Following Potential 2018 Draftees

Seems like he shot the ball well in the Jazz workout ^
Also, he's saying the Jazz are the team that has been reaching out to him a lot and that's why he wanted to do a workout with us. Interesting. Seems like we are more than interested...

I can see that. A bigger Evan Turner could be his floor. I would be shocked if he doesnt improve his 3pt shooting though. Turner was never a shooter and never acted like he wanted to become a shooter.

A bigger Evan turner with a modest 3 point percentage (30-35) is a good player. Honestly if ET could play the 4 regularly he might be valuable as a playmaking 4 even though he can’t shoot. Brown is intriguing but I doubt he’s there when we pick. I think KBD is more likely to be available.

Oh for sure... the basketball fit is kinda obvious. Seems like a well spoken kid... I think he could go to a bad situation and struggle but in our program and offense he could easily flourish if he’s a worker.

Do we think he's going to be there at 21?

I don't. I could see him going to any of the teams 13-20... I don't know what Thibs' drafting philosophy is but I assume he drafts a non-shooting big or Bruce Brown (sarcasm).

I think he goes ahead of KBD because of age.

I'm not a huge KBD fan. I would probably have Brown ahead of him too.

I like them both. I think Brown is a 3/4 and KBD will be just a 4 who is switchy.

I wouldn't be shocked if he was there at 21... would say its like a 25-30% chance. Depends on when Knox comes off the board too... if he last until 15 I think there is a better chance of Brown sliding. I could see Denver and Washington picking Knox or Brown. Milwaukee has other needs, but with Bud they might go a wing and teach him to shoot. If SA goes Okobo or Heurter I think we are in business.

I mean, we all think guys like Huerter and Okobo are rising, so someone has to fall.

KBD is 3.5 years older than Brown too.

This draft is very VERY weird. I don't think there is much consensus past the top 10-12 or so. To me at least it seems like a lot of the slotting in the 12-40 range would be by the 'eye of the beholder'... I can see surprises in the teens..

I honestly don't think there is consensus anywhere other than it seems like most people think Doncic is the best wing and Ayton is the best big. Everything else seems up in the air at this point.
