Following potential 2017 draftees...
- Thread starter Dr. Jones
- Start date
Perrin said he thinks Semi Ojeleye might just be a small ball 4. Not sure if he can play the 3 offensively.

Because we know that everything that is said to the press is the truth and not meant to lead astray what the plans are for the Jazz.

If I had to pick a second rounder that has the potential to way out play where he was drafted my vote would go to Bacon. That doesnt mean he will but he has the tools to be an elite scorer but he needs to become a better shooter.
He's a pretty good shooter. His defense is suspect. I think he could come in and be a Shabazz Muhammad-type scoring wing off the bench. I'm okay with him at 30, depending on who else is on the board and who we pick earlier.
I mean, it lines up with what anyone can see on film if they watch him. He play the 4 in college and preyed on using his physical size to score on smaller players in the AAC.

I really want Swanigan. No reason he can't be at least as good as Mo Speights.

Kuzma and Bacon top that list for me. Kind of sad the Jazz didn't just cut Pleiss and keep the two draft picks. #36 could end up being a really solid player this year.
God, I would hate Bacon at 30. I get wing is the most valuable position and this is a weak wing class, but still. I dont think he fits well in modern NBA. He is one of those "scoring mentality" type players who can't shoot. He has defensive tools, but he isnt known as being a good defender. I dont trust him being able to adjust to a role player role.
He is a super interesting offensive player. Would be a (potentially) fantastic fit offensively, but he might be the worst defender in the draft. Can't protect the rim and cant move his feet on the perimeter.

I think as a backup you can scheme around that. Could do worse with a 2nd rounder. ****, he's just as good as Kanter.

If you can just get him to get in better shapes, with his wingspan you would think you could get him to be at least average.
