Black doesn't seem to be the level of bad shooter being mentioned. I think he projects to be passable.
2023 NBA Draft Megathread
- Thread starter Ferguson_Mellochill
- Start date
Frank and Dante had more issues than shooting and Ben was just fine without a jump shot
Jaime Jacquez is an interesting player with the last pick in the first round, especially if it's like 28/29/30.
Big Hendricks game today
What I expect the Jazz to do: take a dive in the standings and go after Cam Whitmore with their first pick, then hope they can get Wallace or Hendricks with the Minny pick. I think they'll offer the Philly pick on the trade market.

Eh, I think it's a fair question mark. Low volume shooter, low percentages, not great from the line, not great from mid range, and not the prettiest form either. There's a lot to like about him, but he does not have great indicators as a shooter.
If Taylor Hendricks measures out at 6'10" in shoes, he becomes really appealing. The question with him has been what he can do off the dribble, but if he's 6'10" he doesn't actually have to do much off the dribble. He'll just pick his spots and shoot over people like Anthony Davis does.

I've been watching UCLA a little bit and I like Jaquez, Clark, and Bailey.
When people think about "high potential" outside of the lottery they usually default to the young players that have fallen because of poor play and/or guys with excellent measurables/athleticism. But I'm not sure that's the right way to look like potential. Seems like a lot of the guys who do actually pop later in the draft are older. Bane is the recent one that comes to mind. Jacquez would probably be my pick of late first/early second guys who could pop this year.
I like his shot making ability, effort on defense, and at risk of stereotyping he does have the "sneaky" athleticism going on. He's not going to win a dunk contest, but he is a smooth leaper off of one foot.

I want Hendricks on the jazz.
He has to stand out on the wing with all the other losers...
