Following Potential 2020 draftees

You can still evaluate. It's just a bit tougher than other situations. It's frustrating at times.

I like Vassell a ton. He's the only prospect in this class that I'm sold on as a legitimate 3&D player. I buy the shot. And I buy the team defense. The individual defense is a little more sketchy. He gets blown by at times but some of it could be a product of the scheme. He's gonna need to get stronger. Offensively I just wish we could have seen him handle the ball and create off of the bounce more because I believe that his ability or inability to create his own offense will decide how good he becomes. If he has the ability or the potential ability to score off of the bounce then his upside is tremendous.

I think Josh Green will work as a 3D wing. He needs to improve his shooting, but I think it will happen.

Patrick Williams has physical tools. He's got great measurables, he's athletic and he's strong. He can move defenders out the way, and he makes some impressive plays above the rim. That's pretty impressive for a guy that young. He's got a little more ability to play on the ball than he showed at FSU, but I wish he had more ball skills. I think he'll be a 3/4 combo, but his natural talent and his potential ceiling could be similar to Jimmy Butler.
 
I want Paul Reed. He may have sub-par 3 point percentage but I think there is something there. His free throw shot is decent. To me, the question is would he be better than Favors when shooting? I think he might be. Shoot from the corners on offense and help Gobert on defense... His defense looks too tantalizing to pass up.

It's kind of frustrating to evaluate Devin Vassell and Patrick Williams because of the way that Florida St plays. Offensively there's a lot of ball and player movement so the usage ends up distributed fairly evenly. There's not a lot of dribbling and self creation. Defensively they switch pretty much everything and the team defense on the whole is extremely strong.

So it leaves you with questions. Can they do more offensively than what they were able to show in that system? Did the strong team defense mask some individual liabilities? Etc

TBF Patrick Williams looked like a possible 1st rd pick before he ever played a game at FSU..

The question is whether his jump shot is broken (like, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist broken), or if it can be fixed. If it can be fixed, he could turn into a player similar to Josh Smith, imo.

So the Jazz have to ask themselves which is more likely--fixing Paul Reed's jumpshot, or fixing Jaden McDaniels' body and attitude.

Jazz took last place in the tiebreak. That Spurs win cost us 4 spots I believe.

From 20 to 23. It was so f***** stupid to win that meaningless game.

I'm willing to bet a lot of money that a star goes at 20, 21 or 22. I just know it. I know it because I'm a Jazz fan and we have the absolute worst luck of any team in professional sports.

hey to be fair, a total dud that Utah could have their hearts set on could go 20,21 or 22 too...

I'm bummed about it but who's to say a star won't go between 23-30. It seems to happen a bit looking at the draft history. Also remember last time we were in that range with high hopes and picked Grayson Allen. That was incredibly underwhelming.
 
I don't get how Nico Mannion is ranked so lowly in the mock drafts. He's probably a top 15 prospect and will up his stock soon enough. He's been projected in the early and mid twenties.
