Following potential 2017 draftees...

People who follow the younger prospects... thoughts on Nico Mannion? I don't follow these things, but I just happened upon this longform SI article about him and the recruiting business. His father, Pace Mannion, played for the Jazz.

He is probably gonna be awesome, he's got more talent than Luke Kennard and Tyler Dorsey. He might be a starter and a lottery pick. It's not so much based on pedigree or even upside with his skill level, he's already rather advanced.

There actually seems to be an uptick in Gingers on the way to the league..

That kid could 'play up' many years in high-level competition, which is pretty much one of the best compliments I could give.

His handle is very sharp and he's 6'5", he's gonna project as a better scorer than Lonzo Ball probably.

U gimmie that kid and Jalen Suggs (who's also sharp as they come and a year younger) and u can straight run college teams right out of the building with proper frontcourts, and thats no lie, those 2 in-particular are some true outliers.
 
Harry Giles is not like Derrick Favors. Utah would only need to take a flier on Giles, they needed to be much more sure with Favors..

It's like comparing some shiny raw rare metal in favors to something thats much more tarnished at the same stage in Giles.



They're different positionally, stylistically, skillsets are very different. Harry Giles was like handling the ball on the break and then doing spin moves into the lane and then dropping off nice passes when he drew all the defenders, back when he was young, Favors was more like a DeAndre Jordan type of figure thats been working hard at improving his skill level..

Bradley might be a nice pick up with the GSW pick

Yup. He'd be way better value than GSW got with their pick last year in Damien Jones from Vandy...

I doubt he'd be in this draft to fall that far tho..

He'd bring back some of the orebounding that was lost from Kanter. said it before I'll say it again he's the closest thing to Enes in this draft (and is longer and projects as a better defender imo.

Bradley seems to be able to actually play defense. Bradley doesn't have lanterns range though

What about Motley from Baylor? I reckon the Jazz could use a blue collar, lunch pail and hard hat guy at the four, be even better if he had a bit of nasty about him too.

I'd be fine with Motley. John Collins is the closest thing to Kanter, imo.

Nice... not even sure it's correct because I haven't paid a ton of attention but cross racial comparison also cross nationality comparison. Great work.
