Following Potential 2018 Draftees

The issue is that at #21 there are going to be probably 5 people that I'd like to have. I really hope we make the right choice.

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..

Yeah it reminds me of the 2016 draft in that sense. Like I remember Dejounte Murray being mocked at 10 on some sites and he fell to 29. There was just one gigantic tier of prospects, and guys like Dejounte Murray, Luwawu, Korkmaz, Labissiere, Papagiannis, Yabusele, McCaw, Deyonta Davis, Brogdon, and some others went in unexpected places. So hopefully the same thing happens in this draft to our benefit.

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.

But I think I could tell you 10 of the top 11 with relative certainty. The potential sliders being Miles Bridges or Colin Sexton... after that its kind of a shot in the dark.

I think Walker, SGA, and Knox are all very likely gone before the 20s... Guys like Huerter, Okobo, or Musa I could see anywhere from 18-30... could see Frazier going 17-25 or in the 30s.

I think it is eye of the beholder, but I think they are high quality prospects.

I saw one mock with Musa at like 39 iirc too. But Brunson at like 25. Yeah, a ton of fluidity.

I’m warming up to the Brown idea. I just worry that two of the biggest commodities (defense and shooting) are really lacking.

He’s nice to watch though.

Yeah, that's what I meant. But Cy is right too... even within the top 10 there is some uncertainty. We don't know if Trae will go 4 or 10-12, if Porter will go 3 or 9.

I actually like this draft. Even players I'm relatively low on(KBD, Brown, Evans), I'm low on them compared to others, not that I don't like the players or that I will hate us selecting them. That's not the case. Usually there are some players I absolutely would hate for us to select(Lyles, Lydon, Bradley in previous years), but this year, I have to really think about who I would hate to hear as Jazz' selection on draft night. I kind of don't want us to take a center, but that is more to do with the newly emerging positional value dip of the 5 position, as well as the fact that we will be talking about an at best 12-15 minutes player(since we have our center of the present and the future locked in).

I keep hearing Porter Jr could drop out of the top ten.

I understand that... I think Trae's window starts at 6 and would be shocked if he dropped past 9. I just don't think the variance affects teams past say 14.

Absolutely no true centers or guys like Jalen Brunson (upside is too low at 21). I wouldn't even take Robert Williams if he dropped unless it was to trade him immediately for more value.
 
Noticed when he started naming current jazz players he said DM45, Rubio, and Robert. :D You mean Rudy Gobert son.
