a detour. There
1:00
are three players in
1:02
this NBA draft, in the
1:05
top 10, whose shooting numbers
1:07
are so bad, my numbers
1:09
say you can't draft them.

1:41
On today's edition of Locked On Jazz,
1:43
we debut the 2024 NBA draft by
1:45
the numbers first look, a
1:47
system that's now six years old
1:49
and rather successful. Three
1:52
players in the top 10 of this
1:54
draft, shooting numbers, are as worse than
1:56
any players I have ever
1:58
seen in six years. years and five
2:00
years of doing this and they're in the
2:02
top ten and I don't think you can
2:04
draft them. We'll give you those
2:06
guys coming up on the draft plus look
2:08
at the rest of the top ten or
2:11
eleven players in the drafts plus some NBA
2:13
notes today as we start off our draft
2:15
by the numbers for 2024. I'm David Locke

3:24
Okay. Here's the system.
3:27
Let's see if I can make sense of this for you. We've
3:31
done it in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023,
3:34
and now 2024. So we're five years in.
3:38
I've got all the angels picks for his history. Here's
3:41
how it works. At
3:44
this moment I will mispronounce. I have
3:46
never seen. I don't know anything about these
3:48
guys. I literally have never watched them. Make
3:50
sure you understand that as you hear this
3:53
show, I have never ever watched
3:55
these plays. I watched a half of Yukon,
3:57
Iowa. Probably is all I've watched. Now
4:00
we use numbers to look at athleticism
4:04
We look at three different numbers We
4:06
look at their transition percentage
4:11
We look at their transition attempts we
4:14
look at their isolation percentage percentile
4:16
really where they rank and
4:19
we look at their rim percentage So
4:23
last year some of the
4:25
best athletes in the draft we
4:27
had good athletes last year were
4:29
Brandon Miller and I'm on Thompson
4:31
and Asura Thompson and Jareese Walker
4:33
and Taylor Hendrix
4:35
and Leonard Miller all Derek
4:39
Lively all peeked out Cam
4:42
Whitmore come on Thompson again
4:44
peeked out on athleticism I'm
4:48
on Thompson probably was the best 94%
4:50
transition percentile 70% isolation 92% at the rim against lesser talent
4:56
but still It was probably the best
4:58
in 2022 Give
5:02
an idea of this our best
5:04
athletes were Chet Holmgren 93% transition percentile
5:09
96% isolation Keegan Murray 97% in transition
5:11
80% isolation Mark
5:14
Williams Center at Charlotte
5:19
Terry Eason Jalen Durn Okay,
5:22
this actually lines up right like Just
5:25
quickly to give you the idea in 2021 The
5:30
best transition the best trend there
5:32
actually wasn't Corey Kispert actually surprisingly
5:34
was good It's actually turned out to
5:36
be a really good pro This
5:39
was a weird draft Kate Thompson cage
5:41
Trey Murphy the third Krista
5:43
Ronta it was actually a Numbers
5:46
with who's also 25 Evan
5:48
Mobley Peeked
5:51
out isolation numbers the best work. Cade
5:53
Cunningham Jade Jaden saw Jalen Sog's and
5:55
Trey Murphy Trey Murphy was really really
5:57
good. Of
6:00
the top members you we got a bunch athletes. Out
6:04
Sars. And The Ninety First
6:06
present our finishing arm and limited attempts but
6:08
still. The. Cari.
6:11
For. Sheer I don't I literally have no idea.
6:14
Have never of these of at the know jack
6:16
prefer ninety two percent off down the clean and
6:18
ninety two percent up Stephen Castle in the area.
6:20
so that's okay. Cody Williams Colorado
6:22
eighty four for said the. Isolation.
6:27
Cody. Williams on fifteen attempts is the best
6:29
of the top ten but not very impressive.
6:31
and the bet Cody Williams Colorado is the
6:33
best rim. Percentile finisher. Starving
6:35
thing is obviously very very good as
6:38
well. Get so of the top I've
6:40
only done. Alex are like
6:42
here. For. Sorry. The.
6:44
Call the topics doesn't lenient?
6:46
Read: Shepherd Seven Castle. Matisse.
6:50
Zulu S. Rod Dillingham, Cody Williams,
6:52
Ron Holland.and can act and just
6:54
coby What Walker and Isaiah call
6:56
your blood on the Top Thirteen
6:58
Blaze, Of the top will
7:00
do the rest of tonight and then we'll do
7:02
a ton of the top thirteen players those and
7:05
isolate up those the some good athletes. They're the
7:07
best athletes. Look. To be Cody
7:09
Williams peaks out as the best athlete.
7:12
Of the group and. Net.
7:15
Net. Net with.
7:17
Get it? For
7:19
a lot. but Donna clean look fine. He's
7:21
also seven, three or whatever years. So seven
7:23
to. Then
7:26
we look at whether someone can
7:28
create. Playmaking. So
7:30
we look at pick and roll ball handling
7:32
and their how they do on that and
7:34
what the present dollars and that's our playmaking
7:37
stats. So last year case and was very
7:39
good. Greedy Dick in limited temps was good
7:41
kid trails and who didn't play much last
7:43
year was the Julian. Strother was good. And
7:46
the think Marcus Sasser was great and
7:48
Mark assessor turned to be a good
7:50
from the year prior. In Twenty Twenty
7:52
Two jaded Id was good, Aj Griffin
7:54
was good, Malik Guy Branum was good,
7:57
Terry Easing was good, and Zealand Williams
7:59
of Seltzer Sinclair. It was great. Seems
8:04
to like work 2021. If you want it,
8:06
Cade Cunningham, Jalen Suggs. Um,
8:10
so Jalen Suggs actually, I take it back. You
8:12
only run 17 attempts. This was a weird draft.
8:14
There was hardly, this was because of COVID. There
8:16
just weren't that many games played.
8:19
And so there weren't a lot of
8:21
data, but Cade Cunningham was
8:23
there. Uh, Trey Murphy, the third, but again,
8:25
not very many pick and rolls in that group. Cameron Thomas,
8:27
who has turned out to be a pretty good score, it
8:29
was all right. Oh, wait, that was athleticism.
8:31
Pigeon Roll, still not a lot run. Um,
8:35
the best one in
8:37
that, uh, in this draft of
8:39
pick and roll was a kid by the
8:41
name of Jaden Springer. There really just was
8:43
very limited, um, good numbers on pick and
8:45
roll on anyone who actually ran much of
8:48
any of it. Um, Chris
8:50
Durante was terrific. Kessler Edwards was, but he only
8:52
ran 19 of them. I mean, it was just
8:54
so limited in the amount of times. So if
8:56
we go to 2020 for good pick and roll
8:59
guys who actually had enough attempts that you actually would look at it
9:01
and say, Oh, that's really good. Um, you
9:04
had Tyrese Maxi was
9:08
really, was the best in that whole draft. Um,
9:10
Malachi Flynn was great. Turned out to not be
9:12
a very good NBA player. Desmond Bain was terrific.
9:15
Isaiah Joe was good in limited time, but still
9:17
was really, really good. Okay. Um,
9:20
yeah, the numbers have not sucked so
9:22
far. So to this
9:25
year, to the pick and roll ball handlers
9:28
in the top 13, I'm
9:31
giving you just this quick rundown and then we will get to
9:34
the three players who shooting numbers are so bad, but I'm giving
9:36
you kind of the system because we'll get to shooting here in
9:38
a second. Um, Nicole
9:40
Atopic who has kind of projected out of the,
9:42
he's the six foot seven lead guard, 203 pounds,
9:44
um, play the red army. He's
9:48
a very good pick and roll player. In fact,
9:50
he's probably played limited points, but he's picking roll
9:52
numbers are really good. 89th percentile, 119 pick roll
9:54
attempts. We have not had a lot
9:56
of 89th percentile guys over a hundred. Now that's
9:59
because of his league. Shepard. Eighty
10:01
pigeonholes, Ninety three percent that we've not had a lot
10:03
of that. Rod Dillingham
10:05
Hundred and Twenty six year old? Eighty
10:07
nine percentile. Pretty. Darn impressive.
10:11
Dot. And connects hundred and nine pick
10:13
and roll temps sixty seventh percentile is
10:15
not bad. Stephen
10:18
Castle at seventy to pick and roll.
10:21
Sense. Seventy four percent are not bad.
10:24
And I say I call your hundred and seventy
10:26
pickerel times which is a lot sixty two percent
10:28
of on a disappointing So good. So then we
10:30
get a shooting. And
10:33
we look at the shooting and we've looked at
10:35
really. I got a bunch of numbers but we
10:37
really looked. At three primary
10:40
numbers intuit. Spot.
10:42
At presents our. Overall
10:45
captain suit. We.
10:47
Also have unguarded catch and shoot which I
10:49
was that was musing it's not as and
10:51
sings as up and then we'd have creation
10:53
which is dribble off dribble. Off
10:55
the dribble presents. Usually.
10:58
I don't combined all three of these because I think they
11:00
say different things. The shooting is just spot up and captains
11:02
who tells you can what you need. And
11:05
then the creating is whether someone can create the
11:07
gym or shop for themselves. And
11:11
if we go back to. Go. Back
11:13
to twenty nine teams. We have to
11:15
have the data. So fun that we
11:18
have this like. the best. Shooters were:
11:20
Toby White Brandon Clark Pj Washington Cameron
11:22
Johnson Rule Oxymora Calvin Johnson. Were
11:26
all great shooters. The great creators in
11:28
that draft were Dareus Garlands. Kevin.
11:31
Porter Jr. Care. Grant.
11:35
Williams unlimited attempts. No.
11:37
Actually, not deliberate limited, but yeah.
11:39
really awesome aura and Tyler hero.
11:42
Get. Those all panned out. So
11:44
those numbers actually tell you something like consider
11:46
that we've been talking all week long after
11:48
drafted like half and half and like these
11:50
guys are all hitting it tells his of
11:52
the shooting in. Twenty. Twenty tie
11:55
resell Burton. Gavin. The cell.
11:57
Actually, if sinclair lewis was good shooter but
11:59
didn't peek out on catch and shoot so he didn't
12:01
get both. Sadiq Bay got both. Aaron Neesmith
12:04
is the best shooter we've ever seen this draft until
12:06
this year. Tyler
12:08
Terry was really good. Tyrell Terry, he left
12:11
because of emotional, I think mental health
12:13
issues. Josh Green was
12:15
pretty good. Malachi
12:17
Flynn was good again. And Jaden
12:19
McDaniels was good. Off
12:22
the bounce that year, the
12:25
best was Malachi Flynn again. He was also, by the
12:27
way, worth noting it was like 23. Older
12:30
players can peek these numbers and then that's the one thing. Another
12:34
off the bounce guy that was really good was Kyra Lewis. Generally
12:37
there was nobody off the bounce over 80, very
12:39
rarely is there someone over 80%. Aaron Neesmith
12:41
was at 77 percentile in
12:44
that was not a great off the bouncer. Okay,
12:46
that's the system. And
12:48
that's a good example where it's been crazily
12:50
successful for something that's so stupid when I've
12:53
never watched a game. Athleticism, playmaking,
12:56
shooting and creating. That's
12:58
the system. There are three players
13:01
in this draft, in the top 10
13:03
who shooting so bad, I
13:05
don't think you can draft it. Today's

16:39
TV right like
16:41
I am this very second, flipping
16:43
it on to my television. I forgot to do it
16:46
first thing this morning. Part of the lockdown podcast network,
16:48
your team every single day, just
16:50
go to Amazon fire TV. If you have
16:52
an Amazon fire slanted to the channels and
16:55
hit the green circle, it says locked on sports
16:57
today. If you do it right now, you'll get
16:59
locked on NFL draft still recapping
17:01
the excitement and craziness of last weekend.
17:03
All right, here are the
17:05
three players whose shooting numbers
17:07
are so bad as
17:10
I just spilled coffee all over my mouth, so it could
17:12
make this a very interesting effort
17:14
to try to get you your information. Is the mouse
17:16
still working? Oh, this is
17:18
gonna be really hard to do. Okay,
17:21
that's not great. Here are the three players. Whose
17:25
shooting numbers are so bad. Stephen
17:30
Castle, who if you go to the
17:32
ringer right now in their mock
17:34
draft, they have us taking him as the
17:36
second pick of the NBA draft,
17:38
obviously trading up or winning the lottery, one or
17:40
the other, not entirely sure. Castle
17:43
shoots 28% on spotups. I'll
17:48
give you their numbers and then I'm gonna
17:50
compare their numbers to
17:53
that of other players. Castle
17:55
shoots in the 20th percentile
17:59
on catch and shoot. He was 15 of
18:01
58 for effective field goal percentage of
18:03
39% on catch and shoot. And
18:07
on creation, he's in
18:09
the 26 percentile. He's
18:12
a sub 30 in
18:14
every percentile.
18:19
I only have found four
18:24
players in our five years who are sub
18:26
30 in all three categories. Okay.
18:31
Two of them are bigs. Castle
18:35
is a six foot six combo guard. The
18:39
second player who's
18:41
shooting is so bad that I'm
18:43
not sure you can draft him is
18:46
Matisse Bezoulis out
18:48
of G League Ignite a wing 6'10",
18:50
208 pounds. He
18:55
was in the 29th percentile in
18:57
spot up, 24th percentile in catch and
19:00
shoot, 36 of 117. On
19:04
unguarded catch and shoots, he was 10 of 44. And
19:09
his dribble off about as dribble jumper
19:13
off the dribble percentage is in the 30th percentile 19 of 53. So,
19:16
so far, Stefan Castle and Matisse
19:19
Bezoulis. And
19:21
the third is Ron Holland of G League
19:23
Ignite. Now, G League Ignite gets
19:25
interesting here because the fact that Ben Anderson talked
19:27
about these guys seem to take three years to
19:31
get better. And
19:33
this year's G League Ignite team was so
19:36
bad and in such a bad circumstance that
19:38
maybe we have to reevaluate some of these
19:40
numbers. He's in
19:42
the 30th percentile in spot up. He's
19:44
in the 14th percentile in catch
19:47
and shoot, 21 of 79. His
19:52
open catch and shoot, he was 14 of 49 and off the bounce,
19:54
he was 17th percentile, 22. Okay
20:03
by the way, Nicole a topic who
20:05
is 19 years old not yet
20:07
18.9 and 6
20:10
7 203 lead guard out
20:13
of Europe It was very very good
20:15
in pick and roll one of the best pick and roll numbers We've seen was
20:18
a little disconcerting on his catch-and-shoot percentile.
20:20
It was 30 percent 30th percentile His
20:24
unguarded was really bad But his off-the-bound dribble
20:26
was fought was really really good and
20:28
his spot-up was fine Leaving me to not
20:30
put him in this category not worried about
20:32
him, but step in castle 28% in spot-up
20:39
20% in catch-and-shoot and 26 percentile
20:41
not shooting but percentile of players
20:43
in off-the-bound
20:46
shooting Matisse
20:49
bazoulas 29th percentile spot-up
20:52
24th percentile catch-and-shoot 30th
20:55
percentile off the bounce These
20:58
guys are all 30 percent are blower in all
21:00
three categories Here
21:03
are the and then Ron Holland 30 and spot-up 14% in
21:05
catch-and-shoot 17% off the drill Here
21:09
are the players that in the five years we've
21:11
done this that you would recognize the name There's
21:13
players in second round, but these are top ten
21:15
players. So top first round graphics Precious
21:18
a chua case a big He
21:21
can't shoot 23rd percentile Spot-up
21:25
29th percentile catch-and-shoot 24
21:27
percent off the bounce Nas
21:33
or little okay pretty
21:35
interesting six foot four Wing
21:40
first round draft pick Portland Trailblazers is now bounced
21:42
around a Lot
21:45
of hope I liked him a lot when
21:48
I watch him play I get excited about him however
21:53
Can't shoot. What has he done in the league? Let's
21:55
look He has shot
21:58
30% from three in
22:00
his career from three, 33%. This
22:02
last year in Phoenix with all the space in the world, 30%. He
22:06
plays about 16 minutes. He started 36
22:08
games his career. He's probably working his way out
22:10
of the league. He's
22:13
one of those guys that just disappears career,
22:15
33% three point shooter. Largely
22:18
cause he had one decent
22:20
year in Portland. Okay. Ryan
22:26
Rupark, who was
22:28
a rookie last year, I believe, Ryan.
22:30
Rupark was
22:32
14 percentile, 20 percentile and 10 percentile.
22:37
He played 39 games this year for Portland.
22:39
He shot 33% from the field. He
22:41
did hit 36% of his threes. His effective
22:43
field goal percentage was 42%. He's
22:46
a youngster. He's 19 years old out of France. He
22:48
was a second round draft pick though. And
22:54
Zaire Tillman, who
22:57
is now in Boston and
22:59
is kind of this hybrid big.
23:02
Do they, you want to believe he
23:04
can shoot a little bit. He shot 26%
23:06
in his career as a three point shooter.
23:13
Those are the only four players been sub 30, 30, 30. There's
23:20
one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,
23:22
10, 11, 12, 13, 14 players. Who
23:27
have some similar characteristics of
23:31
those 14 players. I
23:35
might go zero as
23:38
those that are having successful or
23:40

25:58
you so much. All right Here
26:01
are the players in
26:04
my five-year database. Never watch these guys
26:06
play a second. Don't know anything compared
26:10
to Stephen Castle, Matisse Bezoulas
26:13
and Ron Holland in their shooting. From
26:16
last year's draft, Julian
26:18
Phillips was in the 20th
26:20
percentile and spot up 12th in catch and shoot
26:22
and 34. Top
26:24
10 pick by the Charlotte Hornets
26:27
James Booknight hasn't panned out a
26:30
leg. Booknight hasn't
26:35
panned out. He was at Project UConn. He
26:37
shot 36% his career, 33% from three.
26:42
Josh Primo was 15 percentile spot
26:44
up, 16 percentile catch and shoot,
26:46
53rd percentile off the bounce.
26:49
Booknight was 59% all off the bounce. He thought
26:51
maybe that would mean that's why he got
26:53
drafted in the top 10 by Charlotte. He was the ninth
26:55
pick or 11th pick so he wasn't touching. Patrick
26:58
Williams, the fifth fourth pick of the draft
27:00
by the Chicago Bulls who has
27:02
been okay. He has the best career of anyone
27:04
here maybe because he was a fourth pick and they
27:06
won't give up on him and he has
27:08
actually turned out to be able to shoot. So this
27:11
is the outlier in this. Patrick Williams but he was
27:13
not terrible frankly. He was 32%, 54 and 70 percentile.
27:18
Not sub 30 in all three. Precious
27:20
Ochoa we mentioned. Nico Mannion was 29%
27:22
in spot up, 28% in catch and
27:25
shoot, 54% all off the bounce. Still didn't
27:28
make it. Cam Reddish. Cam
27:31
Reddish who everybody's wanted to do so well all
27:33
these years and he's getting bounced around and tenth
27:37
pick of the draft by the Atlanta Hawks. It's a career
27:39
39% shooter and 32% from three. He was a 33% dial
27:44
spot up, 27% catch and shoot, 71% off the bounce. Nod's
27:49
are little we just talked about. Last
27:52
year Anthony Black not as bad, 34%
27:55
spot up, 41% catch and shoot, 54% off the bounce. That's not sub. 30
28:01
these are just some of the worst shooters we've ever had in
28:03
our numbers and You're
28:05
wondering what happens to the worst
28:07
shooters Anthony black in his first year played 69
28:09
games He shot surprisingly well 47
28:12
percent from the field and 39 percent from three
28:14
on two attempts a game or in one three attempt
28:16
a game So let's see if that develops Jalen
28:19
hood chafino from last year was a
28:21
22 percentile spot up
28:24
32 percentile catch and shoot and
28:27
was a percentile
28:29
on off the bounce pretty close he shot
28:32
in 21 games he shot 22 percent
28:34
from the field and 13%
28:37
from three interesting Jalen
28:40
Williams of the
28:43
Thunder the big man Was
28:46
a 31 percent spot up and 23 percent catch
28:48
and shoot. He's turned out to be a good
28:50
shooter. It's down to 13 minutes again Zaire
28:54
Williams Early
28:56
I believe top 10 pick by the By
29:01
the Memphis
29:05
Grizzlies not coming up on my charts right now
29:09
Is I or Williams 15 percent out from the
29:11
field or spot up 16 percent out on catch
29:14
and shoot and Is
29:20
50 was 53 percent out so again
29:23
not terrible on off the bounce not-sub-30
29:26
but Zaire Williams
29:29
who at times has shown flashes has generally had
29:31
a hard time making enough shots and
29:33
pulling it up for the data He's got better
29:36
In his second his second and third years in the league,
29:38
so let's just make sure we have it exactly right But
29:43
of course it doesn't want to pull up Here
29:46
we go his career is a 43 percent
29:48
shooter from the field and 30 percent from three
29:50
and Xavier Tillman who
29:53
I mentioned so there you go Those
29:55
are the players those are the work shooters. We've
29:57
seen in five years Julie
30:00
William, Dean Phillips, James Booknight,
30:03
Josh Primo, Patrick Williams, Decent,
30:06
Precious Achewah, Nico Manion, Cam Reddish,
30:09
Nazar Little, Anthony Black, Jalen
30:11
Huchafino, Ryan Rupart, Jalen Williams
30:13
of Arkansas, Zaire Williams and Zaire Timmons. And
30:17
this year's draft, Castle,
30:20
out of Yukon, Matisse
30:23
Pizoulis, and Ron Holland are
30:26
all in that group. And
30:29
quite honestly, with numbers no one else has ever
30:31
had in six years of our data collection as
30:33
bad shooters, that bad a shooter. Haven't
30:37
watched them. You can
30:39
develop a shot in theory. You
30:41
decide. But my data says
30:43
you can't draft that. You
30:45
can decide. Tomorrow, we'll look
30:48
at the rest of that top ten class because there's
30:50
actually three shooters that are guaranteed to be
30:52
five. Interesting
30:55
note on the Dallas Clipper series for tonight. Luca
30:58
Doncic is shooting 39 percent, 27 percent from three.
31:04
He is only four to
31:06
15 when Hardin's defending him and he's
31:08
really struggling when Terrence Man's defending him. Terrence Man's
31:10
had five fouls called on him in four games.
31:15
Five fouls in four games. You
31:20
have to wonder if the new way they're calling
31:22
the game, the one player who I thought would
31:24
be completely unimpacted by it was Luca Doncic. Because
31:28
he's so strong and so powerful. Maybe
31:33
not. Rudy Gobert was plus 24 for
31:35
100 possessions against the Phoenix Suns. Whoo!
31:40
Important trend in the NBA. The
31:42
Miami Heat zone being torched by the Boston Celtics
31:44
right now. Heat played the most zone of any
31:47
team in the league at 13 percent. They've
31:49
only played zone for 8 percent. They're
31:51
allowing 1.52 points per possession in the zone.
31:54
Does this mean that the zone goes by
31:56
the wayside? You would
31:58
have thought the zone would have gotten more important. in the playoffs,
32:00
it's done the opposite. And
32:02
out of New Orleans, David Griffin said, in
32:05
the past we've aired on the side of
32:07
continuity. We needed to see this group together
32:09
healthy. I think we've seen enough.
32:15
Interesting. Who
32:18
on New Orleans intrigues you as a Jazz
32:20
fan? That is locked on Jazz today. I'll
32:22
be back with you tomorrow. We'll look at some of the
32:24
rest of the numbers in the draft. We'll look at the
32:26
three players who are such good
32:29
shooters, two of them particularly. One of them is
32:31
the best shooter we've ever seen. In
32:34
the draft, tomorrow on the show, one
32:37
of them is guaranteed, one of them should be the number one pick of the
32:39
draft. Next, tomorrow
32:42
on Lockdown Jazz. Right now, we send you
32:44
