Following Potential 2018 Draftees

The kid has so much talent. It's obvious even in an empty gym. I think I'd be alright drafting him as a long-term project.

His release point is a bit low, but it's quick and smooth.

Good size, length, athleticism, potential as a shooter, all around talent. Vanderbilts shot is broken- ceiling will always be limited. Diallo, is a good risk at the end of the 2nd as well- though i like Bowen's ceiling more. Diallo seems a lot like Burks from a bball iq perspective.

Yeah, but Vanderbilt is elite at something. I'd take a prospect I know can do a key NBA skill (rebounding) at an elite level over a guy I'm not sure if he has anything approaching a NBA skill.

Watching... damn, Simons is nice. He moves well and shoots it on the move well it seems.

These pro days are so soft though lol. Really low intensity. But yeah, he does look nice. When he fills out he should be a really strong athlete.

He seems incredibly fluid AND might actually be explosive in addition to being smooth.

Oh, he's definitely explosive. The question is how much his frame can fill out and how his game handles NBA physicality. He seems like a "2 years away" kind of prospect. At the very least a full year in the G-League. Maybe if he falls in the 2nd round the Jazz figure a way to trade up for him.

Perrin mentioned they might be willing to get a high potential developmental prospect who might spend time in the G-league and we would be looking to develop him to be a contributor in 2-3 years rather than right away. IMO you have to draft him at 21 or thereabout. I doubt he lasts much past that. Too intriguing.

Who knows. There are enough decent prospects in that 20-30 range teams might not want the huge project and just go for the more known commodities. If you aren't a team with a well integrated G-League system, are you going to draft him?
 
A majority of teams don't care about the length of the project as long as the project is worth it.

Who are the teams with good G-League infrastructure? I bet there are some that are picking 22 to 35-40 that would pick him.
 
There a ton of lounging around in those workouts.

Troy Brown just went through his shooting drill... I cannot pinpoint what's wrong with his shot... there is something funky about it. It looks alright at first sight, but the more I watch him the more I don't feel comfortable with it. Might have something to do with him missing a lot of those.
