Following Potential Draftees - 2019 (not kidding)

Now that Kabengele is committed to the draft, he can do media interviews. Here's an interview he did at a workout in Orlando.

I liked the Kabengele. He just seems to enjoy what he does.

Add him to the list of players I would be ok with the jazz drafting

I agree. The guy looks like a poor man's Jevale Mcgee. He did hit one corner 3 but on how many takes?

I’m not even saying he can’t play, but why show the footage? Great, he can dunk. Great, he can do an interview. Oh, he hasn’t played real basketball yet? Better show him dunking on nobody for a while and talking.
 
The last two times the Jazz drafted players that hadn’t played serious basketball, we got Enes Kanter and Dante Exum. And they had played A LOT more serious basketball than this kid.

Pump the brakes a little on the hype-train.
 
Nice video on Keldon Johnson by DX.



I think Keldon was one of those guys who left a really bad first impression with me and I can't get it out of my head lol. Dude's shooting form looks like Giannis with that weird head/body leaning back like there's a 100 pound backpack dragging him down. And he moves like a less athletic Jabari Parker when he bulldozes his way straight ahead and cradles the ball like a running back. He also has that weird skinnyfat body type. I know he was a really high recruit, but I'd be disappointed if the Jazz took him.
 
It bothers me that the Spurs have worked out Samanic and Bazley and we haven't. I get that the Spurs are probably scouting for their pick at #29, but I hope we get those guys in.

I like the idea of Samanic… could be an overlooked guy due to being overseas. I'm not sure if he's actually good, but I like that it seems like it could be a pick with a little higher upside.
 
I remember the opposite. I also don’t know how anyone “loves” Ball.

Ball a good prospect as a glue guy but he not a superstar and you have to deal With his idiot daddy. If his daddy would practice what he preach, and stay in his lane and accept his role as glue guy then he could be a solid player.

Solid, maybe. But I’m not sure he’s even worth his rookie-scale salary, and “solid” is a far-cry from “love”.

We are living in the dusk of the ballhandler that can’t shoot. It almost doesn’t matter how good you are if you’re not a big and can’t hit an open shot consistently or confidently.
