Following Potential 2026 Draftees

Idk I see advanced metrics that match what I think and see so they must be pretty good.

LOL, in college you are playing with and against such a variety of competition that I don't think it's worth much. In the end just look and you'll see that the players who play on good teams have higher numbers and the players that play on bad teams have worse numbers.

On 7.4 attempts per game. He's a weapon.

Joshua Jefferson is a guy we don’t talk about very much who is very good also.

His offense looks fab. Would fit right into Hardy's schemes and philosophy

I think the Jazz will finish with a bottom-5 record and all but assure themselves of a top-7 pick. We just need to find 7 guys. Just a note though that some mock drafts are showing 4 or even 5 small guards taken in the top 10. That never really happens because a lot of teams are heavily invested in their current lead guard.

A few bigger players usually make a run during pre-draft and challenge for top-10 spots. I think Ament probably gets in that mix if he finishes well and does well in pre-draft. Karim Lopez could rise if he measures well and shows enough athleticism in pre-draft. Someone might also talk themselves into Chris Cenac with this draft being short on quality bigs, especially if Cenac shows decent shooting touch in drills.

Here's a better image that is not just a screenshot. You may only use this image if you generate an outrage campaign against one of our tank competitors.

RAPM is just noisy in smaller sample sizes. I wouldn't use it as a ranking of the best players, but it's still the best way to approximate "how good has a team performed with X player on the court when adjusting for the other 9 players on the court". For example, some may think that Cam Boozer is a defensive liability...and while that may have some merit, you do have to reconcile that with the fact that Duke plays extremely good defense with him on the court.

Am I blind or is this missing Acuff?
