Here is a nice video as well. One of the more impressive two way performances of the year.

There are like 2-3 guys in this draft that may win the Jaime Jacquez "Of Course This Guy is Good" Award which is given to the player that is obviously good and you feel dumb when you pass on him (as a GM) because he was an upper classmen or had some stuff to his game that is a little weird or whatever. Desmond Bane would be another guy...

Not sure which guy it will be this year and Carter may go higher than I think... but he is certainly a candidate for the award.

His 3pt shot looks real to me. He's taking almost 7 per game and his percentages have been pretty consistent all year.

I wish we could have seen him play in the tournament.

Interesting. The shot kind of terrifies me. Unique shot w/ extreme arc combined with the fact he was a terrible shooter the past two seasons.

Yeah, I get it, and sometimes his misses are bad, which is a red flag to me.

I could be wrong, but it feels like it would be difficult to put up that type of volume and it not be pretty real. He's also not getting wide open looks either. He's usually well guarded as the best player on his team.

He's definitely getting a lot of love. I cant say I've watched much at all.

I think he ends up somewhere in the middle of our two picks. Maybe we can use our two late picks to move up?

Not sure if someone wants two picks but there will be opportunities to move up. Not sure he'd be the one I target in a trade up scenario for us.
 
Here is my Jazz related strategy for the draft right now.

- with limited upside guys, and without huge separation in talent, I'm ok with drafting for need.
- no defensively limited guards.
- we need wings
- no Centers, unless it's Sarr
- ok with older players if we are keeping Lauri
 
SoberasHotRod said:
Agreed, I'm not nearly ready to have a strong opinion on what we should do with our late picks, but if we are going to target someone, we desperately need wings.

I think Miami and Phoenix at spots 16 and 18 currently are prime spots that may be looking to move back and collect assets. Partly for tax reasons. Partly to get some lesser assets that can be used later.
