What's new

Following potential 2017 draftees...

It will be interesting to see how the European market behaves when there's so much depth at the top.
Some prospects/agents want an early pick/biggest rookie contract like Dario Saric failed to score...(Had he not pulled out in 2013 he'd be paid a lot more since he'd be no longer bound to the rookie scale)
Those could opt to stay out of this draft as even in 2017 a lot of GMs will decide for the NCAA prospect when in doubt.
Other agents could use the depth on top trying to hide their high level prospect somewhere in the crop and getting them to certain teams that are known to develop and utilize international talent appropriately. (Hi Spurs, Nuggets etc)
 
OG Anunoby

His length/measurements and what not were said to be misreported according to someone on Jazzfanz. I forget who. But that user said the measurements were for another Hoosier, not him. Just saying.

Just a quick search and I've seen 7'2 to 7'6. Thomas Davis has about a 7'6 wingspan, so it could have been switched.

7'2 wingspan is still really good, and where I saw it was an article from 2014. Could have grown, but idk.

I'm not saying the info was wrong. I'm saying someone on Jazzfanz said it was. He may be right if you've read 7'6" but also see 7'6" for another Hoosier and 7'2" for OGA as well.
 
U20 Euro Championships being played now. Lauri Markannen is playing great. Arizona will be tough next year even with Ferguson not making the cut. Mushidi had a big game today. Yurtseven playing well despite being younger than most of the other players. Svi scoring points but taking a lot of shots to get it. Marc Garcia playing pretty well. Trying to reestablish himself as a prospect.

Arizona still loaded in the backcourt/wing.
Thanks for the report.
 
Looking at a very early analysis of the jazz and what they might need in this draft and it is not easy. This team is stacked but has a few weaknesses.

- i love JJ but lets face it he is no spring chicken and clearly on the downside of his career. With hayward, hood and hopefully burks the jazz have a decent rotation. Hill will also get burn here but he is a free agent next summer. I hope re re-signs but until that happens you cant count on him.

Wing players (i have made the assumption that the jazz will be in the top 10 in the nba so we will draft in the 20 to 30s)

- jaron blossom game seems to be a decent pick up. He plays with fire and is very athletic. His shot is odd but looks to be fixable. He would be a great addition.

- grayson allen is a pure scorer that would be a great addition. Some of the write ups say he might be able to play some pg. Considering how the jazz play this is doable with Exum. He can be deadly from 3 (but inconsistent) and is pretty athletic. He is also a decent defender. Not great measurables if he plays the 2.

Yurtseven another good game. A Czech named Matej Svoboda is playing really well. Does not seem to be ranked on draft sites right now though. Flaccadori having a good tournament for Italy. Markkanen another outstanding performance in a losing effort. Mushidi stunk today. Watch out for Wimberg.
