Official 2015 NBA Draft Thread

I like many others said "anyone but Lyles" many times in these forums. I thought the odds of him getting picked were minuscule.


Well, welcome to Utah Trey. I trust Dennis more than I trust my own instincts, so I'm hoping that this high IQ stuff is a reality (always nice having high IQ bigs on a team).

Plus he's Canadian!!!! Woot. Let's hope he becomes, at worst, Josh McRoberts.

Arent Looney and Lyles kinda the same role? Seems pointless.

Lyles is more of a true stretch 4/wing to me. I think he'd work well in a PnR.

Delon Wright to Toronto?

Wow.

Classic Toronto, snagging another wing who can't shoot

Ya, welcome to utah Trey. I think I got excited with all the talk about trades and Jazz being aggressive. Sorry about that. I'll try not to bad mouth you again unless the Jazz decide to boot Booker because they have you.

Spurs to select Nikola Milutinov with 26. I selected him with 45 in our mock draft. Nice pick.

Looney really dropping....to the point he shouldn't have come in the draft.

ESPN has been right about 10% of the time tonight on who they think will get picked.

So what role would you see Looney playing for this team? 4th string PF?

Think the Lakers will take Looney?

I think Lyles can play the 5 a bit coming off the bench. Booker is likely here only one more year so there's some minutes. He could probably swallow some minutes from Baby Sap as well.

Guess what I'm getting to is Looney gives you the ability to play some small ball but with length. I think he could play multiple positions coming off the bench. We're not looking for a starter this late, but I have to think that Looney is better than a parade of ten day contract players that round out our roster.

What do you like about Rozier?

His strength and instincts make him an interesting nba prospect, he's a change of pace for sure. He can press, he's relentless defensively, you'd have to be ultra-competitive to play defense like that.. he handles like an east coast guard, shifty and fearless, shows good hands, quick feet and good anticipation. plus he's very explosive, when I first saw him dunking I thought it looked kinda Steve Francis-esqe. he's was by no measure efficent offensively but he pulled his weight for Louisville, and he' can get hot, he 'flashes' enough for me to like the gamble.

I did think he was a better NBA prospect than Andrew Harrison coming into the college season FWIW.

I dont see a role for another Rookie on this team unless we make a trade.
