Following potential 2017 draftees...

[Game6Conley]

I think he's a high risk high reward pick. I like that he's showing some passion at times, where he steps up his energy level a lot on both ends. On the other hand he sometimes vanishes, but that could be also be a byproduct of being a big at this level of competition.
Another aspect in his favor is that he's a high skill big like Towns, Dirk or Porzingis. He can put it on the floor without risking a shaqtin a fool appearance, he can shoot it, he sees the floor well.
Some team should draft him in the lottery because of his upside. Legit chance to be a top 5 guy when it's all said and done in any draft. Reasonably athletic, but I'd say more mobile/nimble than vertically imposing.

He's gonna test well vertically tho, for sure.

Tacko Fall has 18 on 5/5 fg's in the 1st half vs Miami(Ohio)


Edit; his career-high is 26 and he's got 25 with 17m to go and still hasn't missed a FG - 8/8

edit2; Career high 31

Yep I'm watching. He really does look like a lottery talent. At this point I think I'd trade both 1sts to secure him.

I'm definitely bumping him up in the next mock. He's got the talent to go like 9th or 10th imo.

Both 1sts wouldn't even sniff top 10.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Both 1sts wouldn't even sniff top 10.

Jazz aren't getting into the lottery this year. Might as well look to add a couple guys to bounce down to the Stars late in the first because Utah and Golden State are both going to be picking late this draft.

Jackpot scenario in this draft would be for Hartenstein to fall to the Jazz like Rodney Hood. He's potential to make $200MM. 10 quick points in the 1st q.


He projects in a way where he can be your backup C like Favors, so he's a great match with this roster IMO. He seems pretty much a bigger more athletic Henry Ellenson.

actually i see shades of nowitski in his game. I know likely comparison because they are both german but both have ok handles, Can shoot the 3 and are good passers

FSU Jonathan Isaac/Dwayne Bacon are playing on WatchESPN right now vs a 7-3 Samford squad.

I wouldn't call him a good passer just yet. He's got potential, for now he forces it too much. Yesterday I watched him throw one of those Exum style hook the arm around the opponent passes, and bounced it right into the middle of the lane and it basically hita defender right in the nuts for a turnover/fastbreak.

 

[Game6Conley]

Even with all the super productive players that have already surfaced in this class already, Jonathan Isaac can keep putting up relatively modest stats in comparison and still go higher than most all of em.

Thats just how talented he is. At 6'11" he uses those choppy steps you see from Rodney Hood. There are some traces of Porzingis in his game.

Agreed. Hopefully lottery talents can fall right in their laps again tho..


As for the 2nd sentence. I agree too - Here's one of my suggestions.

He's on the floor for the first time in over a year. ESPN2. Tennessee St. is playing them tough thru 10 minutes.

Marques Bolden needs the "Claws and Fangs" peptalk from Vince Vaughn in Swingers. I'd post it but there's f-bombs. Youtube it, worth 1:43 if you've never seen it.
