What's new

Following Potential 2018 Draftees

Woah, that Melvin Frazier kid. A 7'3'' wingspan. And he recently improved his 3 point shot. His defense too is insane and jumps out of the gym. He will be a player. He may get better in the open space of the NBA. Why is he being slept on?

Maybe the Jazz should just trade out of the 21 spot and find a way to get Melvin Frazier and Grayson Allen. You get more athletic and some shooting. The 1, 2, and 3 spots become very athletic on this team.
No. 7'1.75. Still ridiculous, but not 7'3
 
Also, I know bench press doesnt really mean anything towards basketball, but I still think it's a decent measure of how much a player probably puts into the weight room.

Melvin Frazier is nearly 22 and can't bench 185 a single time.
Some if that is the ridiculously long arms.(edit: just saw this has been said a million times) But yeah, dude could stand to get stronger.
 
#LockeWatch ... someone finally brought to his attention the new rule about trading non-guaranteed contracts.

Also... he likes Mo Wagner! I still remember the interview DL gave when he said "the moment we traded Lyles, we knew we will be searching for a 6'10" big who's able to stretch the floor".... *checks out Mo Wagner's measureables* ... 6'10.5" .... *checks out Mo Wagner's 3p%*... 39% ... Okaay... :rolleyes:

I think Mo's gonna end up in the first. The lakers maybe at 25
 
If there was a way to move up and get Jaren Jackson, him and Mitchell would be the most exciting young duo in the league, easily. Perfect fit for the team.

Not in a million years is it doable without sending Mitchell the other way though, so obviously a no go. I was hoping for a while that his stock might go down to the level of #7 or #9 but that’s just not going to happen. What a player this boy is going to become.

He would be a fantastic fit. I feel like the highest we can get to in the draft is #9 but that would mean taking back Noah's contract. For Jackson, I would do that all day. Maybe Porter too. But probably not for Sexton, Trae, either Bridges.
 
JJJ, Porter or Doncic. If any of them get to 9, then you take on whatever bad contract NY wants to offload to get their pick. Otherwise don't overpay in this draft.

But only cap relief for NY in 2 years (by trading Burks and Crowder, for example). By then, Noah's contract is expiring and may actually have some value for NY. There's no way we can get to even the early teens without giving up a player we want to keep. Jazz just don't have good, young, tradeable assets.
