2014 Draft Combine

[Ron Mexico]

If we ended up 5th and were going to trade Trey, I'd rather trade up into the top 3 and grab Jabari.

No team would make that deal though.

I would still go Aaron Gordon. He is the most athletic in the draft.

Wiggins doe

Randle, at 6'9" 250, with a very impressive 35.5" vertical.

For some perspective, there were only about 5 guys in the entire DX database who were at least 6'9 250, with verticals as high or higher. Blake Griffin was 6'10" 248 with the same 35.5" vert. Randle, with his size and strength is an elite athlete.

I'd say most have Exum over Smart.

I think the combine hurt exums stock a little..... but ya, most still have him ahead of smart.

The gap has shrunk between them after the combine though

I get all confused this time of year. All these guys start looking better and better. Pretty soon I am thinking, "Jazz should trade the whole roster for 6 draft picks." Or some other nonsense.

I feel ya.
I get that way too.

Trade kanter, favors, trey, and hayward for lotto picks. (Cant be tradin burks)

I'd trade #23 and Trey Burke to get into the top 10.

Me too

Am i wrong or is that better than exums vert?

Same, IIRC.

(edit) you're right, Exum's was 34.5".

Don't think that will do it. Too much value in this year's draft.

In any case, there have been some trial balloons already floated by Rigby and Lindsey regarding veterans. I think DL has a deal on the table, likely something that was negotiated at the deadline to bring in a veteran. Jazz will have the cap room and they certainly have trade assets. They already have a ton of young players and will be bringing in two more (#4 pick and Neto). I don't think they want any more. I don't see Utah keeping the 23rd pick. We'll see if I'm right.

We already have a Vonleh and his name is Favors. They measurements are almost identical, besides the hands. So I'd rather not draft him....

@chadfordinsider: Glenn Robinson III with a 41.5" max vert. #NBACombine

Still liking this guy.

Favors can't shoot like Vonleh.

Deandre Kane has quietly had a nice combine. Solid 6'4" 200, 6'8" span, 35.5" vert, 10.95 lane agility.

If the Jazz go frontcourt with the lottery pick, I like to see them look seriously at Kane with one of the later picks.
