I know this early in the process, but I'm a Jazz fan and am excited about some outlets that have Trey Murphy III going to the Jazz at 30. He has grown like 8 inches in the last 2 years and is pretty raw skills wise but has tons of athleticism and is a great shooter and has the tools to be great defensively. Thoughts on Trey?

He's a really interesting prospect and one of those players who seems like he could be a fast riser with great workouts. The Jazz absolutely need a long, athletic defender who can defend elite NBA wings. I'm not sure you find that guy at 30, but it's the reason Chris Smith is here. Murphy III fits that category. Ditto for Alabama's Herb Jones.

Good breakdown...when workouts begin Illinois Dosummu and Italy's Gabriele Procida can make a 1st round run...Procida fits

Dosunmu is right there on the first round bubble. He has fans as high as the late teens, early 20s among teams. I think there are questions about his jump shot and what position he'll play in the NBA. Procida is trending as a second round prospect right now. His shooting numbers, at his age, are interesting, but his lack of elite athleticism means he needs to be an elite shooter, not just a good one, to get into the first.
