To me, it doesn't matter what Jenkins does in workouts as far as shooting is concerned. I know he is a lights out shooter, and a workout isn't going to change that. I want to see if he can defend and play a complete game.

Except Paul George can defend, and that is his biggest strength.

I love players like this. Some other stupid GM takes them and a good player falls to Utah. See Marvin Williams.
Wow ..
Jenkins = Not a lottery pick .. not sure how stupid of a pick he could be as the best shooter in the draft.
Jones = no surprise about his skillset/ability .. it's his desire to play all the time .. including practice and off-season .. hard to measure in a camp.

Chad Ford's latest mock says Dion Waiters will be the 8th pick, and since the Jazz are going to end up with the 8th pick, here is a video--

I can't see taking Waiters ahead of JLamb or Austin Rivers .. much less Marshall, Lillard, and another handful of SF's and PF's ..
He had a fairly poor freshman season and this year averaged around 12pts and a few boards. Shot a good overall % at 53%, but FT's at a meh 73% and the 3 at a meh 36%. I don't know that anything even remotely looks like lottery material, at least in the draft. Not saying Chad's wrong, I'm just not sure what he's seeing/hearing.

Uggh. Just that name alone makes me not to even look up Dion Waiters.

I really like Moe Harkless, has a lot of potential. Needs a bit of time to develop though.
Yes please to O'Quinn.
Considering he only blocked 3 shots per game at a small school, I doubt he can be anything like Ibaka. It's always nice to see 2nd round picks show that they realize what they have to strive to be to make in the league, workers not scorers.
I like O'Quinn and I think he would be a decent backup big guy. However, he doesn't fit a need unless the Jazz move AJ. I like the energy of Moe Harkless but his outside shooting is not very good. I admit I didn't watch too may Syracuse games but Waiters certainly didn't do anything to say I would take him in the lottery.
If Quinn is available in the 2nd round that is a good pick though. He may only ever be our 4th big, but who knows, maybe someone goes down and gets a 10-20 game stretch of substantial playing time and he does great, becoming a tradeable asset.
If there is one thing I trust KOC on, it's drafting in the 2nd round.

He's an athletic playmaker who can create his shot - perhaps a more skilled scorer than any other wing in the draft. My biggest concerns regarding Waiters would be his lack of serious production, his size and his willingness to defend (he's a playmaker defensively, but as with all Syracuse players, can he defend on the ball?). It would have been nice to see him produce bigger numbers last year (something like 18-20 ppg with 30+ minutes), but when you watch him, you can see the explosiveness and scoring ability. He only played 24 minutes a game and that team was built to have a balanced attack. Despite the 13 ppg average, he was clearly the most dangerous guy on that team.
