I mean I'm not an workout expert, but the stuff I picked up from following basketball is that doctors dont advise to do much weight lifting before you're 18 because it affects a growing frame/bones/body too much.

I believe that is a myth my friend... As long as the lift with proper technique and such. It may take until after their teens to pack on a ton of muscle though.
 
That Chad Ford mock had the Bucks reaching for Dejounte Murray at 10. I would have thought the Bucks would take a big, but if they want a guard its an easy phone call from Justin Zanik to swap 10 for 12 and a 2nd-rd pick.

i believe it was stuff about muscles weighing too much and putting too much stress on the skeleton while it's still growing. And that helps develop a ****ed up spine and stuff. I won't trust fitness coaches ZERO in that regard though as they're trying to make bank and help grow their economy while having little to no education.

but anyways, i can see how everybody can see how his skillset develops with his magnificent body. Age on his side as well. I just don't think he'll be selected at 3. Even though the Cs are good for surprises.

That is super old science, as in wrong.

Poeltl draft would be a home run. Jazz are in desperate need of a low post scorer. Favors has struggled at times. Gobert is just a finisher at the rim and lyles is a face up player.
 
I wouldn't have minded picking Poeltl last year in a much stronger draft and Poeltl has taken a step forward, so if he drops to 12, I'd be very happy picking him.
 
Poetl is super un-sexy, in the super long, spread the floor NBA. Its easy to envison a scenario where he drops to the Jazz, but I don't know if they would take him at 12 just to be a back-up to Gobert.
