Following Potential 2020 draftees

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Since he guards 4s who are 4+ inches taller than he is.

Uhhh, so? He isnt playing out of position anywhere. He's 6'4 with a 6'10 wingspan and 225 lbs. The dude has modern 4 size. Him playing the 4 is very much playing in position, since he isnt skilled enough to be a typical ball-handling wing.

Offensively he's more of a 4 than anything else. Defensively he can guard 2-4, so I dont see how its out of position.

I've seen multiple sources say the intangibles are terrible there. Beyond what I was personally told. I liked him early on but I'm totally out now.

lmao, what does that even mean?

 

[Game6Conley]

There is some consensus that Saddiq Bey could be similar to Kris Middleton, a legit 3D wing with size and some offensive versatility.

eh.... i dont like this comp tbh.. used to tune in to see kris middleton at texas a&m and watched plenty of Bey over the years... their situations in college were pretty much polar opposites, with Bey having a loaded supporting cast and Middleton having no supporting cast with the entire defense prioritizing not letting him get clean looks from 3.... their strengths and weaknesses were very different... it's just hard for me to imagine they end up similar in the pros..

I can't watch the Niang/Bradley combo anymore. It's so brutal.

Draft Achiuwa.

Royce plays out of position? Since when lmao.

See what Gallinari did to him today?

Edit: Gallinari had 11 points in the 1st quarter, including 2 3s, a dunk with an and-1 and another layup at the rim. Royce is giving up 5 inches, and Gallinari just scored over him like he was barely there.

Jazz need some size, length and athleticism, but they also need someone more skilled than Achiuwa.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

If the Jazz could get a commitment from Christian Wood in free agency, it would probably be worth dumping Mike Conley's contract to make room for him, even if it cost the Jazz a pick to do it.

Mitchell/Royce/Bojan/Wood/Gobert would be a decent lineup.

In other news, the Jazz could move up to the #21 pick by Monday.

Not really

The Jazz literally just need two league average backup bigs who have size are athletic and can defend. That's it.

Achiuwa is one of the few players in this class who is capable of switching 1-5. He's also one of the few players in this class with the physical tools to defend big wings like Bron, Kawhi, BI, Tatum at a high level.

We don't need him to shoot 5 threes a game, we don't need him to initiate plays, we don't need him to create off the bounce. We have Mitchell, Bogey, Ingles, Conley, Clarkson to fulfill those needs.

We just need two guys who are big, athletic, can defend and can rebound.

I don't think people truly understand just how detrimental Bradley and Niang are when they are on the floor.

Tony Bradley got clowned by both Steven Adams and Nerlens Noel and fouled out in 12 minutes. Niang is shooting 3/15 in two games so far, and two of his makes were from garbage time today. I think people get the general idea.
