammer of Thor… even if he sucks it will be ironically funny… my Jazz fandom kinda needs this boost right now.
 
Tony Jones said on Chad Ford's podcast that a large contingent within the Jazz wanted to draft Jaden McDaniels. The top 4 on the Jazz's board were McDaniels, Bane, Udoka, and Tillman.

So I think it's pretty safe to say that Thor is probably high on the Jazz's board. (Jones also said he would draft Thor as his top pick at 30)
