[QUOTE]At 6-foot-3 with a 6-6 wingspan, Williams-Goss has good size for his position. He's also an improved jump shooter, knocking down 36.8 percent of his 3-point attempts last season.[/QUOTE]
Not sure that is long enough or that he is a good enough shooter for the Jazz but he can play

[QUOTE]With Deron Williams, Andrei Kirilenko, Carlos Boozer, and Mehmet Okur the glaring weakness was at shooting guard. He was the perfect fit as a shooter and scorer for a team that won 51 games the year prior. [/QUOTE]
Actually Brewer was the perfect fit
[QUOTE] It actually reminds me of how I felt about Rudy Gobert and his games in the D-League. It just seemed like he didn

[QUOTE]Apparently he was too old and not long enough or a good enough athlete to warrant a high first-round selection. So Hood slipped on draft night, all the way down to the Jazz at No. 23.

[QUOTE]the Jazz may have a tough time securing his services when free agency opens on July 1[/QUOTE]
sounds like he's theirs if they want him. Sounds like he plays little D though. Certainly a bench piece
[QUOTE=Xiao Yao You]I also posted this a couple of weeks ago for you. What can you tell us(me)?[/QUOTE]
Sobey is a quick guard, attacks the hole hard, but he's only about 6'3, so he might have some issues as a SG at NBA level, it'd just be a question of if his athletic traits are high enough to translate to the better competition. He's only ever been an average shooter for 3, usually going at 30%, but he upped that to 40% this season, he won the MIP award in the NBL this year, but he's never been a heavy minutes guy. Averaged 27 minutes for us this year, but was a real sparkplug at times (scored 15 points in 10 minutes in one game). He's been playing in Greece once our season finished and seemed to be doing OK.
Wright has said Creek is a "Tony Allen type" at NBA level. He's not a huge scorer, even for us in the NBL, but he's probably a bit like Ingles in that he can do a bit of everything on court. Will be a pesky defender and nail the 3 at a decent clip. Wright is a huge fan of his, so if he has any influence, he'd probably be pushing for him to get on the Summer League squad. He's only 6'5 though, so probably debatable if he has the speed/height to go with SG/SF NBA players.
Both were spotted while we had US scouts over to watch Terrence Ferguson play, so they obviously saw something there. Don't think either will be as good as what Ingles or Delly are, but could be decent depth guys to have on a team for cheap.
thanks for the input!
If mock drafts are on target, the most marquee prospect at Zions Bank Basketball Center was Baylor forward Johnathan Motley, who many project will be taken in the early to mid-second round. Motley was joined by Gonzaga point guard Nigel Williams-Goss, Houston wing Damyean Dotson, North Carolina forward Isaiah Hicks, La Salle guard Jordan Price and Southeast Missouri State wing Antonius Cleveland.
Several mock drafts have earmarked Pasecniks to the Nets recently. ESPN international analyst Fran Fraschilla said Kristaps Porzingis

[QUOTE] Does he select a point guard, not knowing if George Hill leaves in free agency? Does he draft a small forward and put together a contingency plan in the event Gordon Hayward leaves as well in free agency? Or does he trade his pick and secure a veteran before July 1 in an attempt to convince Hayward to stay?[/QUOTE]
You got to look to improve the team by trading the picks. A draft pick isn't going to help them immediately despite all the talk of immediate help in the draft
[QUOTE] it is uncertain if the Jazz want to have four rookies on the roster.[/QUOTE]
They haven't wanted more than two in the past. The two extra spots could mean 3 or 4 now but considering Exum, Lyles and Bolomboy still have yet to prove themselves I'd say they don't need more than 1 rookie. Need more proven vets
[QUOTE]among current Jazz players, Exum and Rodney Hood are notable players who did not visit Utah before the draft.[/QUOTE]
Hood worked out ok. Exum, Burke and Kanter not so much

[QUOTE]Gonzaga point guard Williams-Goss said he's built a relationship with perhaps the university's most famous alum, Hall of Fame floor general John Stockton.
The two worked out frequently before last season started, with Stockton giving the one-time Washington Husky a great deal of advice.
"John Stockton was a great resource for me the last two years being up in Spokane," Williams-Goss said.[/QUOTE]
And Exum and Neto still haven't worked out with this great resource
