You’re leaving off the part about elite althleticism, insane length and great defender. But, yeah, y’all frame the narrative however you want.

Anfernee Simons and Jazz rookie Donovan Mitchell are very close. I asked Mitchell about Simons after a Lakers preseason game in October: "He's talented. He can score at all 3 levels. The main thing I talk to him about is just defense because scorers are easy to come by, scorers who play defense aren't. I've been talking to him a bunch. I wish him the best of luck. He's just a talented kid. Athletic. Knows where to be, knows the game, and I think that's rare to find in a kid that age. He has a bright future."






^^^^^^ this is who the Jazz need. It just so happens he's close with D. Mitchell too...

I agree 100% on Troy Brown. Most overrated player projected in the 1st round. I am praying that Brown and Holiday are picked before 21 by some stupid teams and it pushes better prospects down to us. Troy Brown has NO ATHLETICISM. He can't shoot. He cannot play D. He has ideal size for a wing and is a good passer and has a good handle but he is going to be exposed in the NBA.

Gordon, is that you? Seriously, lots of people were saying the same thing about Gordon Hayward, who incidentally also shot 29% from 3-pt as a soph. Troy Brown's numbers as a freshman in the Pac 12 are comparable to Jaylen Brown. Troy isn't the same athlete obviously, but he has better ball skills.

He'll be fine, though I agree his ceiling will come down to how well he improves his shooting. But the dude is only 18 for crying out loud.

Ultimately, it's a non-issue. Brown will probably get picked several spots above the Jazz if the Jazz stay at 21. He's in play as high as #12 to LAC.

Yeah, I think Memphis wants a win now piece that we don't really have. Like a Kevin Love or Derozan or something. Their GM really wants to win 50 games this season.

This is so short-sighted... wow. Memphis has become a dumpsterfire. What the hell are they doing?

This is the first time I've looked up Brown's numbers but am I reading this right? He scores 11.3 ppg and shoots 29% from college 3's?


Correct me if I'm wrong but to me those are VERY mediocre numbers.

Go look at what Mikal Bridges put up as a freshman and as a sophomore.
