I am quoting myself "Of course this is based on the existing rules" so no, I am not forgetting. Simply pointing out that KOC is more creative than what people are giving him credit for.

i think KOC has done a pretty decent job as well. Hard for Utah to attract and keep players and we are not going to pay the type of luxury tax that a LA, Dallas, or others will. We are pretty well positioned for the future. Just gotta hope the draft picks work out and perhaps Tomic might be a decent NBA player.
 
If the Raptors win the Lottery it seems to me it be smarter to get Irving. They already have a scoring wing who is suppose to be pretty good in Derozan.
 
Raptors need one of the euro bigs more than Barnes. To pass on Jonas or Kanter and keep going with Charmin Bargnani would be an epic fail by that franchise.

In a weak draft like this it's best to take the BPA then in the next draft that is stronger get your big.
 
The funny thing about the draft is, after the next two weeks, the lottery picks will be completely different. Remember Hayward? Roy? He was supposed to go in the low 20's to the Jazz, then the NCAA Tourney happened and he went top 5. My bet is that Nolan Smith plays himself into the top 10. If Duke makes a deep run, he makes a ton of money. Jimmer is another example. If BYU loses in the first week, he probably falls out of the lottery. If they lose in the second week, he probably goes late lottery. If Jimmer were somehow able to carry his team to the final four, some dumb team would get caught up in the hype and take him early. I will seriously start looking at all of this after the next two weeks happen.
 
Ok so in that case hope Derrick Williams of Arizona has a quick and/or bad tourney, same with Barnes along with Irving and maybe Sullinger especially if we trade Millsap before or during the draft.

Its a good thing Alec Burks team (Colorado) got snubbed from the tourney. I think he could be a solid pick for 11-14

From a non buy fan/not from Utah prospective I just want to say that the rest of the nation loves the guy. He is the only superstar in the NCAA. Is he really just not going to translate? I have not seen enough, but what ihave seen is Stephen curry redux. If he even makes it to the second pick, would he really not be worth it? I agree with green though. He makes it to even elite eight and he will be a top 10 lock, maybe higher.

Definitely. I have seen enough of him to say he is going to be good. He is a very good all around player. I think he will rise into the top 10 in the combine.
