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.

I really like the USA today Mock. If the Jazz got both CJ and Glenn Rice Jr. I would be extremely excited.
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.
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.
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.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.
Olynyk and Plumlee? Is this a joke?
