Following Potential 2018 Draftees

Dang this draft is so strong in the top 5

Doncic
Bamba
Ayton
Porter
JJJ

are pretty darn good

I believe in Bagley too. Bigs are going to have a hard time staying in front of him.

Peja is how tall exactly???? He kinda looks taller than Marvin Bagley at this Kings workout. Vlade looks 2" or more taller than him

I have the opposite feeling. I don't think anyone in the top 5 wants to trade. Phoenix seems locked in on Ayton. The Kings will zero in on someone. The Hawks desperately need a franchise level talent and can get one at 3. Memphis desperately needs to keep 4, they can't afford to trade out. Dallas needs young talent. And the top 4 or 5 in this class is so good that I don't think anyone at the top will want to move.

No one is going to drop more than a couple of spots. I remember in the Hayward draft, KOC talked afterwards about trying to trade into the top-5 and he couldn't do it. There was a perceived drop-off and no one wanted to trade down to #9. I think the same happens here. The top-5, in some order is probably set.

If Doncic goes 2nd things could go quietlyh. I think its the kings who trade down for MP Jr or something like that

Peja was 6'8" or 6'9". Vlade listed 7'1"

I'd bet good $$ Peja's 6'10 or taller in shoes he damn sure isn't 2-3 inches shorter than Bagley..... I think Iremember someone saying he was taller than chris webber.

Thon's brother Matur Maker is out of the draft, will play pro and try again next year.

Kostas Antetokoumnpo's in and he's shut down all workouts.

Someone was floating a rumor that Kostas has a promise in the 2nd round from Orlando at 41.

We got Okobo in the latest Bleacher Report mock.

That mock is now sacred.

Sacré bleu!

I think Marvin is going to be great

Tony Jones responding to a question about the possibility of the Jazz drafting Anfernee Simmons at 21.

Interesting. He also seemed to shrug off the idea of Khyri Thomas, saying that he could go high or slip past 25. He's spoken highly of Melvin Frazier and Troy Brown. Has anybody kept track of Tony and Locke's thoughts on each prospect? Maybe it would give us a general idea of what the Jazz are thinking.
