Following potential 2017 draftees...

To be clear tho, Derrick White over Jok any day, all day, every day. White's basketball IQ is much higher, he can be trusted with the ball in his hands.. Jok goes thru bouts of Kobe-itis and suffers from tunnel vision.

Here is another player vs player who would you take?

Z Collins V Allen
J Jackson V Ferguson
J Collins v Patton <--- This is the easiest pick of the bunch BTW. Somehow Patton is flying under the radar again.. Which I have no explanaition for..
Kennard V Mitchell
Rabb V Hartenstien <-- Rabb is probably safer, this one is up in the air. workouts/interviews will be telling (not Rabb's interviews, he's gonna do just fine in those, for certain.)
Leaf V Lydon
Swanigan V Bam
Bryant V Bradly <--- This one is easy
Diallo V Kurucs <--- This one is tough
Jeanne V Lessort
Wilson V Bolden <--- Easy, u really gotta take into account their body types in this.
Iwandu v White
Hart V Bacon <-- Easy, you'd be crazy to take Bacon first if we're talking for the Jazz...

good post
 
BTW I don't think Utah is going to actually draft Jok, he's an UDFA.. they could've gone after a player like Sheldon McClellan last year (Wizards picked him up) Same type of skillsets.
 
[MENTION=430]Dr. Jones[/MENTION] did you have an inclination on the Knox commit or were u surprised like the rest of us plebs?


(I can't say I was all that shocked tho.. It's quite clear Coach Cal is not the dude to underestimate in the arena of recruiting, he's obviously unparalleled.)


So glad he's on the squad tho. He's the main replacement for Diallo (for the others reading this). I always pay attention to the Team USA camps and thats where I first saw him -- Before he cut the weight, before he quit playing football. He's come a long way and still there's so far to go.

also do u have any word on Vanderbilt being injured? I truly hope thats not a part of this.

Cool. What a rebounding squad this is gonna be if Bamba's in as well!!! I love watching teams who control the boards. definitely a recipe for success in the tournament.

I'm really excited for Vanderbilt, this all plays out for him to showcase the ball-skills and passing that he's got in spades..

I hope Cam Johnson is in too. Bring on the shooters.

It's funny Coach Cal said Mo Bamba's the next Anthony Davis all that time ago.. This class to me is really starting to remind me of that class.. Baker sorta reminds me of Doron Lamb..

Jok could be the michael redd of this draft

There's not a snowflakes chance in hell.. Jok is getting way too much pub here right now.. Chances of him being the next Anthony Morrow are very low too..

Another 23 year old player with a nearly identical build Damyean Dotson should definitely be getting mentioned in the same breath. He's also a dead-eye shooter.

Like I've said before the UDFA pool is gonna be epic this year. Don't forget Davon Reed who's a 6'5" shooter with a 7' wingspan (He's got some Josh Richardson like qualities -- I'd say thats the type of player to look for, Michael Redd is one of the greatest 2nd rd picks ever.)

Reed turns 22 in a month.
 
Jok will be a better pro then he was a college player. He was always being doubled team and was the focal point of other teams scouting reports. If he can settle in to being a 3D player then he has a good chance. Don t see Redd in his future but Morrow he could be.
