Following potential 2017 draftees...

Kuzma (6-9, 223) shot well from 3 during the workout’s final 15 minutes, something he did at the NBA combine as well. "Kuzma's been impressive," Connelly said. "He had a great camp in Chicago. He's lost weight. I just saw him work out in Chicago at his agent pro day on Friday and he's shooting the ball really well."

Note from the Phoenix Suns workout Kuzma did today.
 
Lot of good stuff about Derrick White:

https://www.draftexpress.com/articl...raft-scouting-report-and-video-analysis-5953/

After redshirting last season, in accordance with NCAA rules, White was one of only 14 players in the NCAA this season to average 18 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists per game with Markelle Fultz, Frank Mason, and Dennis Smith being the only other players to accomplish that feat hailing from power conferences.

Officially measured at 6'4.5 in shoes with a 190-pound frame and a 6'7.5 wingspan, White has come a long way from his high school days physically. Possessing excellent size for a combo guard, the 22-year old fifth year senior is also a solid, but not spectacular athlete. He isn't freakishly quick or explosive, but plays with tremendous pace and is bouncier in space than one might expect given his style of play. Functioning as Colorado's primary shot creator, White regularly enjoyed a significant size advantage over his defender last season. With over a third of his possessions coming in pick and roll or isolation situations, White was regularly asked to make plays off the dribble, but also scored the ball prolifically in spot up situations, and as the focal point of the Buffalo's off screen sets. Scoring 1.078 points per possession, scoring at an above average rate in virtually every conceivable situation, White was the seventh most efficient scorer in high major basketball last season, according to Synergy Sports Technology, among players using over 16 possessions per game.

Yeah, like I mentioned earlier he said he's more comfortable from the NBA three.

Evans at 24 and Kuzma at 30 would be pretty sweet.

Kuzma in the first!? guess it would be cool to have a Ute wearing a jazz uniform, but think that's a stretch, even though scouts have been high on him, this is a deep draft

when he first declared, myself and several Ute fans didn't think he'd get drafted at all

Detroit is madly trying to unload Drummond and is likely willing to attach the #12 to do it.

No offense, but you are way off on this. Almost zero chance the pistons trade the #12 to dump Drummond.

I hate to say it, but between this and talking about Utah taking on bad contracts to gain a pick, I think you have a case of draft fever. Every year there is a couple of guys who start salivating over the rookies coming into the league, and their minds go to work on ideas where Utah can get another early pick or two, because they can't settle for just one guy or a guy in our range.

Sorry catch, but you got da fever.

Yep. Technically, it's OCD. I got the idea from a Pistons' fan board though actually.
