What's new

Following potential 2017 draftees...

The Jazz only had 3 playable wings in the playoffs with Burks injured. Hood has injury issues too. We may not be able to keep Ingles.

JJ is a PF now. He isn't going to be playing SF anymore.

Hood will be healthy again. I think it is more likely than not Inlges will be back. It could go either way but based on everything I think it is more likely. If Hill comes back he and Exum can play SG. Burks might be traded but if he isnt he will be healthy and play again. JJ will play some PF but like the playoffs he will still play on the wing plenty. We might have needs here but I still think Bigs will be more of an issue.

Hayward, JJ, Hood, Inlges, Exum, Hill, Mack, and Neto all played wing in the playoffs at some point.

Favors is unreliable healthy wise. There is a decent chance we waive Diaw. Lyles was unplayable and that could continue. Withey is probably gone but either way he was inadequate to play back up center. That leaves us with Gobert as our only reliable big. I guess JJ as well but he is limited minutes and limited to matchups.

this kid is way underrated. going to Cinci next year. He's bust Hamidou's *** before.
 
Here's Hamidou(#35 in white) vs Keith Williams(#24 in black). there's tons of highly ranked prospects in this game. Including UK's Nick Richards(#30 in white) and Jordan Tucker who appears headed to Duke. and Isaiah Washington(#7 in white) who's an underrated 4-star PG headed to Minnesota, Washington and Williams should both be top-50.

You can see Diallo take the ball coast to coast in like 4 seconds after a block 6minutes in.

In terms of age, physical measurements and college stats, Semi has some similarity to Jae Crowder entering the 2012 draft. Semi's steals aren't as good, suggesting that he might not be quite as laterally quick. I think with these strong power wings the key may be how quick their feet are. Semi looks to be at least as explosive as Stanley Johnson a couple years ago, so that's a plus.

I don't think you can compare Semi to Draymond until he shows he can handle the ball and make plays with the pass.
