Following Potential 2025 Draftees

The Jazz Wonderbra said:
Fears Weaknesses on the video included:

Poor ast/tov and poor decision making...
Low FG% in particularly from 3
Finishing... which is just dumb since his best skill is getting from A to B on the court but that doesn't matter if you cant finish...
Defensive liability that can only guard 1 position which doesn't translate to the playoffs...

Combine all of that and it is just a no go for me.

High Ceiling is nice but it is a very low floor. He comps like Monta Ellis...

If we draft Fears tomorrow and dont get a very very solid asset with him, I am going to be peeeeeyisssed. If we get Fears with the 21st pick I am ok with that because he is really young and there is consensus upside even if I dont see it yet.

In his defense, he's barely 18 and he's running a team in the SEC. I think a lot of those weaknesses will be sorted out as he matures. The question is -- is this the archetype the Jazz want at the 1?

To switch gears and talk about the 21st pick, what are yalls thoughts on Jase Richardson? I think we brought him in for a workout.

He's the son of former NBA star Kyle Lowry..... er, Jason Richardson. He's very skilled. The combination of limited size and athleticism poses a challenge.

There are a bunch of good picks at #21--e.g., Traore, Fleming, Sorber, Clifford, Powell, and yes, Will Riley possibly. It sounded as though the Jazz are going to try to move up from #21 to get a second lottery pick. Maybe a player like Sexton + 21 moves us up.

This isn't Traore's last 10, but last 15 (was easier to find). I standardized it to be per 32 minutes since that seems to be the average amount the top college players are playing

19.4pts, 2.2reb, 6.5ast 50/43/69 shooting splits

I'm bumping this post since it has been surprising to me that Traore hasn't risen any. He had a very long good stretch that didn't seem to give him any lift. He was extremely productive and efficient over the last 5 months on a bad team in a good league. He's not my favorite type of prospect, so I kind of get it, but I still think he has some real upside.

Think his bad start soured alot of people on him, me included. I probably need to go back and watch his recent games to see how he looks. He just seemed very similar to Collier.
