What's new

Following 2016 potential draftees

So provided DX is truthful about the feedback they've gotten from teams/scouts on Maker.
Are all 30 teams trying to smokescreen? Is it still a smokescreen when there's smoke everywhere?
 
I just think they don't want to upset their mock too much over it. Only way he doesn't end up in the first round are if his workouts are ghastly, and I don't see any reason to think that'd happen.

Maybe teams don't like him yet from hat they've seen, but may become more interested once they work him out? And at that point the ppl could 'talk' about how workouts/interviews went well and future mockdrafts could reflect that development.
 
Most teams arent as prepared for the draft as Utah. I suspect a lot of teams are probably behind the 8-ball on a prospect like Thon who many didnt foresee him declaring this year.
 
Givony:

What will help Thon Maker achieve his full potential is the fact that he's a tireless worker, has a big time motor & has very high character

Talent + motor/work ethic = yes plz
 
Fox seems like a winner. It's sort of clichéd but it's true. Dude is gonna be a winning ballplayer and I want him badly.
 
Fox would be a perfect fit on this roster. I'm sure everyone in the FO is well aware already.. He's a plus defender, and a one man fast break, the fastest player in the class, and a floor general, and he's 6'4" what's not to like??

If Exum seems better but just sort of average this year, I would be down for trading Exum, a 1st and more for the kid.
 
Part of me wonders if we should take another PG just in case Exum doesn't pan out.....


3rd time's the charm, right?

If we want to draft another PG then we have to do something to address our current glut of PG's. Even if we trade Burke, which I almost guarantee happens, we will still have 3 healthy PG's on the roster. The only PG's in this draft I'm interested in are Baldwin as a 1st rounder or Malik Newman in the 2nd round as a project.

I wouldnt mind drafting Ulis either, but something tells me the Jazz wouldn't want a 5'9 PG.
