Following Potential 2018 Draftees

Sure, but they can't be combined to absorb larger salary (in other words, the Jazz could only absorb Jodie Meeks, which I suppose is a consideration).

So do two trades. One to eat Meeks, the second around Burks. If the TPE expires, which Washington would hold until next year, then it simply means the salary is dropped.

Perhaps. It certainly decreases the chances that the Jazz get their '18 1st outright, seems like they'd have to throw in #21.
 
Sounds like the draft is about to get crazy in terms of trades. Toronto looking to move into the top 10, Charlotte is open to moving #11, Clippers might look to package #12 and #13 to move up, Denver looking to move #14 to shed salary, Washington looking to move #15 to shed salary, Suns are probably open to dealing #16..... The middle of the first round could be wild. I don't expect the Jazz to be involved in any of the movement but it would be great if it led to someone unexpected falling to us.

He had a career-high PER of 11.9 (substantially lower than league-average) last year.

How does the ability to defend 4 positions effect PER?

He is also 22 and is getting better quickly. His role was very small last year and that is the reason for the lower PER which is simply adding up box score stats, not really all that important or a good indicator of what he can be. Him and Mike Scott were the only players to have a positive net rating for the Wizards in the playoffs this year.

He has a lot of upside and would be a great fit here.
 
shake milton's only weakness is his lack of vertical athleticism - and as a result doesn't finish at the rim very well. he knows how to play. he defends, he can create his own shot, he's one of the best long distance shooters in the draft, he has elite length for a wing, he can make plays, he can pass. definitely one of the more overlooked players in the draft. if folks are comparing him to mardy collins, they are idiots - Collins couldn't shoot and that is one of Milton's greatest strengths.

PER is an efficiency rating. As indicated by "E" and "R".

The Player Efficiency Rating (PER) is a per-minute rating developed by ESPN.com columnist John Hollinger. In John's words, "The PER sums up all a player's positive accomplishments, subtracts the negative accomplishments, and returns a per-minute rating of a player's performance."

His on/off splits are also terrible.

I wanna believe, too. I just don't know that there is much there besides faith he gets better.
