Jett Howard

Feels like he's a bigger THJ at a minimum.

As a fan of the magic (who have taken a Wolverine in each of the last two drafts), I'm keeping a close eye on this kid's highlight videos. If his shot and handle are legit, he could work nicely alongside Franz and Paolo.

He reminds me of Paul Pierce. I've watched a few Michigan games this season. He really plays at his own pace and it seems like he can do whatever he wants and get where he wants on the court. Only thing I don't like are his heat checks from 3. I would draft him top 10

Stature wise, he kind of reminds me of a 6-8 version of AD. If he adds a good bit of physicality, you have a future high end wing on your hands.

Can someone explain to me why anyone would have Keyonte George ranked over jett?

Watching film, they seem like pretty similar players, with Jett being 6'8"...George at 6'4", and Jett has a much higher 3pt %.

I guess George seems to be maybe a little better at finishing through contact but that's it..

When was the last time a father coached his son and then the son got picked in the lottery?

I don’t know but the last first rounder was RJ Hunter coached by his dad

The Rivers? Jett needs to get tougher both mentally and physically. He's a 3-4 in the league and needs to get ready to play that. Starting to see alot of Carmelo in his game especially those teams willing to let him get iso touches.

I like him but he looks kinda small more like a 2-3 but maybe its the camera angles.

jett howard just puts up too many stinkers. i don't trust him. can't help but see bust written all over him.

13 ppg on 37% FGs in conference play. doesn't rebound his position. mediocre playmaker. just as with any prospect he could become very good, but as a jazz fan with three firsts, i'd be content with letting somebody else take a chance on him.

When I see him, he's an off ball guy that struggles on close outs. If his last name wasn't Howard, he'd be ranked lower.

Who still uses FG% for anything? He's 57% TS in conference play – that's very solid efficiency. Because he takes a ton of 3s (0.6 3PAr) at 42% and converts his FTs at almost 90% (0.26 FTr).

Metrics be damned. He is better than Sensabaugh and should be a consensus top 10 pick imo.

He's absolutely a top 10 guy for me, but he has yet to answer anyone's question about how he contributes to a team if his shots aren't falling down. He has a clear cut role in the NBA as a good off-ball shooter, but I would love to see him do a bit more out there

Love him too. But he needs to contribute in other categories , because he'll never be a solid defender.

He's also a pitiful rebounder for his size.

I get it but I think he has more value beyond simply being a spacer offball. I think it underrates his ability onball and even his ability to see the floor, but yeah he has some very obvious holes. Thing is beyond the top 2 this class is riddled with prospects with warts that would make anyone hesitant.

I'm pretty in on Howard. Doesn't need the ball in his hands a ton to be really effective, always active off-ball, can handle the ball a little bit but makes decisions fast at his best. Kind of fits into that Klay Thompson/Luke Kennard/Rodney Hood role of an off-ball sniper who can, at times, be a bit more than that on offense. Obviously that's a huge range of outcomes, but even Hood was a pretty good starter for Utah before getting hurt (I like Howard way more than I liked Hood, not as much as I liked Thompson).

If you are going to be a somewhat one-dimensional offensive player, it seems better to at least be a threat to space the floor on days where your shot isn't falling than be someone like Sensabaugh who actively harms a team by being high usage and inefficient (again, on days where his shot is not falling).

He’s kind of like a poor man’s BI.
