Welp.. March MAdness is now March Sadness.. This whole situation is gonna cast quite a shadow over the draft...
Well, I've started checking out players for the 2020 draft. There's a handful that I like for the Jazz that I'll list here with some first impressions. I haven't ranked them yet.
Patrick Williams at FSU: Tough, defensive-minded wing in the mold of a James Johnson. If his offense develops he could be a Jimmy Butler-caliber 2-way wing. Prototypical size at 6'7" 220+ lbs.
Aaron Nesmith at Vanderbilt: 6'6" pure shooter who can hit from all over the perimeter when his shoulders are squared up. Can also hit from mid-range and has a few scoring moves off the bounce. Adequate, not elite athlete. He reminds me a bit of Caris Levert as a soph. at Michigan, but likely he's an even better shooter.
Tyler Bey at Colorado: This is the type of athlete the Jazz need on the wing-- 6'7" / 218 lbs / 7'0" wingspan. Great bounce and functional athleticism, comparable to Brandon Clarke or Larry Nance, that enables him to create advantages and finish in the paint. Still raw offensively, but has decent feel and the physical tools to be special.
Jalen Smith at Maryland: Functionally similar to Thomas Bryant as a stretch big, but with better mobility and more ability to put the ball down and do something productive. Looks like he'll be able to score in different ways and has a bit of sneaky ability to pass. He also has some rim protection and goes hard to the boards better than Bryant. He can probably play a bit at the 4 as well as the 5.
Saddiq Bey at Villanova: An interesting 6'8" shooting big with 3pt range and offensive tools. Loves to spot up. Middling athlete by NBA standards, but makes up for some of it with feel and IQ.
Jordan Nwora at Louisville: A versatile, athletic wing at 6'7" / 225 lbs who can score in a variety of ways. Offensively, his impact could be similar to Dillon Brooks, but he's a bit tougher and more active defensively than Brooks. Shooting over 40% from 3pt on nearly 6 attempts per game.

Eww, not for me.
I think you've been saying that for 3 years now.
He gives me Kerry Kittles vibes. I need to see him shoot better and do more off the dribble before I see him as an impact player.

ummmm what about him is Kerry Kittles? More Andrew Wiggins if you ask me. Still an absurd athlete who’s not a great basketball player.

I least I am consistent. I just say I like 300+ prospects and then claim.how smart I am for gett
ing 1 or 2 correct
Not sure if you remember Kerry Kittles. He was a 6'6" high-flying athlete who could slash and finish at the rim, but couldn't create much off the dribble or shoot consistently.
