Following potential 2017 draftees...

Ok someone in the know tell me more about mikal bridges. Been watching some games and the kid has legit size, plays defense, has a nice looking jumper. He is over shadowed by brunson and Hart but bridges is an NBA player.

I am not seeing him mocked. Is he going to wait a year to be the man for Nova. He is a redshirt sophomore now.

No he's not gonna be the man, thats Brunson or DiVicenzo. He's limited offensively and the question is how much of his offense is a result from Nova's system and superior personnel..

He's a bit like Rondae Hollis-Jefferson.

I put him to the Jazz 30th pick in my latest mock but I think I'd swap him out for Deng Adel of Louisville now. It's a toss up.

The question with him is about his ability to be any sort of real factor on offense.
 
A few somewhat hushed rumors floating around:

** George Hill's agent is the same guy who reps both Allen Crabbe and Tyler Johnson. Both of these players received big contract offers from the Nets during the last offseason, essentially setting their market value and forcing their incumbent teams to match the offers. League executives privately expect the Nets to make a big offer (max or near-max) to Hill, and this is what caused Hill's camp to reject the Jazz's extension offer.

** The Phoenix Suns are shutting down guard Eric Bledsoe for the rest of the season, against Bledsoe's own wishes. Phoenix Suns' fans believe that the Suns have a trade lined up for Bledsoe if the Suns draft a PG in the upcoming draft. Phoenix currently has the third-worst record in the league and is likely to have a top-5 pick.

** Phoenix is one of the teams that expressed interest in trading for Derrick Favors at the trade deadline this year.

Put it all together, jump to some conclusions, and you've got the Jazz and Phx making a trade involving Bledsoe and Favors this summer.

Seems like they could get more for Bledsoe, but sure, I will hold out hope.
 
Man that was brutal what Matthew Fischer-Davis just did in the final minute of the L to Northwestern. He might never live that down, thats the type of thing that haunts ya.

A lot of it is dead on some of the weaknesses in his scouting report..
 
This post should be the last time melo trimbles mentined here. RIP to his chances.


Justin Jackson and Huerter played well enough to win.

Phoenix has the 3rd pick potentially so if Ball is there, could be some tentative agreement in place for a Favors/Bledsoe trade? I'm sure we would have to add something.

If we can't get Hill back or if he cost too much.... Eric Bledsoe is one heck of a compensation prize. I'd be stoked if we got him. If this is indeed the Jazz plan, you'd have to imagine they are also pursuing Omri Casspi quite hard right now.
 
I like Bledsoe but is that really whats gonna happen at PG? Seems unsound. Utah's just gonna perpetually trade assets for rentals at PG??
 
Bledsoe has not been able to stay healthy. And that deal does nothing for our cap. No thanks PHX. Rather have Dante start instead. If you want favs give us young prospects and picks so we gain cap room and more assets.
 
Skal Labissierre put up 32 on Wednesday. I was high on him last year. One of the few guys I wanted the Jazz to grab at 12.

Giles wont be on the board for Utah, he's not falling to the mid-20's.. Their best bet might be Chimezie Metu.. if your looking for a 4/5 that agile and explosive and can block shots.

Hmm, sure on Giles? Feel like I've seen him in that range a couple of places. Though I'd understand if he looks healthy.
