Following Potential 2018 Draftees

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I really though what Michael Porter was incredibly selfish. He came back for the last game of the season and looked like trash while taking 17 shots. The only reason Missouri lost to Georgia, while having basically a home game during the SEC Tournament (its in Missouri), is because Porter came back.

Obviously there wasnt much risk for him. If he sucked he knew people would write it off as rust, but if he played a great game it could boost his stock. The thing is though, I'm not buying it was all "rust". The things he looked weak at are the things that were his weaknesses. The guy is overrated.

Adding to my draft hot takes: Both Bridges are better than Michael Porter.

Yeh, you can look at single game plus/minus and know everything.

I watched the game, he was bad and their best players didnt get as many shots/werent as aggressive as they usually are because they were trying to integrate Porter. Just because he played most of his minutes with Jontay, who played great, and boosted his +/- doesnt mean he wasnt trash.

Here's Killian Tillie in the WCC tournament. He's confident with the 3-pt shot, plays with effort on defense and has good mobility. He could be a borderline starter in the league, imo. His role might be similar to a Davis Bertans.

Good thing I reread your post because I was all ready to get all over comparing Tillie to bertans. But you said role and I would agree with that.

Every time Tillie shoots you expect it to go in. He has a beautiful looking shot.

In the video against byu (a game I watched) here is what I saw

- Tillie can give up on plays on defense.
- his leg strength is awful and he can struggle fitting for position and rebounding because of it.
- his passing this game sucked but he was making the proper pass
- I wonder about his commitment a little
- he does rotate well and can challenge shots and has good length

I think he fits what the jazz want next to gobert.

Watched this game to see mpj and he was awful. I agree with the selfish take too. I would still draft him. I think some teams are going to regret not draft mikal bridges.

I'm not sure if he's really a starter at the next level, tbh. Could go either way.

if Utah makes the playoffs and picks in the 15-20 range (or maybe even lower), do they go with a safer pick or take the equivalent of a Tony Bradley, a player who is high risk/high reward - i.e. incredibly raw but could develop.

How is Tony Bradley high risk or high reward?

 

[Park Bites]

I guess giving up Hart and Thomas was high risk but with gobert the future at center hopefully for the next decade high reward is an understatement.

Best we could ever want is a solid back up for 15 to 18 minutes a game

I was going to say Bradley could get the back up minutes next year but we still have udoh who is better then Bradley now.

I am not sure what to do with bradley
