Sorry, it's a video of Maker shooting jumpers after the workout in Utah.

It's all good. I wasn't calling you out. I just wasn't sure if the rules didn't allow people to put the direct link or direct text from a tweet in the board.

The real decision the Jazz FO is making is between Continuity, Cap Flexibility, and Cash Considerations.

It was glorious. You don't know what you're missing.

My guess is it looked like Bismack Biyombo(I'm sure I spelled that wrong) hitting jumpers in an empty gym.

Btw, can anyone enter the 1280thezone site? I can't--getting access denied message.

I always try to avoid comparing players to HOF players and the greats, because people have the tendency to take it out of context and skew the argument to "he'll never be as good as KG" when what you've been trying to do was only to compare their style of play rather than their overall quality as players.
I can see a bit of KG-style in Maker though. The early KG who spent a lot of time on the perimeter, and then gradually changed to a more prototypical PF style of play. I can see the same trajectory with Maker when it comes to style of play. To me, I see more of a Porzingis in him with more focus on defense and worse shooting\range.

Yep, exactly... when I'm comparing players I'm comparing their styles usually, not saying they will reach that level. I don't think he will be as good as KG, but I think he can play similar hustle and hard-work game mixed in with good defense and nice faceup game.

I like him in the second, but I yah... I'd be really happy if we leave the draft with Pope and Maker. stitches wrote:KqWIN wrote:We all knew he would interview well, but nice to see that he got some good reports on his game.

I like Pope, as well.
