Following potential 2017 draftees...

[mellow]

I wouldn't trade up for White either. I think both of those players will be available at 30.

I would have quickly agreed with you two weeks ago, but then Jonathan Jeanne was diagnosed with Marfan syndrome and Rodions Kurucs withdrew both players were expected to go before 30. There is always uncertainty at the backend of the 1st round, now there is more.

I'm surprised Jonathan Jeanne didn't withdrew from the draft. I wonder who would step up to the plate and still draft despite being diagnosed with marfan syndrome. If available, I'd pull the trigger at 55 on him. It's a very late pick anyway so why not.

Locke had a mock draft with his Locked on network and he reportedly picked Tony Bradley at 24 and traded up to 27 from 30 to pick Derrick White. Both of them have had a workout with the Jazz.

I LOATHE the Bradley pick. I wouldn't pick him at 55, let alone at 24.

I think Perrin said Bradley impressed him with his shooting ability.

I haven't noticed anybody mention it - I listened to a Locke interview on 1280 and they asked him if there has been a Rudy Gobert level workout this year. They usually ask him this specific question every year and he always says there hasn't been anything close to it. This time he said there were 2 that weren't exactly Gobert-level but they were close. The Jazz probably have at least two prospects they like very much. I think only Donovan Mitchell is a player who has worked out for us that is out of our range.

at the very end.

Yeah, it's Kuzma. Going to lol at all these clowns who hated on me for my early diagnosis of Kuzma's first round draft grade.

I noticed the Weber State guard is working out today and one of the guy also working out is a guy from Texas A and M Commerce that averaged 22 points 9 boards, 2 assists and 2 block per game and is listed as 6'8" 240 lbs and shot a good percentage from 2 and 3. He might be a sleeper.

Tony Jones did a mock draft and has Kuzma going at 20.

It's Texas A&M Corpus Christi....

It has already been brought up and someone said he hinted that one of them was a local?

Locke said there were two really good work outs. I'd predict that one of them has to be Donovan Mitchell. He's been wowing people in every workout.

One of the radio guys said he heard a local, in-state guy surprised the Jazz in his workout. It could be Kuzma and is likely Kuzma, since it's a reach to say Swanigan is an in-state guy. Locke wouldn't confirm.

Lessort apparently had a good workout with the Jazz, but the Jazz worked him out a year ago, I believe, so it shouldn't have come as a big surprise....which is what I think they imply when they say a Gobertesque workout.

DJ Wilson worked out with the Jazz before the Combine and his agent obviously felt it went well.

Bell could have dominated his workout. Hard to say.

No, he didnt say it was in the Jazz workout. He said he heard a local guy has been surprising teams in workouts (multiple). Hans said he heard a local guy has been making waves, but then he asked the other guy if he was the guy he heard about from the Jazz. The other host said no.

I guess it could have been the Jazz also, but the information he was conveying is that it has been all over the league.

It also could have been Jalen Moore fyi, he is the most local of the local guys.
