I wouldn't mind us drafting Pope in the second and developing him in the D-League. I expected him to be a lottery pick before this season started, but he seemed to have taken a step back. Although... he kind of finished the year strong. All the physical tools in the world, had some extremely good flashes, but just can't seem to put it all together. 6'10'' SF, with 9'1'' standing reach and 7'2'' wingspan, also has a smooth shot and some offensive skills as well as good potential with his length on D.

Look at this and tell me it doesn't excite you(if only most of his film looked like that):

Pope has back-up big potential. I'd like to see more motor, more steals, more blocks and more rebounds. He's got nice size and shooting touch, but he won't be able to coast as a pro. He's going to have to shift to become an energy player.
 
Now it begins. One of the reasons that it pays to do so many workouts is that it obscures who you're actually looking at seriously with a lottery pick. Jazz should have plenty of options and opportunities to throw some smokescreens out there while still getting a good, up-close look at some guys they're legitimately considering.
