Good point. But the big guy with skills who could actually start on our team (in a year) is Giannis.
Yeah, no, I get that, it's just the discussion was about comparing Olynyk vs Larkin.

Not a fan of Larkin at 14. No way he is BPA. 21 could be argued that might be BPA. Personally I think Larkin belongs in the 2nd round. Everyone likes to bring up Lawson-but Lawson has always be explosive and a strong finisher at the rim. Larkin struggles with that. In other words Larkin hopes he can become as good as Mo Williams. Not the road I want to go down.

According to the Lindsey interview the Jazz should have thier own draft board, or Mock Draft , this week.
Oh, what I would give to see it just one time......
=======================================
I wonder if Colton has ever compared the Mock compilations to the actual draft results to see how accurate of a predictor the mocks are.
I suspect it holds true for about 6 picks then starts to diverge and is only slightly better than a random guess by 25.

Agreed
I think I did that in 2011. I can't remember the details of what I found out, but I'm sure your general sense was correct--the early picks on the mock drafts are much more accurate than the later picks.

Probably depends year over year as well. When we drafted Hayward, the first five picks were pretty set in stone, the next 3 were somewhat certain, but after that it was anyone's guess. Other years have had a lot of predictability throughout the lottery. This draft probably has more uncertainty all the way through than any in recent history.

This order is not based on who the Jazz will draft but a statistical average of placement based on the compilation of the mock drafts that Colton collected. What's good about it is that, as he said, it gives us an idea of the pool of players that will be available for the Jazz to draft at their position in the draft.
