Following potential 2017 draftees...

[Game6Conley]

Well this is a Jazz forum and we will be getting the leftovers at around 22. Granted they are "good" leftovers this year. Expect talk to pickup in March.

The reason I point it out is people here don't seem to really watch many games anymore.. I've seen 100's already for damn sure.

Miles Bridges is beasting vs Purdue.. I remember bringing him up here at 4-stars..


Josh Jackson with 2 3p makes in consecutive games. He reminds me of

I read your mock. I agree with much of it, though I'd be a bit surprised if Issac gets as high as #2. The Jazz will be watching to see who falls from the late teens. They'll have to take what they're given, like when they picked Hood at #23.

I'm not sure what to think of this draft. There's good talent at the top, though not obvious superstar talent aside from the PGs. The draft could produce 3 or even 4 All Star-level PGs. It's also a pretty deep through the 20s of the first round. The Jazz will get a good player, hopefully an upside-athlete with some toughness. That's what they need to add.

I think this draft is going to produce like 9 stars, PG's will be the strength but I'm sure without even seeing declarations/withdrawals this draft will be 40+ deep.. So the Jazz could have 3 selections in that range..

This crop really has the it factor.. Been waiting for this group to hit college for years..

There's such depth and broad-based skillsets at the top it's likely many upper echelon 'specialists' will be right in the Jazz range..

Get the **** outa here. I was hyping Markelle Fultz here when he was ranked in the 20's of the HS class saying "I think he's got the talent to keep rising the rankigs" Same for Robert Williams in the 50's of the class rankings, Same for De'Aaron Fox who I pointed out ranked at 4-stars here....

those types of calls are forgotten here regularly and it's really quite the opposite of what you described. More posters here want to talk to me about Alex Len or Noah Vonleh instead of the 100's of players on the radar now.

I'm constantly pointing out things ahead of the consensus and finding flaws in those lists.

The consensus top-3 players right now (Fultz, Ball, Smith) you had at 12, 13, and 17. Get out of here with that dude.

[MENTION=2408]PG_AB[/MENTION] you make a ton of amazing contributions to this thread and the draft in general. Just stop tooting your own horn so much or admit the mistakes you make.

So what. Thats ****ing beyond trivial, the fact you think that holds any weight is telling.. Grasp for straws much? The fact of the matter is a bunch of people who OBVIOUSLY watch 1/50th of the games that I do try to hold dominion over these conversations, like you're attempting to do here now.

What do you have to add other than what the consensus is? LOL. The fact of the matter is people here try to hold my feet to the fire about many of my opinions but most of my best posts get no response here whatsoever and looked over.

you claim my opinions are that of the consensus and then you call when I point my opinions that were ahead of the consensus tooting my own horn.

Damn, Marquette rallies from 17 down to beat #1 Villanova. Katin Reinhardt lead with 19 points. Didn't he used to play for UNLV?

Gonzaga the new #1? Arizona rising up in the rankings to #7. Solid team and get the best player in the class (DeAndre Ayton) next year, imo. They look like a team that can be at the top for years to come.

smith was just ridiculous in the last 5 minutes at that game. The assist to Abu with about 3 and a half to play (3:45 on the video) was as good as we'll see this year.
