Following Potential 2018 Draftees

Today is the deadline for international players to drop their names from the draft it seems. Here are some that are staying or dropping:

Who’s watched a lot of Knox?

Spent some time looking at him more this weekend and thought “damn....Bryant and Lang could really work with this kid”.

I think it all depends on where he goes.

Me.... I first saw him when he was still playing football and was much fatter than you see now. Knox is a high class development project, no doubt.

Sorry if I was unclear. I was saying that the player will have to have the ability to play defense not necessarily be a defender. So let me rephrase:

The FO will not draft a guy who is a defensive liability regardless of how great his offense is.

We got rid of a guy like Hood because we'd rather have guys like Crowder.

We got rid of Hood because of his contract and him not wanting to be here. It wasn’t just because of his defense.

Yes, but I think part of the reason for not believing he was worth what he and his agent wanted is that Hood is a one-trick pony. He shoots 3's, albeit inconsistently, is oft-injured and the "D" is missing from the 3&D equation.

I think one of the big reasons the Jazz traded Hood was his mental make up.
 
With 10 days to go feels like theres a big trade brewing in the top5. Ayton will go 1st but after that all bets are off. Bagley seems to be the slight favorite to go 2nd but the Kings have no 2019 1st and need depth everywhere.

Ya but price is always a factor Rodney couldve behaved like rick james in the late 70's off the court but if he was willing to take minimum dollars they'd have kept him.

I've seen him a ton and never really liked him. but with him, so much depends on his ability to shoot/score efficiently. was just always so inconsistent with his shooting at UK. But he's very young (one of the youngest in the draft) and has the physical tools - good length and athleticism. high risk, high reward guy in my opinion.
