What's new

Following potential 2014 draftees

I just want to say that some people need to realize that we all love the Jazz and want them to get better. We can have differences of opinion without the name calling. I come here to discuss the Jazz and not listen to middle school nonsense.

Mark Titus from Grantland;

I will need to summon all the self-control I have to avoid using this entire space to gripe about how underused Vonleh was in Tom Crean’s offense at Indiana. I could write about how he was the best low post player in the Big Ten yet he seemed to get the ball on the block only two or three times a game. I could write about how Yogi Ferrell made just enough deep 3's in transition that Indiana didn't seem to care that he missed two of those same shots for every one he made, and how those possessions could’ve been steered in Vonleh’s direction. I could write about how Stanford Robinson had more Big Ten games with double-digit shot attempts than Vonleh had.

Which makes it all the more remarkable that Vonleh averaged 11.3 points and 9.0 rebounds (best in the Big Ten) last season despite only playing 26.5 minutes and operating in an offense that rarely featured him.

I will be the bigger man here and say I'm sorry for talking about Vonleh and not knowing the whole situation. This really made me rethink, honestly I think the reason I was so against drafting him is because the Jazz already have Favors and Kanter. With the Jazz coming out and saying they see Favors as a center, they might be foreshadowing drafting a power forward at #5.

The Jazz saw him at a private workout in New York last week and they will get him in for a workout sometime in the next three weeks.

All of this being said, Kanter could be on his way out. A Vonleh and Favors duo will co-exist better then a Favors and Kanter duo I believe.

White Chocolate's big board as of today;

1. Joel Embiid
2. Jabari Parker
3. Andrew Wiggins
4. Dante Exum
5. Aaron Gordon
6. Noah Vonleh
7. Marcus Smart

-Embiid
-Parker
-Wiggins
-Vonleh
-Exum

I'll change this 4-5 more times.....
