Yes, how ridiculous to say his floor is a role player hitting 3's, playing good defense and making simple, basic passes.
I think that's the type of player Baldwin could become. I wouldn't call it a floor. A lot depends on who he's playing next too.

Furkan Korkmaz is working out in Denver today. Denver has the 15th pick. It's not clear that Korkmaz would come over to the NBA this year. He may stay in Europe and take over Dario Saric's role on the Euro club Anadolu Efes. Korkmaz shot 40% on 3s in Europe this season as an 18 year-old.

Not right. It sucks to hear every week something new but his original quote after the workout was (translated to english):
"After the draft i want to join immediately to the nba because i think its easier to develop here (america) than in europe"

he may stay fairly skinny (think slightly taller Ricky Rubio), but he's a good enough athlete to play at NBA speed.
He is 6'7 maybe even 6'8.
12. Utah Jazz
Jakob Poeltl
Utah
Sophomore
Center
The Jazz don't have any immediate needs. Whomever lands here will struggle to find minutes on a loaded roster. This is an exercise in taking the best player available.
There are a lot of options here and I think it may be tough to pass on Henry Ellenson if he's on the board. But Poeltl's ability to help right now at a key position probably gives him the slight edge. Wade Baldwin, Furkan Korkmaz and Labissiere (if available) are other real options here.
I can't see Toronto, Milwaukee, and Orlando all passing on him.Chad Ford has us taking Poeltl in his latest mock draft...
