Following potential 2017 draftees...

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.

You are severely overrating Kurucs readiness to contribute to an NBA playoff team.

I love the horse blinder syndrome (as I call it) come draft time. We get our prospect and no matter what, to hell with every other player.

For sure. I'm rooting for my guys.

I like Kurucs at 24, but am intrigued with Diallo, since he's a lottery talent.
I like Wilson at 30 (hoping he stays in).
I like Bolden at 42.
I liked both Bell and Bryant at 42, but they're both moving up. I'd consider them at #30, but don't think they'd overtake Wilson.
I think the Jazz can get a rotation wing late in this draft -- Bacon, Thornwell, maybe even Hart.

I think Adebayo is still underrated and will ultimately get taken by the early 20s.

I liked Mitchell, but he was never going to make it to our range. People are now comparing him to Marcus Smart with a jump shot.

I think Hartenstein has the potential to be a stud, but he doesn't fit with the Jazz.

I'll go on record.

He joined Barcelona's senior team.

He joined Barcelona's senior team.

He has played some matches, but he is not a full time member. Could be wrong on that though.

Their B team. Which is a bit like the SLC Stars in relation to their first team.

He has 3 minutes played in 1 game for their A team for the season.

For example, Vezenkov, who has said that he doesn't think he's ready for the NBA is playing regular minutes(19 MPG) for Barcelona's A team and shooting 70% TS% for the season.

The junior team is a separate from the B team? I thought they were the same thing for some reason.

Kurucs is only 19, but I think he can play NBA minutes. No rookie is going to play the same role that Ingles played last season, but Kurucs has that versatility and then some.

Yeah, they are separate. They play in the second level of the Spanish league.

Separately, they have different age group teams for their youth teams.
