Following Potential 2018 Draftees

Jontay Porter is a PF/C but he's not like how Favors is a PF/C and performs admirably vs starting C's. Jontay will be ok at the 5 vs backups, he'll get eaten up vs the leagues better C's.

This whole thing where people go "oh everyone plays smallball now" lets put these dudes with 7-foot wingspans at C, it's ****ing stupid and short-sighted and for people to drop Marvin Bagley to the 7th spots in their drafts and then claim he's gonna play C in the NBA with his 7-foot wingspan -- it's all just fantastical to me..

there was all this talk about Julius Randle maybe having a 6'11" wingspan, turned out to be 7-foot, now these fools just a few years later are trying to peg a bunch of PF types with similar wingspans as C's, the game is evolving -- not that fast tho. pump ya breaks kid.

This "Small ball" theme that seems to reverberate across the NBA frustrates me to. I think Quin is all about mismatches and creating the right mismatch. This is also one of my frustration with Favors as a player. He doesn't stretch the floor enough at the 4 and you can't dump the ball to him in the post on a mismatch and say score the basketball because he is still very rudimentary in the post.

as far as Jontay goes I think he could play some 4 but I worry about his foot speed at this point in his career.
 
jazz need to do what they can to move up and draft Mikal Bridges. He would be the perfect fit. The question is what asset do the Jazz have to get a team to swap picks?
 
What ever happened to Malik Pope? He was suppose to be this 6'10" small forward. He is shooting 35% from 3 but only on 1.4 attempts per game.

He is a senior might he be worth a look in the second round?

To move up like 3 or 4 spots? Maybe Tony Bradley if a team really likes him.
 
I am all in on having Khyri Thomas in the same backcourt as Mitchell. He's my favorite SG prospect at this point who will be available where the Jazz are drafting. In terms of a long, athletic, defensive minded SG who can shoot it, i put him just below Mikal. At this point, Khyri's only glaring weakness is that he doesn't create his own offense real well. But in the Jazz system, next to Donovan, he could be phenomenal. much better passer and feel than his assist numbers would indicate.
 
WSU vs Cinn was a great game. All 3 of the guys I was watching looked solid (Evans/Shamet/Clark). Evans battled through some cramps, Shamet needed to be a bit more aggressive, but overall liked what I saw from both.

Measurements might matter more for Clark than anybody else in the draft for me. If he measures well I like him as a poor man's Draymond.
