Official Player Workouts for the Utah Jazz

[Doublea]

It'll be interesting to see if he's really out of shape or not.

Who is he?

Starting SF for Uconn. Best TS% of SFs in this draft class. Very good shooter, decent size (6' 7", 6' 10" span), decent athleticism, smart player (which pairing that with his pure shooting ability accounts for his impressive TS%), competes defensively.

I will fully admit that I am no expert by any stretch on these prospects, but I know what attributes I like. And I really like intelligent shooters with NBA bodies and heart. You can never have too many of them. When a player like that happens to have won multiple championships at their level, that is a nice bonus too.

DraftExpress is an appropriate name for the site; It was quick research. If anyone would care to shed more light, I'm curious.

Nice.

Who is he?

Took advantage of many open corner 3 opportunities due to Shabazz and Boatright penetration this season. Good shooter. Looks to be 6'7'' and has about the same athleticism as a Chandler Parsons type only with 1/4 of the strength and skills. Kind of a [edit] and can't dribble. A good guy to have out on the perimeter if you have playmakers and there is somebody he can match up with on the other end.

German national team player in last year's EuroBasket team. Destroyed Tony Parker's France to deal them their only loss in the tourney with clutch 3s.
Automatic from range, very high BBIQ, gives maximum effort on defense. Role player potential!

Sounds like an interesting player...

Wouldn't it be in our best interest to at least feign some interest, to gain leverage in possible trade talks?

For example if boston really liked smart and thought we might take him they might consider throwing us another pick to move up and get him, instead of knowing they can just wait for him to slide past us. Maybe I'm looking into it too much.

Yea you are looking at it too much. Ainge is going to do what he thinks is the best for the Celtics.

This. Except for the second guessing yourself part.

I don't think teams usually want to trade up just 1 spot.

It was only an example, the idea goes for anyone who might want smart.
