Following potential 2014 draftees

[[size/HUGE] fixed [/size]]

Deron improved vastly from year 1 to year 2, averaged 10.8 ppg and 4.5 apg his rookie year, then improved to 16.2 ppg and 9.3 apg his sophomore year.

Deron's physical profile >>>>>>>>>>> Trey's physical profile.

Hantlers is killing it in here.

You are aware he plays at Kentucky, right?

Definitely but we should see the same trend in Trey's game as well even if it is a lesser one. Deron only averaged 0.1 more FTA's in his first year before averaging 3.5 FTAs in his second season. That alone would improve Trey vastly.

That's surprising, and gives me hope.

I agree. I mean, part of me hopes we're patient with Trey. But I'm also more uncertain about him than any other youth. I see falling stock.

This is sounding a bit too much like the Darius Miller conversation for my comfort.

I just have a really hard time believing that a perennial backup in college who has all the talent to be great, but lacks the mental fortitude to do so, will all of a sudden become a solid player in the NBA.

Poythress is talented for sure, but I don't think he'll ever put it together. If he couldn't get motivated to start this year, then he won't amount to much in the NBA, IMO.

I love Randle. Love his intensity and his drive. My only concern if we picked him up is the spacing on the floor. It's already congested with Fav and Kanter. Unless you bring Kanter off the bench and start Randle at the 4. Does the 3 of them on the floor at the same time concern anyone else?

If Randle is drafted, then Kanter or Favors should get traded...and I would assume it would be Kanter, as a frontcourt with Randle and Kanter would be absolutely terrible on defense.

Trading Kanter/Favors should result in a good wing player, so if they feel that Randle is a better option than one of those two, then they should do that.

100% agree.

If the Jazz get Randle, then I think we're pretty comparable to the Memphis Grizzlies talentwise, although I think our guards have more upside.
