eyriq wrote:Here is a ChaptGPT driven analysis of Jett Howard based on his percentiles.

STRENGTHS
Jett Howard is a powerhouse in terms of usage and efficiency on the Michigan squad, ranking in the 70th and 74th percentiles respectively. It's not every day you see a player who takes up a lot of possession and still maintains a high level of effectiveness. He brings a solid offensive toolkit to the floor, excelling particularly in shooting, both inside the arc with a 74.4 percentile in effective field goal percentage and outside the arc with a three-point percentile of 75.

A major highlight in Howard's game is his exceptional scoring ability, landing him in the 93.6 percentile of all players. His strong scoring tendencies, coupled with his substantial usage, make him a significant threat on the court. A testament to his versatility is his performance in assist categories, where he is in the 63.7 percentile, making him a reliable playmaker for his team.

On the defensive side of the court, Howard's blocking ability stands out, as he falls in the 76.4 percentile. This skill showcases his good timing and spatial awareness. His free throw percentile at 81 is a further proof of his all-around offensive capabilities, making him a player opponents should avoid fouling.

Additionally, his offensive and defensive BPM (Box Plus/Minus) percentiles are excellent at 98.6 and 67.9 respectively, indicating his profound impact on both ends of the court.

WEAKNESSES
Although Howard displays strong performances in multiple areas, he has room for improvement in rebounding and stealing. His offensive rebounding percentile is 5.6, and his defensive rebounding percentile stands at 20.9, which points towards a need for improvement in his positioning, timing, and physicality in securing rebounds.

Furthermore, his steal percentile of 5.6 is relatively low, indicating a need for enhanced anticipation and faster reflexes in disrupting opposing offensive plays.

While his free throw percentile is high, his free throw rate percentile of 26.3 suggests that he could benefit from driving more often into the paint and creating contact to get to the free throw line.

SUMMARY
Overall, Jett Howard is a remarkable talent who showcases an impressive skill set in scoring, shooting, and blocking. His effectiveness on both ends of the court is a testament to his balanced game. His significant offensive contribution paired with a good defensive game makes him a valuable asset for any team.

However, there's room for improvement, particularly in his rebounding and stealing abilities. If he can enhance these aspects of his game, it will considerably increase his overall impact on the court. Regardless, his scoring prowess and versatility still make him an attractive prospect who can be a great addition to any collegiate program, and potentially, a standout player at the professional level.



Well.... if these are accurate.... this paints a picture of why WeHam might have been excited.... and this is with his injury too.

so.... we will see. Can totally find us watching summer league and having a different POV :-)

you know what's funny? i guess every fanbase does this to some degree....me personally i would've picked scoot but miller is a pick i understand there.....but on twitter i saw a video with a charlotte draft party when miller was selected they all yelled "NO" in almost unison....there are always going to be people that don't like it no matter what even though on paper its a good pick

yep. i think the Spurs fans might be the only ones happy. of course, they get their 2nd generational big man. I dont consider Robinson a "generational" big man, thought he was a very very good center. Although, i think almost everyone was happy with Suggs the pick, maybe not so much with Suggs where he is at right now in his development. The thing with Charlotte, Scoot needs the ball in his hands, but so does LaMelo. not sure how that would have played out. But they were also bad at 3 pt shooting too. Its going to be the same in Portland, Lillard will have the ball but Sterling needs it in his hands to be successful until his shot comes around.

you're right, i don't think any team fans are completely happy except the spurs

Texas as a whole might be the only one. Assuming Cam hits.

We wanted shooting and we got a volume 3pt shooter. 2.7 made 3’s on 7 attempts.

Other players will look better and worse over coming seasons but can’t do anything about it. If you wanted someone else and they turn out better take it as personal pride, but cheer for Jett out of team pride.

So again the player isn't the problem it's the reach at 11. Where does he fit on the roster? How does he get minutes. What does he do aside from hit 3s. Idk I'm not completely down on this pick it's just a head sctracher.

Let me take a stab at it. You say we should have traded down? Fine, maybe we could have moved to 13 or 15. The price to go from 8 to 7 was just established. It was two seconds. We probably would have gotten something similar we aren’t getting a future first to move down 2-3 spots in the teens. There were no Hennigan level GMs in that range. So that being said our team has 8 future seconds already with a FO that hates to use 2nd round picks and put the contracts on the cap table. That value isn’t worth someone else even if it is a 10% chance of taking your guy. I am glad we have a front office that doesn’t care what the mocks are and just goes with what they think. There are a lot of GMs that are scared to go against the mocks out of fear for their jobs. That being said it could be the wrong pick but it fills a need and it’s bold.
Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

Way too slow footed for a guard but can be a big one in spot minutes. I think he will also be able to defend SFs better.

He has the handle to be both. Based on our need, I'm thinking he will challenge for the starting SG spot but also backup Franz as well.

If he's not going to be used at SG and we just drafted a backup SF then that will point towards a terrible draft strategy.

How many starters do people think we're going to have though lol. Not every pick has to be a starter. Certainly not right away.

They will certainly compete to be one though.

I still think if Suggs develops to a 35-36% three point shooter, he's the defender you need with Franz/Paolo because Jett is not going to bring that tenacious defense or rebounding which already was an issue with Paolo/Franz at times.

Jett can shoot right now. Suggs is iffy. Franz and Paolo need to be surrounded with a shooter more than a defender.

Suggs will probably start in the beginning, but Howard could take over at the first signs of Suggs struggling.

He doesnt have the footspeed to be a SG in the league. Same as we were better off Franz as our SF rather than SG last season.

He is the #11 pick, of course he is a backup with a chance to start if he can show his stuff. And yeah, we do need a capable bench SF esp when one of Paolo/Franz sits down.

I guess it matters who is at PG.

If Black can bring what Suggs does + more, then Howard makes sense at SG.

Fultz is solid, I don't have a problem with him like a lot of people have, but he's not on the level of Suggs/Black as PG defense.

I think if you are thinking of a future of Fultz/Howard/Franz/Paolo/WCJ not only are you missing rebounding (WCJ even gives up a lot for his size), but it's a bit clunky defensively as well.

I don't think Howard is a guard.

If he's not a guard, what the hell are we doing?

Oh wait, good...let's go trade for a proven guard instead of rolling the dice in the draft :D

We worked Jett out before the draft. My guess is he was a far and away better athlete in that workout than what the team was expecting. If that's what happened, then they start re-evaluating his college tape through the two bum ankles lense. If you see a guy with the skills you want but he's just not athletic enough, it would be pretty intriguing to find out that he IS, in fact, athletic enough, just not when you saw him. Just a guess but it could explain the difference between his perceived value and where he ended up going.
