He thinks the 3rd Transformers movie is one of the best movies of all time.

It's not?

What's the biggest knock on Swanigan? He seems like he would be a pretty good stretch-four. His defense?

He isnt a 4 at all. Would get smoked if you put him there.

He is Al Jefferson without the ability to block shots and less refined post moves, but with more range on his jumper.

He's an undersized 5 then?

Would you take him at 42?

Yeah. He has a nice wingspan, but his standing reach is just 9', so the thought is he will have trouble scoring in the post as he doesnt get great clearance on any of his post moves. Big Al had nearly the exact same measurements coming out of HS, but had a 2'' higher reach.

No. If he doesnt adapt to the NBA 3pt line I struggle to see him being a NBA player for longer than his rookie contract.

He seems to be self-aware, unlike Bam(who wants to be a stretch 4??). He said he wants to be like Draymond defensively and like Tristan Thompson offensively. I think that's a pretty good goal for him.

I think he would make a great Jazz man. With Bell and Gobert roaming the paint wow

I'm really curious to know how the Jazz see Ojeleye. Walt Perrin was saying he's too slow to guard 3s. If they really feel that way, they probably won't take him.

Pretty sure Perrin said Ojeleye wasnt offensively skilled enough to play 3. Didnt say anything about him being too slow.

Yep, I had it backwards. Walt is saying he can guard 3s, but they don't know if he can play offensively at a 3. Walt said he shot the ball well in the Jazz 100.
