Following Potential 2018 Draftees

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Different player than O'Neale- you draft Okogie in hopes he can create offense from the guard position- both for himself and for others, being a 19 year old with a much higher ceiling than a guy like o'neale.

Initially, at 21 it will be tough finding an upgrade to Royce and if they do, they've drafted very well.

True, but if you're looking for a guard/wing who can create offense, Okogie isn't quite on the same level as a few other guys. Okogie projects to be a really solid defender who can straight-line drive, finish at the rim, draw fouls at a high rate and hit open jumpshots.

I'd take JJJ #1 overall.

 

[Game6Conley]

I'd take JJJ #1 overall.

Rumor has it he's been near automatic from 3 in workouts..... I have a feeling were gonna see some top 5 trades

 

[Game6Conley]

Isaac Bonga's in this draft.

JJJ the best player in draft.

 

[seattlejazzfan]

Probably worth a shot in rd 2.

Isaac Bonga's in this draft.

 

[Park Bites]

Dang this draft is so strong in the top 5

Doncic
Bamba
Ayton
Porter
JJJ

are pretty darn good

 

[seattlejazzfan]

Good year to be top 5, crappy year to get the #1 overall. #5 could very easily be better than #1.

I don't like the idea of Phoenix trading down, still getting Ayton and picking up assets. They could get decent in a hurry.

I'd take JJJ #1 overall.

Or at least top 3.

I have the opposite feeling. I don't think anyone in the top 5 wants to trade. Phoenix seems locked in on Ayton. The Kings will zero in on someone. The Hawks desperately need a franchise level talent and can get one at 3. Memphis desperately needs to keep 4, they can't afford to trade out. Dallas needs young talent. And the top 4 or 5 in this class is so good that I don't think anyone at the top will want to move.

Not sure that's any different than most years. Look at last season. Philly was just stupid to take Fultz. And to compound matters they gave up assets to do it. Boston laughed all the way to the bank with Tatum.

It's always good to have #1. You get to choose anyone. So if you think Doncic will be better than the bigs, you take him. If you think it's JJJ or Porter, you take that player. The draft "experts" may be saying Ayton is the best prospect, but that's why a team employs scouts and has a GM.
