Following Potential 2018 Draftees

Forwards likely available in the 6 - 12 range of the draft (where the Jazz should be picking):

-- Jaren Jackson Jr.
-- Miles Bridges
-- Kevin Knox
-- Robert Williams
-- Dzanan Musa

....with a small chance that Jared Vanderbilt makes it into this group.

Interested to see how the Jazz ultimately rank these guys.

Yeah, a 6'8" teenager with his passing abilities is very rare; it's reminiscent of LeBron and Simmons. He's not the athlete those two are, but he's far and away a more natural shooter, which becomes more important every year in the NBA.

My comp for Doncic's upside is James Harden
 
More Musa. There's some risk, but if he plays disciplined and really pans out, he could be something close to Klay Thompson. He sure isn't afraid to put up shots.

After Doncic and Porter Jr., I like Knox and Jackson Jr. for the Jazz.

Knox has the potential to be something close to Aaron Gordon if he works hard, and he should be able to play either forward position. Early in the season, he's already putting up 4.7 attempts from 3 per game.

By mid-season, I think people will be comparing Jaren Jackson Jr. to Myles Turner. He already lists at 6'11", 240 lbs like Turner did at U. Texas, and he'll be able to space the floor fairly well as a 4 or 5.

So that would give the Jazz two different types of big forwards to put next to Gobert.
 
Am I the only one who doesn't really get it with Ayton yet? I've seen the videos of him with his freakish vertical. He looks like a demigod I would make in 2k. But to me he moves kind of skittish/jittery, stiff, and clunky when he's playing in a game. Like he's a great athlete, but not a great basketball athlete if that makes any sense. Then again, I've only watched a couple games and some highlights of him, so let me know if I'm way off.
 
Every time I see a Michael Porter highlight reel the more superstar potential I see. Great shot, can change direction with ease, can make those awkward shots, willing to defend & seems to have a good head on his shoulders. The thought of a core of Donovan, Rudy & Michael (And hopefully Exum if he can get healthy and stay healthy) just screams championship potential.
 
Lemme suggest one of the regulars here keep an eye on 7'1" PF Redshirt Freshman Jay Huff at Virginia.

His draft stock is going to explode..

Virginia's team last year desperately needed him, I've never been so infuriated with a redshirt situation, he'd have made a big difference in the matchup they were eliminated in the tourney from...

He was rated like 70th in the class but if those rankings would've been finalized a few months later they'd have surely revised him into the 30's or even 5-star.

He can dunk from the FT line. I'd speculate on his standing reach and wingspan but i'll leave that to the experts here.

Guy is a legit prospect too. 6th man type. This is my favorite UVA squad ever.

any SF/SG I should watch this year?

I know doncic and porter but who else?

That's the thing... noone really. Musa maybe is the closest to what we need. Mikal Bridges from Villanova is a 3&D type... Not a lot of great prospect past Doncic and Porter on the wing... Knox is a 3/4 combo forward who might be best of them all(the ones past Doncic and Porter) but I don't know if that's what you are looking for.
