Following Potential 2018 Draftees

[whatthe]

Exum has better speed and tools, but Brown seems to see things ahead of time and has interior game that Exum doesn't. I think Brown can learn all the skills of his position.

 

[whatthe]

Maybe we can get a pick from the Clippers somehow? Oh well, Troy is moving up the boards too much. It was a nice fantasy.

I don’t see Brown and Exum as very similar.

Brown can improve his shooting... at 21 all these guys are gonna have flaws (hell at 1-2 they have flaws)... it’s just a matter of how fixable those things are.

 

[whatthe]

Their frames are similiar and that is it. Brown seems more skilled than Exum. I think he has a higher ceiling. The only thing Exum has on him is footspeed. Not decision making, not shooting, nothing really. I think Brown will be a better player if he lands in a good team with a system.

 

[Jingled]

please no to Huerter.

What is it you don't like about Huerter? I'll be happy if the Jazz take him, he might be the best shooter in the entire draft.

Yeah, I think he is going in the 15-20 range. Probably need to move up.

I think Brown is Thicccc doe... Exum is wiry. Brown a 3/4 and Exum a pg or wing. I don’t see it really at all but what do I know.

If Okobo was there I think I’d want him over Huerter. But I am intrigued by Hueters fit and potential on our team.

 

[Park Bites]

I'd be pretty shocked if the Suns took him. They have a lot of wings who cant shoot already (Warren and Jackson). I bet they try to go for a more traditional PG at 16. Okobo, Brunson, Holiday (he's already had 2 workouts for Phoenix), Sexton, and Shai G-A. I bet it's one of those 5.

Bucks consistently draft on potential, so I could see them ignoring fit/needs and going for Brown.

apparently the Suns have told Ayton they are taking him and he is shutting down his workouts

 

[whatthe]

I see Brown as a 1 to 3 with the potential to grow into a 4. He would be a better ball handler than Exum. His decision making is better, faster and he is not a straight line runner like Exum. There is some wiggle and deception. It is hard to say it, but the number 5 pick/Exum is just a role player.

21. Utah Jazz

Kevin Huerter
Maryland
Age: 19.7
SG

Height: 6-foot-7 | Weight: 182

Utah is reportedly in the market for more shooting prowess, and there is talk that the Jazz are very high on the 6-7 wing who has elevated his draft stock considerably with a strong showing at the combine.

Huerter's size, feel and upside could be intriguing at this stage of the draft. He's younger than some of the freshmen projected to be drafted, and fits the type of character the Jazz like to bring into their organization.
