Basketball

The 2024 draft conference disappointed many people. Starting from the No. 1 pick, Rissache, almost no player's talent can be absolutely satisfactory, so in terms of rankings, there are many differences from the actual draft rankings of players. For example, the two rookies selected by the Jazz last year both had high predictive rankings before the draft.

Before the draft, Collier was once considered to be selected in the top five. The former No. 1 point guard in the United States in 2023 was finally scored only by Angie in the 29th pick in the first round. In his rookie season, he averaged 8.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists per game, and a shooting percentage of 42.2%. Although he was not as good as Kiyante George in offensive ability, as a rookie, Collier ranked first in the team per game, which is worthy of recognition.

In addition to Collier, another player may be the "highlight" of the Jazz draft last year, that is Kyle Filipovski, who was selected with the second pick in the second round. This sophomore player of Duke was called the top ten at the beginning. In the simulation list, he has always occupied a position around the middle of the first round, but no one expected that Kyle was selected in the second pick in the second round.

You should know that in order to make your draft pick better, Kyle chose to return to school after his freshman season. Although his average data increased from 9.6 points in the first year to 16.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.5 blocks in the second year, with a shooting percentage of 50.6% and a three-point shooting percentage of 34.8%. In theory, such a comprehensive data, he is a mid-range draft pick in the first round. But Kyle's mediocre physical fitness became the biggest obstacle to his improvement, and he was finally selected in the second round.

, and Kyle, who entered the league, quickly seized the opportunity during Kessler's injury days. As a 2.13-meter inside player, he averaged 9.6 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 21.1 minutes of playing time, and even played double-double in consecutive games before the end of the regular season. Especially in the game against the Trail Blazers, he made 13 of 17 shots, scored 30 points, 18 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, and performed very comprehensively.

In this summer league, the Jazz chose to let Kyle continue to play, but judging from the past few games, he may have booked a position as the first team of the Summer League Player. In the previous three games, Kyle scored 32 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 21 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, and 35 points, 11 rebounds.

In fact, Kyle performed very well in last summer league. He averaged a 16.4 points and 6.8 rebounds per game. He is one of the few 24-time rookies with great highlights besides Rockets Shepard.

From the perspective of technical characteristics, Kyle is different from Kessler's inside line that focuses on frame protection. His offensive range is very wide and he has good ability to eat cake in the Nets. Mid-range throwing is also his daily scoring method. Even outside the three-point line, Kyle can still give opponents a shooting threat, giving the team more offensive space.

Perhaps it was his versatile performance on the offensive end that in the middle of last year's regular season, Celtics General Manager Angie was willing to put Kessler on the shelves. It has to be said that Kyle's help to the team on the offensive end has surpassed Kessler even at this stage. For such an inside player with full half-time coverage, it is indeed more popular than a big man with no range in the frame guard like Kessler.

As for how far Kyle can develop in the future, for him with an average physical fitness, former All-Star player Brooke Lopez will be a good template. Kyle, who is only 21 years old this year, has already played as a starter in 27 games last season. It is not difficult to foresee that in the next season, he may have booked a starting spot. A data sheet of 16+8 per game should meet the expectations that it is believed. At that time, Kyle and Markanen, two big players with extra ability, will also make this plateau team quite interesting. What height do you think Kyle will eventually grow?
