What do you think of Desmond Bane?

[EMG518]

I like him, easily a 1st rounder. He will get minutes right away and be a solid contributor wherever he goes.

[SeattleJazzFan]

Better shooting Josh Hart - that makes for a very good player.

[kobyz]

he plays like Luke Kennard

Depending on matchups, he can play a more physical style than Kennard - both offensively and defensively.

[Ruzious]

I want to like him but that wingspan really caps his potential.

At minimum he should be able to space the floor, provide some secondary playmaking and compete on defence and that's enough to get you a 10 year career. But that's more Courtney Lee and a career journeyman than anyone to get truly excited about as a fan.

His standing reach isn't much below average for a 2, so I don't expect he'll have trouble getting off his shot - especially since he has such a good step back move with a quick release - and the ability/strength to be physical in getting separation.

I'm not concerned about the shooting, I'm concerned about the defence and finishing around the rim. A poor wingspan is going to hurt him there and potentially significantly, which definitely caps his game.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but Tyler Herro has a shorter wingspan and was one of the top rookies in the NBA because of what he can do. Now, am I saying Bane is as good a prospect as Herro? No, I think Herro's on his way to becoming a special player, while Bane's more of a 6th man type.

A smaller Joe Johnson?

I won't go that far. Johnson had some really impressive counting numbers for his career - 20,000 points, 5,000 rebounds, 5,000 assists.

[KqWIN]

Might be my favorite prospect at the Jazz at #23. Reminds me of Wes Matthews/Joe Harris at the next level. His competitiveness and physical strength will allow him to be an asset on defense and I believe the shooting will translate. Will be a great spot up guy who can also make decisions against closeouts.

[the sea duck]

Better shooting Jae Crowder.

[Upperclass]

Reminds me of Eddie House and also any NFL starting Cornerback

[Monix]

Sean Kilpatrick?

eddie house? probably closer to danuel house. maybe that's who you meant.

[Alonzo_Morning]

I want him or Tillman at 24. Probably Tillman more

[PerkinsFor3]

You could still become a Memphis fan

One doesn't simply change a 30 year allegiance like that *snaps fingers*
