I think he'd 100% fit in San Antonio at their 7-9 pick. Having a guard like Dejounte playing next to him along with going to an organization that knows how to round out players and raise their floors would definitely play on his strengths as a player, especially since it seems that he's a more faceted player than he's shown in Memphis.

@@gremcilia_immermurin I don't disagree, Sochan reminds me of Shawn Marion in how many things he can do on the court. It's just about fit and what role you're asked to play once you go to a team. If Jeremy goes to the right team he could definitely become one of the most well-rounded players in the league, just comes down to what team wants to take a chance on him in the lottery over a guy like Duren who has a predictable impact coming into the league as shot-blocking rim runner on day 1.

@@57wookie Poeltl does a lot of great things, but he has holes as a player. Duren is a young prospect who can emulate and learn from Poeltl strengths while also learning how to be the best version of himself on both ends. His ceiling is higher than Jakob's as well. It's kind of, pick the best player, regardless of if you're already filled at that position type of thing.

Ideal fit for me would be with the Pistons. Him and Cade would do wonders and help each other out tremendously. Cade operated best last year with Marvin Bagley as a floor spacing center. Now imagine what he can do with Jalen Duren. Duren never played with a good point guard in college and mostly all of his HS career. Having Cade would help him tremendously.

That body at that age with the defensive instincts and rebounding ability if molded correctly by the right hands could be flat out scary. Especially if he becomes a real post threat. Screw the three Jalen. Play Barkley's game... Well I mean Barkley shot threes sometimes too, but you know what I mean.

Imagine a paint beast crashing the glass , catching lobs and dunking everything while overpowering other big mans with his size and strength. If you add to that,a post scoring and mid range jumper that he already has in his arsenal..I mean wow.You get a much heavier Giannis without the handles, but still that’s insane.

HI you’re definitely the best with these prospect evaluations. You break it down meticulously. I wasn’t a fan of JD earlier in the yr but he’s grown on me and I’d be happy with him if my Blazers pick lands in the 8 or lower range. I’m completely sold on Ousmane Dieng’s upside tho so he’s my 1st choice even if it’s at number 8. Might sound crazy to some but that’s how much I believe in him. Now if we move up to #1 or 2 it’s Jabari for me or trade down if we can land Duren & Dieng. #GoBlazers!! BTW: Are you a Suns fan? I think I remember you from before PHX was a contender.

I wasn’t sold on JD but he’s grown on me in the last month & 1/2. My Blazers need wings but if he lands with us I’d love to see him model his game after Ben Wallace. If elsewhere he should model it after Roy Hibbert later in his career. 😂 Great analysis once again tho. Hey I got a question for u. Say the Blazers luck into a top 3 and land PB or JS, who would u take @ #9 to put w/them + Simons, Hart, & Nassir Little to give us an elite young core? I left Dame & Nurk off cause I’m hoping we move them & build around Simons.

Great review...comparisons to Rob Williams' game are spot on...a bit taller and more muscular though...the shooting and offense will come along...needs to go to the right team that can grow him slowly, although at that high a draft projection (5-10), there's pressure for immediate return.
