Hood is the future of the Jazz. Does having 2 Haywards on the floor sound appealing to anyone? Two Gods?

Beast. Love the kid and his game.
Hood hasn't played well against competition this year. Now, with a few more games under his belt, it will be fun to see him against Baylor.
This is my stab at what I think the Jazz's projected draft board looks like at this juncture of the college season. What do you guys think?
1 Davis -- defensive phenom who can play out on the floor
2 Drummond -- big-time talented big, you have to take him
3 Jones III -- a guy who can create mismatches and either score or feed the post, Lamar Odom type
4 Kidd-Gilchrist -- all-around, high-energy player
5 Q. Miller -- tall SF with passing & scoring upside
6 Barnes -- shooter with some upside
7 Henson -- back-up PF/C, stretch-Armstrong defender
8 J. Lamb -- quick, gifted shooter
9 Beal -- well-rounded back-court player
10 Rivers -- back-court energy player with ability to get to the rim
11 T. Jones -- rebounder/defender, a big, physical SF or back-up PF with some post-up ability (a slightly bigger Millsap)
12 T. Ross -- Alec Burks with a more confident shooting stroke and a bit more explosiveness around the rim
Somewhere around 7 - 9, the Jazz would probably pick Sullinger and/or Thomas Robinson as part of a draft-day trade scheme.

Not bad. I'd move Henson down a few spots and I'd move TRoss out and replace with Rivers.
I still put Barnes over K-G.
I've got them very close. Love K-G's intangibles, but I've still got this feeling that Barnes is going to get tons better. Barnes is just a little mentally weak, imo. Similar, but not as bad, as TJones, Drummond, and a couple others.
Barnes just has a pro game. That is why I like him. I feel like everything he does will translate.

I like him, it's just...his ball handling scares the crap out of me. Every summer he goes to the CP3 guard camp to improve his handle, yet I never see anything different from him. It's like he just views ball handling as a way to get his man off balance so he can take a fade away jump shot from 20 feet out. He doesn't seem aware of the fact that you can use ball handling to GET TO THE RIM for an EASY shot.
