Following Potential 2018 Draftees

If was GM, I would offer the LA Clippers Dante Exum, the 21st pick for Boban and the 13th pick.

Why would the Clippers do it? They save salary and get a better player in Exum.

Why would the Jazz do it? This is a better draft class than the 2014 class. Exum is a role player, nothing more. It is a bet that you can get a better talent. and it doesn't commit salary beyond 2019.

Offer Dante? The Jazz dont have him under contract. You cant trade free agents during the draft.

I don’t see it and find his shot odd as hell.

His shooting stroke isn't that much different from Lillard's or possibly Dennis Schroeder's (I have to check on that).

Okobo

Okobo

How can anyone see that first jump shot and say that is odd as hell?

Does his jumper look a little flat to anyone else? Maybe it's just the camera angle.

 

[The Thriller]

Okobo seems like everything Dante was supposed to be. Athletic, strong defender, good at getting to the rim...

Actually, Kyrie sometimes shoots like that too. It just looks different because he's a lefty.

 

[Game6Conley]

Arnoldas Kulboka has put on 15lbs this year.

Okobo's shot is fine. He's a great offensive prospect. The main things he has to work on offensively are shot selection and taking care of the ball. Those are things that basically every young guard needs to work on though.

Okobo

He's got such a nice change of pace in his game to make up for his lack of elite first step and explosiveness. Looks really in control.

 

[Keefe]

I think Wes watches a minute of anyone's first video on youtube, then turns it off and post his immediate thoughts and doesnt budge from them.

Not too far off!!!

 

[Keefe]

Holy ****...just watched that Okobo reel above. The kid looks good as ****. No joking. See people, this is why you watch more than 45 seconds of highlights before dismissing a player.

Okobo it is!!!

 

[The Midnight]

I'd say Okobo's shot is pretty similar to D'Angelo Russell's shot... (who incidentally is on Wes' fantasy basketball team)

You mean the fantasy league that I won?

EAD.

 

[Keefe]

Sign me up for Okobo!

He’ll be a top 3 player in this draft.

Book it.

 

[Keefe]

I see a lot of Eric Gordon in his game.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Mitchell and Okobo on the floor together could be pretty lethal. They can both attack from just about anywhere. Then play Exum as a 3/D wing.

 

[Carbon13]

I keep showing up late to the party!! Okobo shoots like DeAngelo Russell and Grayson Allen plays like old man version (the current one) of Eric Gordon
