What's new

Following Potential Draftees - 2019 (not kidding)

Louis King at Ore. is rounding into shape (after coming off a knee injury), and he's getting featured a bit more with Bol Bol being out. Look for him to rise up draft boards. He's 6'9" and looks like he's got a frame that can add about 15 lbs. He's better at attacking off the dribble and getting downhill than Kris Wilkes, imo.

USC head coach Andy Enfield has suspended freshman point guard Kevin Porter Jr. indefinitely for an unspecified conduct issue.

“We’ll reevaluate his future with the program this week,” Enfield told the L.A. Times.

“It’s very disappointing. We need all our players to be healthy and available. The last thing you want to do as a head coach is suspend any of your players, but when there’s conduct issues, we have no choice.”
 
He's probably a top 10 guy IMO. He can't really shoot from deep, but he has really advanced scoring touch and is long.

I really like watching him create his own shot. He scores inside so well. His three looks fluid motion-wise but sometimes flat. But I think he plays a lot like LaVine in that he attacks whenever he gets the ball and it often looks easy.

It would be nice to have someone alongside Mitchell who can create his own shot.
 
man, just watched Nets vs Rockets last night. Kurucs is turning into heck of a player. good find by the Nets

I haven’t watched a ton but he swatted AD a few weeks ago and I was like WTF was that. He seems to move well, shoot well, and has size.

I don’t fault our FO for missing him as there was almost no buzz on him at all... just shows that actually using those second rounders on guys that may/may not work out... you can tell pretty quickly sometimes when you are on to something.
 
It's like the slogan for the lottery..."you cant win if you don't play." What can the Jazz do with spare cash, other than increase earnings? It's not like they've been spending the money they've received for players. Jazz were bottom-3 (if not last) for around 4 years, spent in a half-*** attempt to retain Hayward and are again in the bottom half of the league. Lindsey always talks a good game; i.e. maintaining "financial flexibility" in order to be players in free agency. But surprise, every year he's astonished at the price teams are willing to pay for free agents. He's wasted/sold so many 2nd rounders. Just imagine had he found a couple of decent rotation players. The team would be better and he'd have some trade capital. Instead he has a few players he won't trade and a ton that have very little trade value.
