Don't worry, I still would rather have Burke.

That's what I'm really hoping. But the NCAA is abuzz about Burke and it's easy to get hung up on MCW's upside. We'll see, I guess. But hopefully the Jazz clear some wood, win at a slower rate(sucks to say), and put themselves in a position to get a much-needed piece to really move forward with.
Either way, I'm still all-in on Withey with the lesser of the two picks.
Playing well is priority #1 and nothing outside of that is really even close. If you're hoping someone else ****s up, then you don't deserve the break.
Otto Porter would be my choice if we can't get a PG.
Sign Scotty Hopson #powercircle
I like Burke, MCW, and Smart probably in that order but honestly they're all pretty good in some way. Wouldn't mind any of them, if we have a chance.
Take Oladipo in the late teens and its all gravy from there ....
Since the jazz are going to be drafting late (17 & 24 today)
here is an article about drafting players ready to contribute with late 1st round picks. I think that KOL ought to read it. Will one of you guys make sure he gets it?

May 21- Draft Lottery; June 27- NBA Draft; July 11- FA signing period begins; Oct 11- Preseaon game in Boise
MCW had a solid game with 8 assists and 3 steals against Notre Dame. He looks mid-late lottery to me.
Short list at #14: CJ McCollum, Dennis Schroeder, Archie Goodwin, Kelly Olynyk
Short list at #21: Steven Adams, Giannis Adetokunbo, Sergey Karasev, Nate Wolters
2nd round: Carmichael, Hardaway Jr., Adonis Thomas, James Southerland

Ronnie Brewer + Wesley Matthews = a very, very good player.

Oladipo was a player UK wanted. He was seen as a glue guy that would push teammates to be better. Obviously he has transcended from that into a more complete player himself. I REALLY like him, but I would be looking at him around 20 and not much higher.
