Small Forwards for the Jazz

"They don’t have a single natural small forward at the top or in the middle of their roster"
Ya I would say that based on minutes per game that Brice hasn't been top or middle of the roster

Problem with Brice is he just isn’t a good defender or passer. SFs are often bringing some connectivity or switchability. Brice feels like he could eat up minutes there as a placeholder but probably isn’t his best role.

He’s not a good defender but I also don’t think he’s terrible he gives effort, also where do you get he’s not a good passer. Hes a willing passer for sure he’s got natural handles and has playmaking chops

I didn’t say he was hopeless or even bad, I said he wasn’t good (cuz he wasn’t).

Ideally some attributes come pre-installed but they weren’t with Brice.
 
Wasserman has Holland at #1 on his draft board which seems wild to me. Anyways what are the chances he can improve his shot to someone that hits his threes at at least to 35%? Or is it completely broken like Humpty Dumpty after his great fall and couldn’t be put together again.

76% FT shooter. you decide if it's broken.

bottom line is that in this league you win with scoring wings (also multi-skilled, do it all bigs). Holland as one of the youngest players in the draft (6th youngest, iirc) averaged 20+pp in the g league (5 FTAs a game when they only shoot 1 per trip to the line) and is the prototypical size, length and athleticism for a star NBA wing. Hence he has the highest ceiling in the draft and is the top prospect in the draft. He just has to show he can improve the three point shot which happens all the time - it's not a guarantee of course, but it's also not a rarity. With his 76% FT% it's a shot you have to take for a guy with his scoring prowess and positional size, length and athleticism. also a pretty good rebounder and defensive playmaker.

That’s funny because I’m a pretty good ft shooter and wildly inconsistent from 3 including midrange but I’ll hit 75-80% from the ft line. Shooting ft’s is like shooting in an open gym. I make threes all the time in open gym, not in actual games.
