The Jazz could really use a quick-release, catch-and-shoot shooter like this, let alone at the 4. Our guys -- Joe, Joe and Hood -- sometimes take a while to catch, set and think about shooting before they release, and it gives defenses time to hedge and recover rather than maximizing space. A guy like Klay Thompson, whose release is instant, keeps his man's eyes and feet glued to him at all times. Plus, it looks like this guy will be able to survive on defense and on the boards.

IDK, his weaknesses are really similar to Lyles but he is smaller/weaker. The question is if he works harder than Lyles. He seems to be a little lighter on his feet and obviously is a more pure shooter. Other than that Lyles seems to have him beat on most things. I just think he might be able to fit into a role better than Lyles has currently shown.
 
If we pick Lydon, it's primarily for his shooting and floor spacing. They probably wouldn't ask him to initiate much or bang inside. He's lighter than Lyles, but if anything that makes him quicker and bouncier. He's physically very similar to TJ Leaf, which is why it would be great to see those two work out. I wonder what Leaf would be like if UCLA played at the same pace as Syracuse. Syracuse really pushes the ball and UCLA typically plays a bit slow.

Dude, did you watch basketball this year? What are you smoking? Besides, these things are easy to look up.

UCLA played with one of the fastest paces in college basketball, especially among D1 schools.
 
[MENTION=430]Dr. Jones[/MENTION] have you heard anything on Jairus Hamilton? I see there's interest. Posted about him here last year, one of my favorite 4-stars in the class.

Nada.
Only hearing the following names;
Bamba
Smith
Knox
Cam Johnson

Cal going hard after Bamba and will take one of the other 3 if they want to come along. Went after Johnson the hardest of the 3.

From 2018, David McCormack visiting this weekend.

Cool I've seen McCormack play a few times, he's solid. Would end up a great example of the strength and conditioning program.

I'm guessing Hamilton is a potential backup plan for if Zion goes elsewhere.. Both are crazy strong wings, seem a bit redundant.

Cameron Johnson looks great, would much rather have him than Mark Smith. no-brainer. I'm guessing they think he can make the NBA..


Guessing the Humprhies declaration means we'll be seeing more of Sacha Killeya Jones next season??
