Following potential 2017 draftees...

Why is Anigbogu on almost none of the common draft sites mock drafts? Do they figure he's not entering the draft? I like him defensively. I'm not sure he's a good fit for the Jazz though. He's raw and limited on offense which isn't ideal next to Rudy which could limit him to a backup role of 14-15 minutes per game. There may be better options for us.

Well UCLA has alot of moving parts to try and figure, and given his age and talent its easy to project him to showcase even better next year.



Even given his considerable talent and would be experience advantage, it's conceivable that if Brandon McCoy committed there that Ike could come off the bench again...


It was also presumed that Robert Williams was in this draft, and he's a superior prospect at this point, easily... It's plausible that Ike could be one of the big winners from the re-shuffling of the bigs after Williams pulled out
 
I'm pretty sure Ike is also brighter than Bam.. I know I read/heard something about him that led me to believe that months back. Will post if I can find.
 
I think now with the benefit of hindsight u'd have to say the loss of Jonah Bolden hurt UCLA's title chances.. He shot 42% from 3 this season as a pro.

Bolden averages a block and a steal vs pro's and especially if he played SF he'd been able to provide more helpside shotblocking and more of a height/length advantage.. He patrols the upper atmosphere in college basketball terms..


Certainly it was in his best interests to leave the program tho... not saying otherwise.
 
Major sleeper from Senegal. Mentioned Cheikh Mbacke before when offers from big-name schools were pouring in. He chose UNLV on the strength of the African connection with Menzies and the fact that he got Pascal Siakam drafted in the 1st at NMSU.. Supposed to be young enough to be in the nxt years class too.

Looks like the next Chris Silva (at South Carolina) or even better.

He is 10th next year in DX mock draft, so he is on the sites.
 
Marcus Marshall really has nice tools to be an explosive scorer. Utah would be smart to grab him with their final pick, definitely more potent offensively than Olivier Hanlan.

Lemme predict he's gunna get VERY high scores in those NBA teamworkouts, and with the way the Jazz get so many players to workout he'll be in for sure, maybe even 2x. I'm not gonna say Damien Lillard but he's gonna crush the shooting drills. I watched Nevada plenty this year and he bombed away in every single game, when I first posted about him.

He likes flailing his legs out on those contested jumpers. Warding off defenders like a porcupine.
