Following Potential 2018 Draftees

I still want a 4 to rebound, say at least 7 - 8 rebs per game. Some of these converted wings won't do that. It's one of the reasons that Boston isn't an elite team yet.
 
This is a huge point. Jazz do need a 4 that can rebound well

Boston doesn’t have Gobert... we are fine with a guy like Bridges at the 4.
 
I just wish he had a longer wing span that is all. His standing reach is pretty pedestrian but he makes up for a lot of that with athleticism. Don't get me wrong I would not complain if the Jazz drafted him. I just think he might be more of a bullish 3.
Yeah and the year is going to be 2018 and bullish 3s are now called 4s.
 
Here is my attempt at a big board entering the conference play. Didnt spend a ton of time on it, and probably already disagree with stuff on it, but I think it represents what I believe loosely.

I think I'd take Simons over Walker. Just seems to be more advanced as a creator off the dribble, which raises his ceiling in my mind.

Just read an interesting article on Mikal Bridges (can't connect it because I am at work) but they compare Mikal Bridges to Otto Porter and I think that was a spot on comparison. Great 3 point shooter that plays great defense
 
Yeah, I hate judging players based purely off high school videos, but whatcha gonna do...

I kind of like the mystery there though... some of these guys raise their draft stock quite a bit in college so u might get some value... opposite is also true but we are mining for gold.

If Simons can translate his shot to the NBA, then I think he’ll be really good. Usually guys HS tapes show dunks and layups - evidence of them being superior athletes. I love it when the tape shows them shooting it from all over the court. Those are guys worth keeping an eye on.
 
I've marked the date in the calendar when Isaac Bonga comes to my town. Gonna be interesting to watch him in person.
