Following 2016 potential draftees

I think the Jazz are going to come away with one of Ellenson, Skal or Baldwin. Korkmaz or Richardson are additional possibilities. In any case, we should get a top-7 rotation player for the future.

On 3PT attempts, If you average over their last two years, Hield is 41.3% Valentine is at 43%

Yep they are closer statistically than their draft position is.

I don't know why since I watch very little college ball.

Anyone here know why hield is looked at as the much better prospect?

Valentine is the better rebounder, passer, and arguably shooter, and has better size (same height but Valentine is quite a bit bigger)

I think they are probably about the same age too since they both played 4 years.

Quickness, athleticism and some ability to create a shot off the dribble.
 
I don't think Hayward is that easily replaced tbh. There really aren't any good two way wings in this draft, and all the ones in free agency are poor versions of Hayward.

Again, on a team with an average pace, he's pretty much a 21/6/4 guy that plays really good defense. If we could sign a free agent like that, everybody would go nuts. Since he's here, people don't like him.

We had the 5th best point differential in the West without even an average PG, and our best defensive player injured for quite a while. What more was Hayward supposed to do?

Reading this and then looking at his three point percentage last year and the amount of attempts, plus his two point percentage and free throw percentage and ppg plus his size (and like you said, quickness athleticism and ability to create off the dribble) is easy to understand the steph curry comp I have heard.

Plus he will likely be drafted right at about the same spot as curry too
I think even some of the criticisms/weaknesses are similar to curry coming out of college
 
I don't think anyone should be compared to Steph. He's a circus freak. Maybe coming out of college makes more sense, but Curry played on the ball mostly.

With Ellenson, I can hear Locke's pitch now--he's as big as Towns, can make plays out on the floor like Lyles, gives the Jazz a legit stretch 5.
