What's new

Following potential 2017 draftees...

These weeks version of either or will change a little. Now you have to choose 1 of 3 choices. Try to explain why you chose who you did.

Start with the wings and guards

Ferguson, Ojeleye or Kurucs
White, Evans or Jackson
Hart, Bacon or Iwundu
Brooks, Blossomgame or Thornwell
Mason, Morris or Sumner
Goss, simmons or Keene
Brown, Dorsey or Dozier

Bigs

Patton, Hartenstein or Pacesniks
Giles, Leaf or Rabb
Bam, Bell or Wilson
Lydon, Peters or Swanigan
Bradley, Bryant or Lessort
Motley, Kuzma or Bolden
Robinson, Oliver or Vezenko

So choose one of the 3 and explain why.
 
Start with the wings and guards

Ojeleye - this was a tough one for me but the toughness of Ojeleye won out
Jackson - ill admit this is my homer pick. I do like his size and if he can learn to be a PG could be a steal.
Bacon - I am a huge hart fan but bacons size and ability to score interests me more
Thornwell - He is the definition of 3 and D
Mason - Got to go with the shooting here
Keene - Going with the scoring here but i dont really want any of them
Dozier - I hate his shooting and that needs to be fix but I have always been a fan

Bigs

Hartenstein - His upside wins out for me. I think he could play the 4 and the others can not.
Giles - is the swing for the fences pick
Bell - I cant believe i did this to my self as i like both Bell and Bam but bells intensity wins out.
Lydon - His shooting and athleticism win out
Bryant - i am on record that teams are going to regret passing on Bryant
Bolden - I have been on the bolden bandwagon for a while
Vezencko - His shooting will trasnlate and would be a prefect draft and stash player.
 
If we pick at #24/30, I'm hoping we are able to come away with 1 of Leaf/Semi/Wilson. Jeanne would have been on that list as well. Bam interests me but I'd be ambivalent about drafting a prospect in the 1st with a skill-set that would limit his potential role/impact when this team is in need of a potential star(s) that compliment Gobert (& hopefully Hayward). What do people think of the players mentioned & what other prospects projected in our range should I look into?

These weeks version of either or will change a little. Now you have to choose 1 of 3 choices. Try to explain why you chose who you did.

Start with the wings and guards

Ferguson, Ojeleye or Kurucs - Kurucs has the potential to be a versatile combo-forward like Saric or possibly even Gallinari
White, Evans or Jackson - Not a strong opinion, but Jackson has size, shooting ability, athleticism and potential to develop
Hart, Bacon or Iwundu - Hart can play at either guard position. He shoots well, plays within the offense and can defend a bit.
Brooks, Blossomgame or Thornwell - Don't really have an opinion
Mason, Morris or Sumner - Don't really have an opinion; Sumner has the most upside, but he can't shoot.
Goss, simmons or Keene -- Keene is a bit interesting
Brown, Dorsey or Dozier -- meh

Bigs

Patton, Hartenstein or Pacesniks - Patton is the best prospect. Pasecniks has great size and mobility. Hartenstein is a bit underrated as an athletic 4/5 with some range.
Giles, Leaf or Rabb - Giles is risky, and that leave Leaf.
Bam, Bell or Wilson - Bam is the higher-tier prospect. He'll defend 2 or 3 positions, rebound and be a complementary scorer.
Lydon, Peters or Swanigan - Not close. Lydon is a quick-release, knock-down shooter from mid-range and 30 feet.
Bradley, Bryant or Lessort - Probably Lessort due to his aggressiveness, but it's really close with Bradley.
Motley, Kuzma or Bolden - Bolden is streaky, but he's the best talent. He's also not a great character guy, so the Jazz might pass.
Robinson, Oliver or Vezenko - What little Robinson does is very valuable. Oliver might be underrated, depends on his effort level. Vezenkov shoots like Joe Ingles, but better. If he defends well enough to stay on the floor, he might be the best player here.

So choose one of the 3 and explain why.

If Wilson can add strength and rebound, he has a lot of potential. I think Semi is a good pick at 30, but I'm not sold at 24.

With Bam, it's a question of whether the Jazz want another player like Favors -- defense, pick-and-roll, rebound, shoot mid-range.
 
This was just following Croc Dante ranking Semi Ojeleye over Kurucs on jazzfanz.com I'm hearing
