NBA Draft 2017: Final Mock Draft: Who goes where?
23) Toronto Raptors (from LAC via MIL)- Terrance Ferguson, Guard, 19 years old
Stats per game 2016-17: 15.1 MIN/4.3 PTS/46 eFG%/1.13 REB/0.60 AST/0.23 STL/ 0.27 BLK/
Measurements: 6’7” height with shoes/184 lbs. /6’8 ¾” wingspan/8’7” standing reach
A Royal Pain Prospect Profile: Terrance Ferguson
The Raptors could lose Kyle Lowry in free agency this summer, so finding a point guard to play with DeMar Derozan is a need this offseason. Ferguson is raw, but has great defensive potential and can spot-up off of the ball-dominant Derozan. He can defend both guard spots and is explosive when attacking the rim.
24) Utah Jazz- Jonah Bolden, Forward, Radnicki Basket, 21.5 years old
Stats per game Adriatic League 2016-17: 27.7 MIN/12.9 PTS/56 eFG%/41.9 3PT%/7.2 REB/1.8 AST/1.0 BLK/1.0 STL
Measurements: 6’10”/227 lbs.
The Utah Jazz are one of the better teams in the NBA at finding and developing talent which makes them a great landing spot for Bolden. He was named as the Adriatic League’s top prospect by showing an inside-out game that makes him suitable for the modern four. Bolden can score from the perimeter and uses his athleticism to finish in the paint. His measurables and quickness give him high defensive potential if he can stay focused. Utah would find ways to utilize his strengths, and Rudy Gobert is a great frontcourt partner to have coming into the league.
