Haha oh that suxxxOriginally Posted by donato
nbadraft.net has the player comparison of Herbert Jones to Wesley Iwundu. It's good to know maybe our pick will one day be terrible.
That wouldn't be as funny if we didn't already have Wes Iwundunbadraft.net has the player comparison of Herbert Jones to Wesley Iwundu. It's good to know maybe our pick will one day be terrible.
That was such a reach. Ughhh

Didi: 6'7"
NAW: 6'10"
Herb Jones: 7'0"
Naji: 7'1"
Trey Murphy III (3M3): 7'1"
Brandon Ingram: 7'3"
Unless we get some kind of super surprise where Butler is still available at 43 and we snap him up, this is the biggest ''meh, whatever'' draft of the Griffin era.
A ''he'll probably be okay'' pick at 17, a ''he'll have fun in the G League'' pick at 35.
Basketball.
Condors.
Charlotte is picking at No. 37 and JT Thor is atop the board, per source.
— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) July 30, 2021
Charlotte take Thor at 37
Butler, Sharife still available.
My only problem is we got two guys almost exactly the same size at 6’8-6’9” 205-210. But guess they play different positions, but was hoping Murphy could play a little 4. Oh well
Remember when M.M said we may not see these players this season
Listed Jones on yesterday's podcast as a guy the Pels may take in the 2nd round. They said they wanted to add local players to the new Birmingham Squadron G-League Team. Jones played for Alabama. He's got a lot of versatility to his game https://t.co/jSxF7PyW8t

Herb Jones Analysis:
Herb Jones PLUSES
Athletic at-rim finisher who thrives in the open floor. He also displays excellent awareness cutting off-ball to get open for dump-offs or lobs.
Skilled ball handler who has great passing vision. He can bring the ball up the floor off defensive rebounds. In the half-court, he could thrive in scheme screening for a dynamic shot-making guard by setting picks and rolling to the basket.
Improved his shooting mechanics as a senior and shot the best percentage of his career from 3 and the line.
Elite defensive potential as a switchable player. He can lock down quicker guards due to his quickness and fundamentals sliding laterally, but he’s also strong enough to bother bigger wings and forwards.
Good rim protection. He excels at jumping vertically with opponents to alter their shots without fouling. There’s small-ball center potential in him.
Headsy off-ball player who understands proper angles when fighting around screens or defending the pick-and-roll. He recognizes opponent actions to make proper rotations, and with his length and athleticism he frequently racks up blocks and steals.
MINUSES
Non-factor on the perimeter with the ball in his hands. Defenses will sag off him, limiting passing angles.
Though he can pass from the post, he lacks the moves or the touch to score with efficiency. In the half court, he can get a bit reckless with his dribble.
Stiff shooter who needs to prove he can become average in spot-up situations. He’s not a threat off the dribble.
His college scheme allowed him to gamble on defense, but in the NBA he’ll need to be more disciplined.
So we are drafting our G league team. Just as M M hinted
Damn would or rathered Thor if we took another forward who just went
Well yes, that's statistically probable for any second round pick.
Chicago at 38: Ayo Dosunmu, per source.
— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) July 30, 2021
Dosunmu gone at 38.
We next pick in 4: Butler, Sharife still on the board
That said, it would be so much a David Griffin move if, instead of taking swings on players who - if they hit - could really help the Pelicans, he decided to go ''let's get some local players so that we're popular in Alabama''.
Loves to play the crowd, does Griff. His first priority.
Kings are targeting Neemias Queta at No. 39, per source.
— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) July 30, 2021
That's another ''okay, fine'' draft pick there.
Butler, Sharife both still available: we pick in 3.
Entirely possible that Sharife and Butler are just refusing to get picked now. Becoming more popular in recent years for highly touted guys who end up in the second round to choose to be UDFAs so they can pick their location.
The year I was born. I can dig it man!
Be wild that we draft one of them with our old pick.
Sources: Jazz at No. 40: Jared Butler.
— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) July 30, 2021
Absolute steal for the Jazz. If he can stay anywhere remotely healthy he's an NBA player for sure.
Sharife still on the board: we pick in 2.
It's a second round pick. Chances are pretty much guaranteed that he'll be at the very best an end of the bench player.
I mean, at the very best a second round pick is the reigning MVP
Oh atleast we can have trade pick hat of shame if he turns into a great role players while we drafting for our Gleague team.
I just saw we took Butler but that was traded to the team that has our DAMN NAME
