Dylan Windler

This kid Dylan Windler from Belmont is super, super impressive. He’s a lefty sharpshooter… Does that remind you of someone?

Classic. Anyway, back to Windler. He’s a heck of a shooter. He knocked down some crazy shots during the 2019 NCAA Tournament. He’s also a really good rebounder. Windler averaged 11 rebounds per game this past season! And ESPN has him listed as a guard.

He’s a clear forward at the next level, though. He’ll easily play both forward spots and is a perfect fit for a small-ball four in today’s NBA. He’ll be 23 years old by the time the season starts, which can be viewed as a negative, but he’ll be able to help the Jazz right away.

Windler makes it look effortless at times. He’s expected to be selected in the first round of the 2019 NBA Draft. NBADraft.net compares him to the late Rasual Butler, God rest his soul. Rasual was a sharp-shooting role player in the NBA for many years before tragically passing away in a car accident.

I also have to mention that Windler is from Indianapolis, Indiana. Indiana has produced so many good basketball players — that’s why it’s basketball’s state.

It’ll be interesting to see who in fact the Jazz select 23rd overall on the 20th, or if they’ll even be picking 23rd. They could trade the pick. Nonetheless, the Jazz will probably walk away from the 2019 NBA Draft with a talent.
