Following Potential 2025 Draftees

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Have you seen Nembhard play basketball? I'm dead serious.

His career to this point is worth at least a late first.

He is a starter on a playoff team.

I’m not questioning Nembhard’s value, I’m questioning if you’ve seen him play basketball or looked at a stat sheet if that’s your Walter Clayton comparison.

If you knew the bare minimum about both players I don’t think you would ever make that comparison.

I thought it was more about 4 year college players, not playing style?

Why make that specific comparison? There are still lots of 4-year college players that make the NBA.

I guess I'm not sure. Nembhard did play at Florida. They are both guards. I guess I'm grasping here and I'll just let him explain himself.

Drake Powell declared and TJ said he has fans within the Jazz org. I would like him as a second rounder, think 21 might be stretch….but I can see it.

Not the most exciting or pleasant to watch, but the talent level seems pretty legit for a long wing. He probably won't last to #21.

the combination of THAT production at THAT level of bball at THAT age is rare air. back end of the lottery at worst. if he lasts until 21 you praise jesus.

 

[seattlejazzfan]

I don’t know why but he seems different than the Salauns and Diengs to me right now. Maybe it’s the stroke? The age? I don’t know, but I’m intrigued.

it's the level of competition and production. and he's younger at draft time than any of them.

Walter Clayton has some parallels to Andrew Nembhard, imo. Nembhard has been a nice contributor for Indiana.

he reminds me of jared mccain.

I didn’t make that comparison. You made it sound like Nembhard was trash or just a scrub

reminds me a lot of cody williams in terms of his lack of production and just disappearing in a lot of games but apparently has a lot of upside. so i guess in that sense it wouldn't surprise me if the jazz love him.
