Brantley finished with 22 and 11. Announcers said he was one of the 2 best players they saw all tournament, if not the best. Reese's All Star game win, 3x3 championship, PIT championship. He's definitely making the most of his offseason thus far.

JB has done all he can.
Doubt he gets drafted. He will have a tough decision with the G-league. Though with his "winners mentality", unmatched work ethic he just needs to get on a roster and grind his way up. The PIT was a perfect microcosm of that. He was on the bench in game 1 but the coach quickly recognized his importance. Game 2 started and by Game 3 dominated the game.

The MVP thing is kind of nonsense. Clemons is a shoot first PG. Held true to form and took a million shots. He didnt facilitate for anyone really but himself and the team almost lost game one because of it.

Though beneficial for us, always felt the bulking up was a blind alley for JB. Can he survive as a 4 in the league? He is so small. I guess as a poor mans Draymond Green.

The next showcase for Jarrell is hopefully going to be the G-League Elite Camp, May 12-14.

Up until this year, the top five players from the PIT earned an automatic invite to the combine. It's a shame that's no longer the case because Jarrell would've been in. Now, the top 40 players (regardless of class) are invited to the combine, and remaining prospects go to the G-League Elite Camp. Best players from that camp get invited to join the combine May 15-19.

No G League Elite Camp invite for Brantley. Good news is, Adam Zagoria reports Jarrell has workouts scheduled with at least 10 NBA teams.

Not sure if Jarrell getting drafted but he is definitely getting a contract.

Dont know if there is a big difference between getting drafted in the second round and just getting signed as a free agent(a la Joe Chealey).

Final top 120 big board from Sam Vecenie (60 draft spots + 60 two-way spots) has Jarrell at 89, just below Tacko Fall. So he projects as a two-way candidate like Joe. With how many teams JB worked out with, his best case scenario would be a team takes him with a late 2nd round pick to get him under team control. The draft is pretty deep so team preference could determine who goes where that round. Fingers crossed that Brantley hears his name called on Thursday, but I would expect to see him in summer league no matter what.

Justin Wright Foreman taken by the Jazz as well. So cool they will be teammates

Such a terrific selling point for Earl and the program two straight years a young man gets a degree and is going to be on a roster in the NBA

So proud of Jarrell. Still underestimated all the way up to the draft, and a team makes a trade up to grab him. The Jazz are going to be good this year, and need cheap young players. Jarrell, Wright-Foreman, Miye Oni and Utah's undrafted free agent pickups are all on non-guaranteed deals so they'll have to fight for their roster spots, but this seems like a pretty great landing spot.

The summer league team is going to be fun. JWF and Brantley already have their chemistry down.
