What's new

Following potential 2015 draftees

A friend of mine has access (I guess he pays) and finally gave me the pass after I was bugging him for all types of shot charts all the time... :o

Damn, I guess I shouldn't be posting those. Might be infringing on some copyrights. I will delete them, I'm sorry guys... don't want to get him or myself in trouble.

Damn I missed those charts.
 
players I have soured on looney, oubre and lyles due to questionable motors.

players I hope at least one drops booker or Johnson.

player I am meh on Payne and dekker.

Timothe Luwawu playing live in the playoffs, if anyones bored.

He's quick, should be a major pain in the *** defensively.


Luwawu was flat out unstoppable today, took the game over, blowout status whenever he was in. By far his best showing this year. He looked like a triple threat version of Sefolosha, his stock will certainly get a bump from this..

He might be a top-20 prospect honestly.. he's not far off thats for sure... I was high on Damien Inglis last year, thought similarly of Luwawu when he hit the radar, different skillsets/positions obviously. I'm now convinced Luwawu has more upside(than Inglis) and is within striking distance of RHJ...

Built to play ultra fast, glides on defense, thats his 'transferable skill'. He's not just fast for some wing in the french pro b league, he will play very fast for a wing in the NBA.

Offensively he's more undercontrol and made better reads than you might expect, made a handful of nice post entry feeds, drew fouls with ease and showed plenty of nice finishes around the rim, most importantly he shot well from 3.
 
What was it?

Showed Portis is really good in the center of the court and high left elbow, like extremely efficient. Shot around 51% from midrange from the left elbow to the 3pt line. Wasn't good on the 15' baseline shots, was like 38% from right elbow. 70% from right corner 3.

Kaminsky had the best distribution, showed he can score all over the court.

I think Lyles had the best % within 5 feet, followed by Portis.
 
Nedim Buza and Lucas Dias workout for the Jazz tomorrow! Any fans? I like these players.

-Dias has an interesting story, of the players many have written off from the 2nd round, I'd vouch for him a bit, for now. He's Brandon Ashley-ish, Mr. Softie reputation, his jumper passes the eye test though, mechanics look easy. clearly though, he fell in love with settling for 20 footers and put up a bunch of 0 rebound games.

His measurements are a bit mysterious, I hope they Jazz measure him and let us plebs know. I suspect DX and most sites have him under-listed at 6'9, pretty sure hes more like 6'10-6'11" with a long wingspan, huge hands. his shooting touch didn't translate into much success % wise, actually regressed from last year, he's talented though, something could click. Only a week older than Dante.

-Buza is someone who was on the radar last year, just turned 20. I'd be shocked if he doesnt get drafted. I've thought he was better than Cedi Osman for some time, my stance has been fairly simple with him, his 3pt shot is pure, he's young and he's more mobile than most young prospects you'd see at the bottom of the 2nd. Givony said he surprised all week defensively and on the boards in practice at the hoops summit, which is good enough for me considering the range. He kind of reminds me of Sam Dekker minus 20 lbs of muscle.

-Bryce Cotton was one of my UDFA guys last year! hyped him up when he first came in to workout and they were clowning his height. did anyone post the recent vid of him workout out with Kris Dunn and Shamgod back at Providence??
 
Lots of overrating Bobby Portis goin on round here, thats a future bench player...were yall this hyped for Markieff Morris too?

The Jazz will go after a player they hope can start in a few years.. not Kaminsky or Portis..

That vertical jump is a legitimate concern it puts him squarely in Andrew Nicholson territory.

the speed of the game, and size of the competition is going to affect his timing in the paint

dont yall see him barely lifting off the ground and think 'that'd be an easy block for rudy?'

I like Bobby Portis even more now.
