No, they still haven't ruled out his return to the court for Mizzou this season. If his back checks out I can't think of a single scenario where the Jazz would pass on him at #5... It's ludicrous to even entertain, If the Jazz take Michael Porter Jr they are gonna get an A+ in everyones book and everyone will say they had one of the best drafts...

Porter Jr provides them with this insanely deadly look with him at the 4 next to all the offense below and with Rudy above... To me, honestly, I like that **** better than if u swapped Porter Jr for Gordon Hayward, that small-ball 4 look will be more viable..

Porter Jr is ready to be extremely efficient in year 1 as an NBA player.. He's Tatum levels of polished, which is an absurdly high standard... He can be slotted in on most teams immediately as a top-3 scoring option and can put up near 15ppg as a rook int he right situation..

He would probably be the favorite for the ROY on Utah too...
 
Jevon Carter from West Virginia is an interesting senior prospect. A 6-2 lead guard that gave Trae Young hell last week. He is shooting 40% from 3 on 5 attempts per. He is also shooting 85% from the free throw line on 5 attempts per game. 7 assists per game also. He was an amazing defender on Young.
 
In the second round Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk could be a steal. He is 6'8" senior that will turn 21 in June. He is super young (enrolled when he was 16) for his class and is shooting 47% from 3 on 7 attempts per game. Most impressive is the 1.3 steals per game. I don't think he is a defensive stand out but he might be able to hold his own with the right coaching.

Would never draft him.
 


Damn. That sucks. Hope he beats it... One of the good things about being an athlete - they are more likely to get tested regularly and for an illness to get caught early, which gives much better chance for remission.

Awful for that young man. Had several family members that have had Leukemia... it is just brutal.
 
Another example of why you should enter the NBA draft if you are projected as a first rounder (I'm pretty sure he was at least). Hope dude gets better.
 
Andrew Jones keeps getting all these little **** injuries, for several years running, and now he's got leukemia...

He's a really good kid too...

This is one of the more upsetting headlines I've had to read in a long time, and I read 10 articles on basketball every day..
