What's new

Following 2016 potential draftees

Thon would be in the lottery by the time the draft comes around. He'll do well in the draft workouts, no doubt. Realistically, 12th should get us a very good player. I'm excited, this draft is deep this year.
 
Let me explain why i want the jazz to go big.

1st - favors back and gobert plays in a way that seems to get sprain ankles. Depth at the f/c

2nd - there is a lot of depth and talent at or around the 12th pick. Thete are some good bigs.

3rd - since a lot of scoring comes from the wings in the nba i think it would be best for the jazz to improve that through free agency.

Deyonta davis really intrigues me. He has a ton of talent and i respect the MU program.

I like the home run potential of both skal and maker.

I think with the right assets the jazz could even move up a little and draft poeltl.

Like i posted before there are a lot of potential bigs
 
Also a jackpot scenario could be Henry Ellenson falling to the pick. He's not a perfect match because he's just about exactly Trey Lyles size, maybe a half an inch taller. He's a better rebounder and shotblocker for sure and he's more used to playing 5, he'd be a seamless fit at PF next to Favors, Gobert or Withey too.

I believe he's got some Kevin Love to his game, his handle/faceup game is really something for a player his size too. He and Lyles with Burks off the bench could really attack the basket from the perimeter aggressively

Davis is interesting but I like Skal better, I'm waiting for measurements and workouts though to really decide. I haven't ruled Stephen Zimmerman out yet either.

Ellenson is interesting but if it was my team i would want some one to be able to have a back to the basket game. Davis is raw but his jump hook has a lot of promise. If he can develop a counter move he could be very deadly.

Yeah when I saw him I also thought "Kevin Love" ... but that could be because he's a good rebounder who can shoot 3's ... plus 1 other reason I don't want to mention publicly... LOL
 
I like Jaylen Brown better than Justise Winslow and Stanley Johnson from last year's draft. Out of our range, of course...

That's the kind of athletic, versatile wing we need, though he needs to develop his shooting.
 
Ellenson shoots hooks with both hands!! He has good footwork and a strong base(stronger than Lyles), he holds his ground very well and might be able to play 5 vs backups. He's got a textbook turnaround J. Lots of potential he's ultra-skilled.
I guess if i want a true post score diamond stone would be that guy.
