Following Potential 2018 Draftees

So remind me, what is forum etiquette and precedent for draft day threads? Do we post all today's draft stuff in here? Or is there a new thread started?

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.

Low athleticism and can't shoot. I'm usually wrong on the draft, but I'm not sure the upside on other skills is enough to compensate for these 2 issues. Sounds like a 2nd rounder to me.

I think the Jazz like Favors, but not enough to pay him much. The Jazz can hold off on the decision to re-sign Favors until they see what the landscape looks like, what offers he's getting, and whether it's worth going over the cap to retain him to be part of a top 3 team in the WC.

Favors may get a JJ Reddick-like deal. But only after other moves are made and they use $ between cap and LT.

Khyri provides the same spacing + the defense with additional length. Honestly not sure what makes Huerter a better prospect.

I like Khyri, but he doesn’t provide the same spacing as Huerter. Khyri is a good shooter, but Huerter is stroking it from 30 ft on a regular occasion. That literally spaces a defense out more. Look at how far out guys have to come to defend Curry. Makes a big difference for an offense.

I’m not a Jazz fan but I’d loose my $#!+ if they draft Mo Wagner or Omari Spellman 21st :)

Why? Also what team are you a fan of?

I'm hoping Doncic falls to the Mavericks or Grizzlies so I can catch some games in person.

I would prefer a draft thread rather than just continuing this one.

And then 1, only 1, thread per player chosen. I hope we don't end up having one of those situations where we have a half dozen threads dedicated to the same draft pick.

they couldn't afford them... do you dispute this? Kanter is about to opt out of almost 19million in salary next season for a bigger deal..

We would probably dispute how price is determined. I say the market determines price, things are worth what people will pay for them. I bet you guys are full of yourselves enough to think that you always know better than the market.



@NUMBERICA you show up to this thread last minute pretending like you've been paying attention. who do you think you're fooling? lol put me on ignore if you don't like my writing. You're here to talk semantics lets be honest. anyone who shows up here who read their little articles and listens to podcasts, who doesn't watch any amatuer ball has no business in this thread tbpfh cluttering it with ******** hot takes and aspersions you heard from a 3rd party that also probably doesn't watch that closely LOL.

Talk to me about basketball LOL. We should have a gofundme to bring me to Utah to beat members on this forum mercilessly in a 1v1 tournament.. get someone to make a video we'll get a hot beat and make a proper mixtape.. 6'1" 175lbs single digit body fat. 30 years old my vert in the mid 30's and I dunk in halfcourt offense and shoot lights out and dribble like an and1 player. I almost guarantee that no one here can stay infront of me. I catch bodies on the basketball court regularly. I'm the best player from my neighborhood. Second I walk on the court in my local run the regulars start barking cuz they know the **** is about to go down. I know how to do all these drills and **** they put these players thru, i used to do all sorts of crazy ****. would dribble with tennis balls all day. y'all don't know this sport like I do. I'll most likely crush you 1v1 im deadly 1v1, I score at all 3 levels with ease, my floater is lights out. i wish.

This reads like it’s written by someone who doesn’t care at all what people think of them....
 
Why would he be a good team mate with Joe? Must admit I don't know anything about this guy but that's an interesting comment.

How many times has he told us he doesn’t care what we think?

And deleted half his old posts so we can’t see them?

The lad doth protest too much, methinks.
