Following Potential 2018 Draftees

[Revolution 9]

My guy is still Jerome Robinson. I just think he's the most dynamic player in our range. He and Mitchell together could be great.

KBD would be a nice fit for the Jazz.

I'm also a believer in Troy Brown.

I'm warming up to Okobo.

I want to know how complete a player Huerter is or if he's a shooting specialist.

I like Okogie and Bonga, but they're risky at #21 right now.

I'm glad you get Robinson. The kid is a baller, bucket maker, and plays with fire.

 

[Revolution 9]

There's a lot to like.

He's obviously really good at the catch and shoot, but I like how he moves without the basketball too.

Kid seems like he knows how to play the game. He's got some crafty attack moves at the rim too.

I like his highlights much more than Haywards coming out of college.

Troy Brown with a 6'10.25" wingspan and an 8'9" standing reach (assuming this isn't a typo) could grow just a tad and be big enough to play at the 4 by today's standards. He'd need to gain 12-15 lbs (currently 208 lbs), but he's likely to do that within a year or two, given his age.

Troy Brown has been 6'5 for a handful of years now, pretty sure his height has plateaued.

I gotta be honest. This draft kind of sucks. Im not loving anyone in our range.

There will probably be a guy that turns out to be decent, but it really feels like a bunch of busts and scrubs.

Might be better to just trade the pick for a future pick or something. Doesnt even look like its worth moving up. But, I wouldnt mind Miles Bridges. Denver is right there where we could move up a few spots. I wonder what it would cost.

 

[Hotdog]

If we have to make the pick. I think Im going Donte Divinvenzo right now.

 

[Miggs]

PF. Maybe even some C against small ball lineups. He has a 7'3 1/4 wingspan.

Yeah, I'm wondering more now if KBD could play the 5 much in the same way Looney's been playing it a lot. And Looney had a 7'3" wingspan.

I should say that I believe the guy with the best value from where he is mocked is Collin Sexton.. He should go higher than 9 or 10.

If the Jazz could move up and grab him that would be a steal. I just dont see them doing that because we have Rubio and maybe he isnt a great fit next to Donovan. But from a value stand point it would be a great move, and thats how we should be thinking anyways. And we could use another point guard.

So officially I say we move up if possible and draft Collin Sexton. Sexton is going to be good in the NBA.

 

[Hotdog]

Whats the feeling on Collin Sexton and Miles Bridges around here? Anyone else like them enough they think they are worth moving up for?

 

[Hotdog]

I also like Kyhri Thomas closer to our position. Would be nice if he slipped to us. He could be a decent player.

Sexton is a terrible fit for us...

Ya, I actually said that in my post.

You dont draft for fit. That is terrible strategy, and recipe for suckville.

You know who else is a terrible fit? Anyone who cant play in the NBA.

You draft best player available. Regardless of who you have or who you are as a team. You look for value. Then work it out later with a trade or something. There are only a couple handful of guys who can play and make it in the NBA out of each draft class. That couple of handfuls turns into only a handful the more the draft class ages. So that means a big chunk of each draft class is a waste of time. Go look back at every draft and see for yourself. The further you get away from the current year, the less players you see that worth even drafting.
