Following Potential 2018 Draftees

Didn’t see anything close to resemble Hood. Musa seems to have way more advanced handles, and more wiggle when attacking, and more explosive

A better offensive player than Hood? Really? Maybe we go with that. That wingspan though, it is shorter than his height.
 
A brief scan of today's draft rumors (everyone is lying)…
Dallas and Atlanta want to trade down. Dallas might also want to trade up. Denver wants to trade up, and have offered Faried to Dallas as bait. Porter Jr. has a bad hip, but allegedly Dallas doesn't mind.
First Denver wanted to use their pick to offload Faried and now they want to use him to move up?

Never said he was a better offensive player, just doesn’t look at all like Hood to me


Could be a partner if we're looking to trade up.

I was about to slander you, then realized the Hawks have two other picks, lol. I hope you were talking about one of the other picks.

If Utah's target is at 19 and they think the Wolves would grab 'em, then Utah could make a jump pretty damn cheaply. 21 + a couple of seconds (we have three incoming in the future) should seal that easily. 3 is, in all likelihood, out of range unless we give up Gobs, DM, or a combo of Rubio, Jingles, and/or Crowder and future picks (probably a non-starter for DL given they would be our own). Even then, I doubt the Hawks are looking for that and we want no part of Schröder.

I’ll say again that I think Okogie is being slept on. Hope he impresses in his workout with us.

He's an NBA athlete for sure, still only 19. Disruptive defender who plays with high energy all the time and is pretty fast in the open floor. If the Jazz can teach him to play under control and get him to pick his spots, he could be a steal. In fact, an argument can be made that it's more feasible to teach him the game under Quin's system than it is to get Troy Brown to improve his shooting and athleticism.

If Okogie shows he can shoot well in the shooting drills and finish around the rim, he'll be high on the list. His athleticism will jump off the page.
