What's new

Following 2016 potential draftees

Would you give up #12 burks and or burke to the pelicans to move up to #6? And would NO do it?

Jamal Murray would be the ideal trade up target, no one in this draft could add real firepower to the offense next season quite like Murray..

He's a CJ McCollum/Gilbert Arenas style combo guard, who's also been compared to Brandon Roy, and would fit seamlessly next to Exum at SG and Hood/Burks at PG. He's dangerous with and without the ball. Quick release shooter.

Shot a blistering 41% from 3 on 7.7 attempts as a Freshman, and closed out the season with #'s even stronger then that.

He's also the closest player you'll find to Steph Curry in this draft..



I agree that Murray would be ideal for the Jazz. I would loosely compare him to Damian Lillard in terms of talent level.
 
Murray's handle and ability to change pace is much better than Buddy's.

Totally. I think Buddy Hield is in the Eric Gordon/Garry Harris/Evan Fournier ilk as primarily a feet-set, face-up shooter. Wes Matthews is another in that category. Hield will be really good at it though.

Also a jackpot scenario could be Henry Ellenson falling to the pick. He's not a perfect match because he's just about exactly Trey Lyles size, maybe a half an inch taller. He's a better rebounder and shotblocker for sure and he's more used to playing 5, he'd be a seamless fit at PF next to Favors, Gobert or Withey too.

I believe he's got some Kevin Love to his game, his handle/faceup game is really something for a player his size too. He and Lyles with Burks off the bench could really attack the basket from the perimeter aggressively

Davis is interesting but I like Skal better, I'm waiting for measurements and workouts though to really decide. I haven't ruled Stephen Zimmerman out yet either.



Do you think he could play minutes at the 5--as kind of a Raef LaFrentz stretch-5? He looks like he can add some weight, and his rebound numbers look pretty solid.
 
Denver Nuggets with 3 top 20 picks
Within 2 years they will have the better team then the Jazz, Just like I called this pre season with the Blazers passing the Jazz.. Look the Jazz need a homerun draft pick because they are in the danger Zone.
Portland is better
Denver is on its way.
Minny is on its way with Anthony Towns as Batman and Wiggins as Robin
REal danger zone for the Jazz. A Team full of role players is not going get it done. With the right pick or trade the Jazz could be in this convo for top dog of conference for years to come. This conference is going be the best in nba from top to bottom within a couple years. Nice pieces the Jazz have, Problem is they don't have that center piece( not literally a center but the go to guy) If I was the Jazz id be open to trading anyone on the roster. I wouldn't go and break down the whole thing and trade everyone but I would listen to trades about anyone on that team. Need a go to guy, A face of the franchise. Hayward has had his shot and he has shown what you get with him leading. Lottery bound year after year. He was the 3rd or 4th option in college on his college team and needs to be the same in the NBA.
Now pair him up with Paul George and WOW is that a nice tandem on the wing..Pacers wouldn't want Rudy but I would give up Favors to get him. On Favors I find it so funny people here talk about his potential and how he can still develop but then rip a kid like Denzel Valentine because he is a 22 year old senior. So a 24 year old can stil ldevelop but not a 22 year old.lol
I am goin g leave Exum out of this since he is a wildcard, an unknown at this point
PG
Hayward
George
PF? Maybe Lyles(called him Lamar Odom like)
Rudy Gobert

Now lets say Exum does come thru
Exum
Hayward
George
Lyles
Rudy

Nice lineup that has the potential to be a nightmare on the defensive end and has a go to guy scorer in George and a solid second option in Hayward

ANOTHER thing about George is since he is a west coast kid I could see him wanting to play in Utah.. Not going get many kids from the Midwest or east coast who would want to stay in SLC but a west coast kid you would have better chance.IMO

Someone tell me that starting lineup I rolled out does not have some serious potential?
 
Nuggets really like Sabonis. From my inside sources.. Like the rugged player he is. Lacking of toughness on the team. They also really like Denzel Valentine and they 2 second round picks they hoping a point guard falls to them.They really like . D Jackso, Ullis, Melo Trimble and to a lesser extent GPayton.This is all inside info
