What's new

Following 2016 potential draftees

I showed u where to go to find one hell of a nasty Exum crossover. All u have to do is type in Dante Exum and Matthew Dellavedova in the rising stars challenge in YouTube, and go to th 1:10 minute mark.

Are we really using the rising star challenge as an example of his dribbling prowess. Defense is not allowed in those games at all.

Dantes handle like the most of his game are unknown. He rarely tried to do anything with his dribble.

Baldwin plays too uptight on both sides of the ball... He will learn. His handle isn't great but to declare dantes handle good and baldwins as *** is premature at this point.
 
If it comes down to Baldwin and Korkmaz, I really hope they go with Korkmaz.

OK it has been decided. I am not going to read through this full thread. I am going to irrationally want Korkmaz as the pick and if we get anything less I am going to be disappointed. If we get Korkmaz I am buying the jersey.

What do we know about Korkmaz? Not that it matters because I am all in, of course. . .

Dx just made a video on him.

In Locke's recent podcast with Pelton they boiled it down to Poeltl and Baldwin. Pelton choose Baldwin.

On an interesting note, Locke said he thinks that there is a real chance that those two will be on the board at 12. Locke then said he would add Korkmaz (who had already been eliminated from the bracket) to those other two and that the Jazz would be seriously looking at all 3.
I like all three of those guys pretty well.
I would probably rank them poeltl, baldwin, furkan

This is exactly what I was thinking when reading that discussion.

After watching basically every minute of basketball he has played since being drafted I have no idea if his handles are good or bad.
 
OK did the initial scouting:

Cons- Too Skinny, yet another Jazzfanz foray into Turkey.

Pros- Sweet neck beard, can score a little, compared to Hayward.

I'm all aboard this train. Who's driving. . .

This is not about buying in - this is about betting your house on him becoming ROY this year and NBA MVP in 2020.

Seriously though, I'm a realist. It will take us at least a year to ship Hayward off in order to give his playing time to Furkan. Rookie of the Year probably won't happen. I do think you are being too conservative about 2020, or do you just figure the sportswriters are racist against Turks?

Then we trade Poetl with compensation to #15 and draft Furkan, because we are not idiots.

Seriously though, it is likely Toronto is smokescreening with Sabonis to keep someone from trading ahead of them.

I dont see how Toronto pairs up Valanciunas with Sabonis ,strong and tough they are but their no rim protecters.....I think Deyonta Davis might be who they go after
 
In the David Locke second podcast with Chad Ford, Locke predicted that the decision at 12 will come down to Poeltl, Baldwin and Korkmaz. The implication is that Davis, Skal and possibly D.Murray are off the board (going 9 - 11). There has been little or no mention of Ellenson.

Those three -- Poeltl, Baldwin, Korkmaz -- seem to be the BPA discussion at 12. It's not terribly difficult to predict, but I'm still surprised Locke would reveal that on air.

I can't get a read on how much the Jazz like Baldwin at 12. Could go either way.
