#LockeWatch Locke discusses some of the players he's seen working out for the Jazz
https://www.lockedonjazz.net/jazz/d...own-of-10-best-players-in-utah-jazz-workouts/
-he likes Melvin Frazier... multiple actions defender, bona fide athlete
-Okobo - likes the name for playcalling purposes -OOOOOO-kobo! Scoring guard, question about distributing. "Perfectly impressive" - he can't see how Okobo won't be an NBA player
-Khyri Thomas - pure catch and shoot defensive 2.
-Aaron Holiday - "boy, is he small!"... and not elite athletically...
-Rawle Alkins - Compared him to PJ Tucker... might be valuable piece. Looks like a linebacker.
-Jalen Brunson - very crafty around the rim, just makes plays
-Mo Wagner - kinda like him, reminds him of Olynyk and he loved Olynyk... will be surprised if he doesn't play in the league.
-Anfernee Simons - quick, fast, smooth, 19, scorer... better know he's gonna work... very far away.
-Grayson Allen - elite athlete. he's old. Eric Gordon comparison?! (Ew, don't like that comp.)
He's tough only 6'4 tho and not really in range.

He mentioned Troy Brown in the beginning as the highest ranked player that's worked out so far - Bona fide NBA length athlete. By the numbers - Not great in transition, not great at the rim and combine numbers - bad... maybe he's not an elite athlete after all. He can handle, he can play the pnr... thinks of himself as a PG... jumpshot not good. He wonders if he's an NBA elite athlete. (this is my input - listening to Locke it didn't sound like he really likes him much)No Troy Brown or Keita Bates-Diop? But Aaron Holliday is in the top 10?
I dont think Locke has any real opinions yet outside of surface level thoughts.He mentioned Troy Brown in the beginning as the highest ranked player that's worked out so far - Bona fide NBA length athlete.

He mentioned KBD too, again mentioned he got spasms... don't remember if he said anything that jumped at me.
