Following Potential 2018 Draftees

[Jingled]

I think the Jazz would gladly draft Brown or KBD

I agree about Brown but I disagree about KBD. I think that Diop is likely still on the board when the Jazz pick and I think they'll pass on him. Just from the stuff I've read, it seem there are a number of guys that the Jazz like more than KBD, including Huerter and Donte D.

I said all these same things about Hayward when we drafted him. Versatile 6'7" wings are valuable. Brown can do a bunch of things. I'll say this, I think he'll probably be a better player than Harrison Barnes when it's said and done. It's because he has good feel, IQ and some PG skills to go along with his size.

That's why I like the 21st pick tho, even if the draft turns out about as bad as it possibly could, the Jazz should still get a player I like.

My true nightmare is the Jazz draft Aaron Holiday or Jalen Brunson. Then I would be in a dark dark place.

Yep, I'm with you here... I think those are 2 of the players that are mocked in the 20s with consistency that I wouldn't like.

If Anfernee Simons could grow a few inches and gain 20 lbs, he could be amazing.

25-years ago I said the same thing about me...just 20lbs and a few inches....

I mean, really amazing. I'm sure you're amazing just the way you are though...

Mocks are all over the place on who the Jazz take

Espn- Elie Okobo
The ringer- Kevin Huerter
SB Nation- Dzanan Musa
Bleacher Report- Keita Bates Diop
Sports Illustrated- Troy Brown
Tankathon- Shake Milton
Nbadraft.net- Kevin Huerter

 

[Revolution 9]

The positive talk of Troy Brown is gross.

 

[Revolution 9]

The Ringer updated their mock draft guide.

They have us taking Huerter... with KBD on the board... Okobo goes 19 to the Hawks. https://nbadraft.theringer.com/?_ga=2.199703725.2096164455.1528150172-1297364285.1505926307

I'd be thrilled with this result.

 

[TheStormofWar]

According to a compilation by SBNation, the mocks have the following taken by the Jazz at 21:

ESPN: Okobo
SBNation: Dzanan Musa (who?)
B/R: KBD
SI: Troy Brown
Tankathon: Shake Milton
CBSSports: Omari Spellman
NBADraft.net: Huerter

The positive talk of Troy Brown is gross.

No decent gm is gonna spent 2 roster spots on exum and brown, their redundant. The paul peirce comp is top 5 cringeworthy comps made in this thread and perhaps #1.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Just want to say that Jerome Robinson is a dramatically better offensive player than Grayson Allen. Robinson was 2nd in the ACC in scoring behind Marvin Bagley and carried his team offensively consistently facing traps and double teams. His defense is a question mark, but the idea that the Jazz would draft Grayson Allen ahead of some other guys who proved more as younger players seems ludicrous to me.
