Jazz need to draft Devin Booker and sign Lazar Hayward, Brendan Haywood and Paul Millsap. Let's force Bolerjack and Harpring into retirement!
Actually, they don't mind being confused and calling out the wrong player; they're used to it. Far better to start drafting foreign players with hard to pronounce names.

I would rather draft Andrew Harrison in the second round.
He's quite horrible. I don't like him... He's shooting something like... 35% for the season. He's of the Dion Waiters/Brandon Jennings ilk of players that make me cringe every time I watch them - horrible decision making, no PG skills ...for a PG, horrible shot-selection. If we are going to be taking a flyer on a second round PG, I'd rather go with Dunn(if he falls that far)...
Wow.. that's nice... to do that after a long stint away from the court too.
This.
I'm very comfortable now with who we'll get with the #9 pick (which I think is where we'll finish at worst).
There just isn't a good track record for 4th year college players taken in the lottery in recent history.

We're picking 12th. Still will get a good player, though.
Really? What makes you think it's 12th?
My thinking is we're 9th now and all teams below us are all Eastern teams fighting for the 8th seed (BOS, Brooklyn, Charlotte, Indy) with just 1-2 games between them. I just think it's unlikely any of these teams will "fade" like previous years.
Based on that logic I just think our backstop is #9.
Here's some highlights from UCAM Murcia vs Sevilla(nice pass by Neto, nice alley-oop by Porzingis):

Porzingis finished with 9pts(3/11 FG, 0/2 3P FG, 3/4 FT), 5rbs, 2bl in 24 mins
Raul Neto with the double double - 10 pts(4/7 FG, 0/1 3P FG. 2/4 FT), 11ast, 3rbs, 4stl, 0 TO in 24 mins.

Porzingis finished with 9pts(3/11 FG, 0/2 3P FG, 3/4 FT), 5rbs, 2bl in 24 mins
Raul Neto with the double double - 10 pts(4/7 FG, 0/1 3P FG. 2/4 FT), 11ast, 3rbs, 4stl, 0 TO in 24 mins.
That logic makes no sense. The Eastern teams suck and will continue to suck. Just because one of them is going to crap their way into the playoffs doesn't make them not suck. Jazz don't suck and aren't going to tank. They might have a harder schedule, but are a better team. They will continue to win games and end up with a record good enough to make the playoffs in the east and pick 12 imo.
