Following potential 2017 draftees...

Jordan Bell is looking like he'll rise. Scouts are saying he has the best motor at the Combine and can defend 4 positions, per Chad Ford. The chance that he's available at 42 is dropping. I was comparing him to Trevor Booker, but he may be better than that when it's said and done.

Bell and Kuzma reportedly helped their stock the most yesterday.

I agree that he looks good, except that Jonah Bolden looks better. More explosive, more defensive activity and versatility, equal or better shooting percentages against better competition and the intn'l 3-pt line.

Not nearly as fluid or skilled.

The guy who could step into Ingles' role on day one would be Kurucs, but he won't be as strong defensively as a rookie.

Wut?

It would be Iwundu if anyone. Has to be a big wing who can handle and play temporary PG. Kurucs is just an athletic project.

I don't doubt Kuzma can be a very good player. I think Bolden is a plus-athlete. Kuzma has better assist numbers at Utah, so he may be the better passer. I hope the Jazz work them both out.

The Jazz do like a 4 who can run a pick-and-roll. That was one of Lyles' main appeals.

Kuzma is a better athlete. He might not be able to explode or jump higher than Bolden, but overall basketball athleticism Kuzma has him beat by a mile.

I think Kuzma has a top 3 lane agility so far at the combine.
