Following Potential 2018 Draftees

Even if he is the best scorer (and he isn’t), he’s gonna give up what he gets.

He’s a good player on a bad team, but I don’t think he’d be a good player on a good team. Marshon Brooks could score like crazy too. Didn’t get him far.
Tell that to the team picking at 15.

PER of 26 for Memphis last year on 60% TS for Marshon.
 
Nah, Charlotte just showed that they are fine sucking *** through 2019/20. Thats when Marvin, MKG, and Mozgov come off the books.

If I had to guess, Charlotte would trade #11 straight up somebody took Batum off their hands.

You’d take on that much money for the 11th pick which will most likely at best be a starting role player, and take any chance away from Mitchell recruiting a star? We ain’t trading that contract in the remote possibility Paul George told Mitchell yes.
Love Brown’s upside, but he’s not a “win now” pick - which is completely fine with me. Jazz need some upside coming off the bench.
Could end up plugging him into Ingles role in a few years when his production starts going down as he gets older
Poor shooting, can't really put it on the floor. Mediocre defensively, mediocre athlete, mediocre to poor ball handling, only decent length for his height, mediocre production coming out of Oregon. Really, if the jazz draft him, I'll have to hang my hat on his passing and just hope he can improve everywhere else, because he's doesnt really have much else to like at this point.
I’m not sure you’ve ever watched Troy Brown play? He played pg in high school he played some point at Oregon? How is it that he can’t put it on the floor? And every scouting video I’ve ever seen with Brown suggests he’s above average defender. He’s also 6/7 210 lb’s at the young age of 18. That body will fill out nicely allowing him to guard 4 positions. Again he’s 18, he may not have shot the three ball well, but shooting is an area that’s easily improved. It’s nnot like he’s Simmons bad where he didn’t dare even attempting one three not against the shot or game clock. There is a lot to like about Brown.
 
We know how well it goes when FO folk go to SoCal to meet with players.

I was in the car for just a minute and thought I heard sports radio guys saying Kawai is telling everyone I want out of San Antonio and if I don't get traded to the Lakers I will sign there next offseason so don't waste your time trading for me.

They only thing Kawai hasn't done to the Spurs is key RC Buford's car and leave a log in Pop's office.

Wow, that's bad. What a schmuck.
 
#LockeWatch: Locke said that Musa took control in the workout with the Jazz. He was conducting the workout and instructing the other players what to do and where to be. He thought it was very impressive for a 19 year old kid from Europe.
 
Seth Davis has some interesting stuff on certain players that he gets from several anonymous scouts. Here is what he has for Troy Brown:

Troy Brown, 6-7 freshman guard, Oregon.
“One of the youngest players in the draft. Really, really versatile. He had kind of an underwhelming year at Oregon. Came in with a big reputation. High character guy. He does a little bit of everything, but I don’t know what he does at an elite level. Has size, knows how to play, can pass. He’s super young, so it might take a year or two to figure it out. People are touting him as somebody who can defend, but he’s going to have to really work at it because he’s not a naturally elite athlete. I thought he was tougher than he is.”

Even with the questions about his athleticism, I think he should be our pick. That versatility is tantalizing.
