Meet
Projected#51 Quincy Acy
Posted by: Jazzed uponit on June 21st, 2012
The author's views are entirely his or her own and may not reflect the views of the Utah Jazz.Obviously he would be a late 2nd rounder but im really starting to like this guy as a prospect. He is sooo underrated. The scoop on him so far is every team thinks his size is too small and all they see are dunk highlight reels at the offensive end and with no perimeter shot and they think he cant defend the perimeter. So teams are shying away.

But I think this guy is going to be a force in the NBA off the bench possibly even a starter. Some analysts knock his perimeter defense and say he is lazy. I dont think so. He has just been thrown in the post because of shot block ability. He has the speed to gaurd the perimeter and hes got a great motor and at the energy level that Amare Carol brings . Possibly even a Faried. His phyisical stats are off the charts. And not just Vert, quickness and strength. At 6′7 His standing reach is 8′ 10.5″ . To put that in perspective Anthony Davis’ standing reach is 9′0. He has the 2nd biggest hand size at 11 width and 9.5 long next to Royce White, which is big deal on defense . One thing that makes Kaui Leonard for the spurs so good on defense and rebounding is handsize. For that matter Royce White should get a look too.

We don’t need more dunks and post players… We need shooters. If he can’t shoot he can;t play.
No
im thinking about defensively with Acy. he can defend any sized player inside and out and blocks and rebounds much better than evans
@ Patrick i do like Tomas Satoransky’s game. good basketball IQ, good team player.
well I don’t think evans is our problem. he hadly saw any minutes as it was last year so I kind of think its low on the priority list to see who would be a better player than evans.
So if we’re talking about replcing evans I guess so… it really doesn’t matter much. Unless evans can start hitting an outside jumper and playing the 3 really well, he has no plave on this team anyway. Evans is slow defensively, if he all of the sudden got quick and started playin an ak type game then he has a place in the league, but as it sits he’s a tweener and not athletiv enough to play the 3 and perimeter defense from what I’ve seen, so roll the dice for this other guy I guess. Not a big enough issue to worry about i don;t think
watching the video he is a hussle player and has something about him… Could be worth a look, definitly looks more player all around than evans.
yeah jake. I dont think Evans soley as a problem, but Im thinking because hes cheap , he could be part of a package involving a trade where the other team is reducing cap space and we pick up other picks. Like if boston wanted to trade one of the 21 or 22 pick and we packaged evans somehow in it. Then we would pick up like Wroten with boston pick and Acy with 47. Theres a few other bigs I like that can hit the 3 , but Acy could be legit at the NBA level.
Jeremy Evans brings it everytime he gets on the floor. For his price tag, he is good to have. He is also freiend to one Gordon Hayward. But for a guy we dont play he does quite well.
Almost 1 block, 2 rebs, 2 ppg in 7 mins, is not a liability at all.
Evans is athletic, but he gets physically worked in the post. and he hasnt learned to gaurd the perimeter yet. I like his price tag , but there are people at the same tag and positon that can shoot the 3 and or defend better physically in the post. Blocks are great its unfortunate that alot of Evans blocks are from behind a player vs. in front due to being physically pushed out of position.
I dont want to advocate Acy as our premiere option for the #47 pick . There are plenty of guys like Machado that fill our gaps better, I just think if there was a trade for picks and Millsap was used that leaves room for the role of another hustle player. Or if jazz pick up an extra 2nd round pick, I think Acy will find minutes being a solid hustle player and defender on alot of teams. A little more rare of a find than a skills position backup.
