Following Potential 2018 Draftees

[Game6Conley]

HS class of 2021 (2022 draft) is gonna be insane and probably loaded with more than a handful of very good big prospects like this year.

2 kids named Moussa, Michael Foster, Chucks Lucky Isitua, John Butler, Franck Kepnang and Nnanna Njoku... thats 7 legit bigs I count ALREADY...


When its aroudn that time and we hit the rewind button back to '2018 pre-draft' it will be fair to ask "was Luka Doncic really the best amateur SG prospect in the world at that time?.... or was it already Terrence Clarke?"

The guy is having a really good season. He’s a little older but Clark’s stats are his per 40 best for most categories.

12.1 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.2 steals, 1.8 blocks, just 1.4 turnovers on 18.5 points per game and 45.1% from 3 on 2.5 attempts per 40. Pretty impressive.

Thing is if thats an area of need a player like Wendell Carter Jr in the 1st rd is a WAY better option.

I swear he has major workhorse / out-performer capability, IMO like Paul Milsap, especially in Utah next to Rudy.

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?

sucked in by the undertoe. He's a bit more mechanical than people hoped for, and will not get drafted, but you'll see him in summer league and the G-League for sure.

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.

I have to check him out. I'm feeling pretty good about Zhaire Smith and Troy Brown as versatile wings next to Mitchell, believing that both can improve their shooting at the next level. Smith's athleticism, in particular, would be great next to Donovan.

Given Rubio's inconsistency and Exum's injury history, I have to think the Jazz are going to look at people who can play at the 1 longer term as well.

IMO, Thomas is the best 3 and D player in college basketball. And i think his game translates well to the association. I wouldn't be surprised if he measures at about 6'4" with a 6'11" wingspan.

still love jordan barnett as a mid 2nd guy. about 65% of his shots are threes, plays defense, great athlete. 19 and 11 last night vs Arkansas on 5-7 from three. shooting 42% from three on the season.

let's just say some miracle happens and the Jazz win one of the top 3 picks in the draft, who would be your top 3 picks?

not in any particular order... assuming Porter Jr is healthy and no concerns going forward,

PorterJr
Doncic
JJJ

(edit) actually, that is probably the order. again, assuming there are absolutely zero health concerns with MPjr.

 

[Eminence]

Doncic
Bagley
JJJ
Porter

Doncic
JJJ
Porter (assuming medical stuff looks okay)

Would be my 3 in order.

Pretty good piece from a friend on PGs in the draft:



Disagree on a couple things, but a lot of worthwhile insight/stats. I'm not really buying Shamorie/Tookie like a lot of 'Draft Twitter', think Shamet can make it as a PG, and would probably have included Graham/Adams as close enough to be worth giving an HM.
