Jazz fans on Twitter aren't gonna like you being down on Castle š
We can only hope Jazz FO are subbed to Locked on Jazz… Fr though I hope David has someone in the org that he can share input with
I think it's hilarious that the 3 undraftable are the 3 main people I've seen linked with the Jazz š¤¦āāļø
Great stuff! I have definitely changed my view on these prospects.
You gotta watch Castle play, he has more to his game then what he was asked to do at UConn
I feel like almost every prospect in these numbers will have at least 1 huge red flag this draft, but those shooting numbers are bad.
Sometimes it feels like Locke might get some Intel from the Jazz front office to help tamp down fan base enthusiasm.
Buzelis can handle the ball and is 6ā10 with a 7ā2 wing span. I still like him and Stephon Castle and Ron Holland but shooting is a warning sign.
Risacher is pronounced: Re-saw-Shay (as in shai in SGA
Sub 30th% š¢
tough to take, but I tend to believe these geeky numbers
This is definitely great information to work with, but I do wonder what the advanced shooting stats for players like Kawhi Leonard, Jason Richardson, Demar Derozan, and Jason Kidd (in their freshmen years) would have said. Because their classic shooting stats seem comparable to a prospect like Castle.
The numbers dont always tell the story. Some highly drafter players turn out to be a bust.
