What's new

Following potential 2017 draftees...

The jazz can bring him aling slowly and if he does over come the knee issues, he is young enough to, he is a home run pick

Yeah, but there are so many good players in this draft I would have a hard time justifying the pick. In most drafts it would be less of a penalty for missing where as in this one you might be missing out on future rotation players.
 
Also, I have a hard time seeing Brooklyn pass up on Giles. They took Levert who was also had a long injury history. I think they more than any other team are looking to draft pure talent if it falls to them.

I could actually see them having Motley higher on their board... I posted not long ago I think they'll like him.. They like tough players that can contribute now..

They really like LeVert.. He looks damn good at times, they let him defend top options on the wing.. can do a bit of everything..
 
Giles looks to be moving around to at full speed. He's quick and agile, that says something about his knee. His issues are more strength related and those wouldn't be much of a concern on Utah given the depth..

Considering the price of the contract the Jazz will be paying the rookies, he'd be a damn good pick.
It is a swing for the fences pick

I'd argue he'd be a safe pick as long as he doesn't get red-flagged.. Harry can do some things, he's very coordinated.. He'll have a major chip on his shoulder too..
 
Justin Jackson 13th on DX's new mock.... (peculiar.. and ultimately good for the Jazz if true)

Terrance Ferguson back to 14 and the lottery (not a shock IMO)
 
I would say a Wes Matthews type of player would be the ideal for me. Some one who can come in play super solid defense with out compromising offense. Who can hit the open jumper.
Shake Milton, Bruce Brown, Mikal Bridges might fit the mold.. Jacob Evans, PJ Dozier Josh Hart, Svi Mykhailiuk, Tyus Battle and even Andrew White or Matisse Thybulle could be 2nd rd picks worth taking a flier on. and a super sleeper stash target is Adam Mokoka.
Second choice would be tweener either a 3/4
Tyler Lydon, TJ Leaf, Justin Jackson(Maryland). U also have Semi Ojeleye, Jonah Bolden, Devin Robinson Vince Edwards or Dedric Lawson in the 2nd.. and a stash candidates in Arnoldas Kulboka (or possibly Kurucs but I'd say he's more of a pure 3) Tadas Sedekerskis, Charalompoplous, Vezenkov.
or a 4/5 that can stretch the floor but still rebound well. That can play along side either gobert or favs.
Ivan Rabb, Zach Collins, Jarrett Allen, Caleb Swanigan, Jonathan Motley, Tony Bradley and Chemizie Metu. In the 2nd rd Cam Oliver, Moritz Wagner, Jordan Bell, Luke Kornet and stash Candidates; Jonathan Jeanne, Borisa Simanic, Alpha Kaba

Kennard moved up to #20 and Evans moved up to #33. Those two are my favorite players in this draft who I think can out perform their draft position. Evans will be in the first-round soon enough.

If Giles has one more ACL blow out he's probably done for good. That would be the only thing that scares me about Giles.

Do you not like Justin Jackson? I remember Locke saying the the Jazz loved him but he opted to stay in college for another year. I had a feeling he'd play himself into the lottery, but I still can't tell if I like him as a prospect or not.
