In spite of winning Pac-12 player of the year, Jaime Jaquez is failing to garner 1st round draft hype, sitting at #36 on ESPN’s big board. In some regards it makes sense. He is a 6’7 PF, who relies on a crafty old man game to outmaneuver and bully opposing defensive players in the paint. But he is not an athlete, struggles to blow by defenders, and struggles to finish over length. As a senior who recently turned 22, he does not project to be much of a scorer in the NBA.
100% agree. If I'm a team with a lottery pick, I would look to trade back for a couple late firsts to take Jaques and TJD. Jimmy and Bam lite.
