2nd round steals that could fit the jazz?
- Thread starter prodigy
- Start date
Layman is perfect.
He played the exact same role in college that he will be asked to play in the NBA.

Draft and stash. They should take the 2nd round picks, Burke, Pleiss, Withey (if needed) and cash to maneuver into the late 1st/early 2nd round territory to pick the top two draft and stash prospects for down the road. Worked well with Neto. Had they played that game two years ago, they might have ended up with Nikola Jokic as well.
They don't need 3/4 rookies to play this year. They have the time to be patient and let them develop elsewhere. Grab the best player available at #12 and then move around to add couple of young international guys for down the road. If they can come out of this draft by getting Luwawu or Korkmaz with #12 and then any combination of Zhou Qi, Petr Cornelie, Ante Zizic, Isaia Cordinier, Aleksander Vesenkov or Alpha Kaba and I'd say that it was a successful draft.

Zagorac who DraftExpress has us taking with the 60th pick I think would be a great 60th pick. The Serbs on the Euro board I am on really like him and think he is their best hope at the SF. Plays on the same team as Luwawu. So if we are scouting Luwawu we are also seeing a lot of him. Shooting 75% from 3 in the Serbian League.....
Ok you got me they have only played one game in the Serbian league so far. 3pt shooting overall not to great though.

If Vezenkov stays in the draft this year, he's one of my picks. I'd let him continue to play overseas, and then during the offseason I'd have him work at P3. He gets to know the other Jazz players and hopefully develop the athleticism to play in the NBA after awhile. I'd make sure that I could keep some sort of influence over his progress, because the kid can shoot. If he can handle NBA athletes, he'd end up being a steal in the 2nd.

Thanks!
You're probably right. His age will be a factor (23 in September). I don't think it's a given that he'll drop out.

Well you are the guy trying to compare Nigel Hayes body to Khawi Leonard body. Game set match. Ylou are the idiot... We will see come opening night and Layman isn't on a roster. Hummel was the better prospect and he only had a sip of coffee in the league. Whenever you want to step on the court we will see chump.Should change your name to Queen because you are no king
I'm probably the biggest Payton II homer on this board. I think he'll be better than Marcus Smart - as good of a defender with a better shot.
I know a lot of people will disagree simply because Smart went in the first round but that's fine.
I like Tyler Ulis as well but don't think he'd be a good fit here.
I like Baldwin and if the Jazz don't draft Valentine Baldwin would be a good 2nd round choice as he does a lot of things well.
I would prefer Selden Jr. over Chris Johnson (I know Selden is more of a SG and Johnson plays some SF but Johnson needs to go).
