What's new

Following 2016 potential draftees

I'm down with D Murray. I would love some exum insurance and I think we are set at the wings and bigs for the most part (Maybe we do a little something in free agency there)
 
Jonathan Tjarks has heard Jazz being high on Dejounte too:



I'm telling you, guys. Brace yourselves for Dejounte. The Locke conspiracy will be confirmed.

Like I said, I've already mentally penciled in Dejounte as the pick.

I like him quite a bit, too. He'll fit in perfectly with all the switching Snyder wants on defense. And you've gotta love the potential of this kid: physically, he's very similar to Exum, but has better ball handling. The two of them could be really fun to watch together; they just have to improve their jumpers.
 
Lets talk about Baldwin for a minute. I'm curious to hear what people think -- Is he quick and skilled enough to be a starting PG? Can he defend SGs? Is he destined to be a back-up, basically a 3rd guard? What is his "NBA skill"?

His physical profile is great. Think George Hill on HGH.

Good athleticism, good catch and shoot guy, competitive (supposedly), and young. I think he's a combo guard who can guard both positions. If you need a lot of shot creation out of your PG he may not be great, but I'm curious how he does with NBA spacing. I could see him as a really good starter or a great combo guard off the bench.
 
As far as players who might still be available when we draft: Korkmaz, D Murray, Ellenson, D Davis are the youngest. Just saw that Richardson is almost two years older than Korkmaz. Draft Express probably best site for info you want.
Zizic is in that group as well.
 
Lets talk about Baldwin for a minute. I'm curious to hear what people think --

Is he quick and skilled enough to be a starting PG?
No. He doesn't have the handle, the shiftiness and quickness to beat people off the dribble in the league IMO. He seems like a straight line driver to me, practically no wiggle whatsoever.


Can he defend SGs?
I think he can. He's pretty damn long, and seems to have good feel for contesting shots and good feet on D.

Is he destined to be a back-up, basically a 3rd guard?
I think he can be a starter in the vein of Patrick Beverley(if you have other playmakers on the floor to start in the backcourt), or a ceiling of something like George Hill, which is pretty good player(about average PG in the league) but I don't see him as anything more.
What is his "NBA skill"?

Length and the corresponding defense coming from it. Could possibly be a good shooter.
