Following Potential 2018 Draftees

So there were reports that they wanted to trade back up to get Young, and now they supposedly want to trade back to get him...

For one, Thomas is almost three years older than Huerter. Moreover, I think there is massive upside for Huerter should he improve his FT%. I also think Huerter could be a solid defender. Maybe not Thomas good but solid. But yeah, the near three year age gap is huge.

So age. Okay. But is age going to fix defense?

I don't see him being a huge defensive liability.

How you can say Huerter is a bad defender and Jerome Robinson is a good one is beyond what my brain can take for tonight.

I've read he's an okay defender that puts in effort. His shooting form is also better which matters. I'm guessing here, but I would think the number of shots made from 30-ish feet is in Huerter's favor as well.

I've seen both play. A lot. Also not comparing Jerome to KT

Well, maybe everyone on JF are at a huge disadvantage when evaluating players. They don't get to see workouts or interview players. People fall in love with highlights. The draft is a crapshoot
at best. Heck even the Jazz front office can't agree who to pick.

I don't think everyone is lathered up about Huerter. He is on a lot of people's list but many posters are including him with other players they like. Most every player has flaws. Personally, I am just going to sit back and watch to see what DL does. He has more information than everyone else and he still screws it up like all GMs. My hope is that the Jazz can improve their team tomorrow in some way.

Atlanta is in a great spot right now. Other teams are dying to get Doncic and Bamba and it looks like both will be available at 3. They can get a kings ransom for that pick if they want to trade it.

Hayward to Memphis, pls.

Teams are realizing they can get the 2 best players in draft at some value. Phoenix and Sacto will regret passing up on either.

oregon vs arizona about to start on ESPNU - watch and try to remind yourself why you think Troy Brown is good.
