Following 2016 potential draftees

With Skal's stock slipping (ESPN has him at #10 and DX has him at #6), I wonder what it would take to trade up for him? Would a package of Lyles and picks be enough? I still like Skal's potential.

It would be sick if the JAzz could get Isaiah Hartenstein somehow in 2017, born in '98 so he's not eligible this year.

I'd kinda equate it to if they coulda got Zingus in 2014... The frontcourt would be at an advantage basically every game..... Hartenstein is like... a freak of nature.. I've seen him play a handful of full games and he just does these incredibly athletic finishes near the rim, stuff that you wanna rewind and see again, stuff that that will always produce a 'wow' from me.. He makes tough plays look effortless, there's something kinda special about this player..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnfdkQVqqR8 He just won the MVP of this adidas next gen tournament, footage was uploaded yesterday.

DX already has him mocked #7 in 2017 though, will take a great deal of luck.. He's a better prospect than Henry Ellenson, who I've got 5th in this draft currently, he's bigger, more athletic, which is really saying something because Ellenson is remarkably fluid -- Hartenstein is so athletic he can play SF, and that's the big key for Utah..

This video claims he's 7' too.. It's certainly possible, he's at least 6'11" with a 7'3" wingspan, and he's jacked for someone that size/age/skill-level


He's extremely athletic, definetly shows great balance, and feel for how to get buckets, he kind of reminds me of a much bigger/more badass version of Antoine Walker... He's a bit of a black hole, that's not an issue though at his age and talent level.

Hartenstein has the talent and skillset where the Jazz could use him all over the court. You can give him the ball with the shotclock going down, and he can get a good look at the basket, he can shoot, he's phenomenal at driving the ball, He can split minutes between SF and PF -- This is the giant combo forward we've been asking for -- He's got a ton of Killer instinct too, i'm sure of that, he's definitely supremely confident.

He is left-handed too. He could be impossible to guard for opposing PF's.

Here are his stats from the Next Gen Tournament:

24 points 11 reb 3 blocks 3 assists 2 steals. Not to shabby. Guy to look out for as a potential Jazzman in the 2017 DRAFT. Hope he does not sign a long term contract in Europe with no NBA outs.
 
What about Bennie Boatwright from USC? 6-10 stretch 4. Having a really solid Freshman year and I havent seen him talked about in any current or future drafts.

He deserves a bump in the mocks after that game yesterday. Wade Baldwin's getting knocked down a few spots, Ulis had him playing way too cautious, and he still made a bunch of turnovers..

In the 7 games in January, Ulis is averaging;
19pts
7asts
1.5stls

Do you expect UK to offer Brian 'Tugs' Bowen of Saginaw Michigan a scholarship anytime soon??

of all my UK related questions, thats probably at the top of my list.

Next would be whats the chances they can land 2 of Ayton, Bamba and Carter Jr??

I haven't heard any news of an imminent offer to Bowen. Kind of curious about it myself.
I think we sit pretty with Ayton. I'm not feeling the love with Carter and is say Bamba is a good shot but early.
