So Corey Maggette?

I haven't watched OSU yet so I have no idea

I would love to have a young Maggette on the jazz.

LOL’n because I was trying to think of his GD name all night last night.

Kicking myself for not remembering but nailed it.

Corey was a bucket but Sensabaugh shoots the **** out of it. Derozan with a 3 point jumper but no bounce? I worry a bit on him cuz he looks kinda smaller than his listing, the defense, and the meniscus injuries in HS... at some point you just have to look at the strengths of a dude though.

I would bet real money he’s 6’4”…..6’5” at very most.

His shot is almost automatic though but I think he gets blocked even more anywhere near the paint, since it’s already happening a lot at the NCAA level. He’s a professional scorer though, no doubt.

It was just so bad and they kept trying to force it to them… my basketball senses were appalled so I moved on immediately and will just trust experts and highlight reels on him… ain’t nobody got time for that.

It is is shocking sometimes how inept basketball coaches are. For the last 2 years when the utes backup bigs come into the game they constantly get into the post and ask for the ball even though that is not even remotely close to being a strength and the coaches do nothing about it. These are bigs that should be strictly used as screener and role men but instead they clog the paint trying to establish position.

Nothing like Maggette who was relentless at attacking the basket. Sensabaugh is truly an elite shooter at the college level.

I should clarify. He reminds me physically of Maggette and a professional scorer.

His game reminds me of Harden, offensively.

The college game is so different. There are dudes in college that just own the paint and look like peak Al Jefferson on the block but aren’t being talked about as even draftable because none of that skill translates in the modern NBA.

It’s why when I watch guys im like “okay but what could this guy do if they weren’t playing a zone and trying to post up on both sides of the paint. It’s so hard to evaluate.

It’s just so congested

There's some good passing elements to his game. Maybe it's the system or maybe his teammates kind of are bad at converting, maybe he just do it very often or a combination of all of the above but I do think he could pass like Harden and if he had a target like Lauri it could work out very well.

If we don't get one of Hawkins or Jett late lottery, it better mean we were high enough to justify George or Smith. I feel like we won't be in the highest range for the best forwards either though.
I don't see more than one of either Thompson's, Miller, Wallace, Whitmore or GG being there if we are outside the top 10. Maybe none of them

I think the Top 10 right now would probably include: Wemby, Scoot, Amen, Miller, Cam, Ausur, Walker, George, NSJ (if he's healthy), GG. That would leave guys like Black, Howard, Sensabaugh, Dick, Wallace, Whitehead, Lewis and Taylor in the 11 - 18 range. Maybe a couple of those guys kick GG out of the top 10. If you want to put Hawkins in that range too, that might make some sense.

If the Jazz don't get a pick in the top 10, I'd take a swing on Black and whichever scorer I truly believe in, whether that's Howard, Sensabaugh, Dick, Whitehead, etc. Truthfully, Sensabaugh is starting to look like he could be the next Joe Johnson. I think he could end up in the top 10.

Wait. Hardens game with Maggette body? Should probably be the number 1 pick tbh
