Following Potential Draftees - 2019 (not kidding)

I like Paschall but I have concerns about him too. I'm not sure that his outside shot translates. His mechanics are so wonky. His legs are all over the place when he shoots it. It's not a repeatable form. It's also a slow shot that takes him a while to load up. I have concerns about his lack of rebounding production. I also have concerns about him defensively. He was a solid college defender but his movement on film is a little rigid. And his body is so wide he's gonna get stuck on some screens.

I do like his bball iq a lot. And his ability to faceup, handle and drive.

Overall I see his upside being a rotation player. I'm with Catchall that we need to aim higher on the upside meter.

I grew tired of not being able to complete this so I just completed it.

I like that you have your own thoughts rather than consensus of public mock drafts.

I like Paschall but I don’t think I’d have him that high. He pops off the floor and can withstand nba physicality... I’m worried about his shooting a bit. He has some weird leg movement kickout stuff going on... Jae has some similar unnecessary leg movement... not a shot dr. So who knows how much it matters if at all.

I like taking guys that played a role in college that could be very similar in the pros. I’d be happy with Eric at 23.

If we took a cent like Gafford I’d hope we had moved back and got a couple second rounders and took him with one of those picks. Like if we could move back to 33&34 with the 23rd pick and get Paschal and Gafford that’s be awesome.

I saw the same stuff on the jumper. I think he can fix it though and I like the other stuff... as a small ball four he won’t really be navigating a ton of picks and his girth will help hold his ground. I think he can be a reliable rotation piece (talking like 10 -15 minutes a night) right off the bat and that’s a huge benefit. Big swings in the 20s almost always flame out.
 
To me, just feels like this front office is going to go with an older prospect (22-23) who's more ready to contribute even if that means their ceiling may not be quite as high and they are a 'culture' fit. I think it's why guys like Jerome, Schofield, Paschall, Windler, etc. are considered in play while guys like Porter Jr., Langford, Bol are unlikely.

If there's a lottery talent that I think the Jazz would consider moving up for a la Mitchell a few years back, it's Keldon Johnson. He seems the most likeliest of freshmen we could possibly draft.
 
Of course, watch us trade out of the first round entirely and this 4+ year thread becomes an exercise in comedy.

I like it with where we are as a franchise. Guys have to be able to get some floor time to develop... if they are too raw its tough to get them on the floor with how good we are.
