Following 2016 potential draftees

[stitches]

The game is much, much different than it used to be. There is an enormous premium put on shooting and defending. Two things Dejonte is terrible at this moment.

I wouldn't say Dejounte is terrible at D. He has some awesome tools and he moved his feet well in the game I watched. His length helps him get in the passing lanes and he deflects a ton of balls, similarly to Dante his length also helps him recover in situations where he's beat... That's not to say he doesn't have work to do on D - sometimes he gets beat because he seems distracted/misreads situations, but I think he has all the tools.

The main issue I have with him is that he seems to get tunnel vision on offense and gets out of control. I am not sure he will ever be able to run a team as a primary ball-handler.

Bust potential.

Who would your second choice be at 12?

And who do you target?

Depends what we got offered but a 2017 pick or a quality veteran point guard would be nice.

I keep hearing there is no way the jazz trade the pick, but we'll see.

Probably Baldwin. My top choice would be to trade down to the late teens or 20's and get Bembry.

BTW, my bust potential comment was meant to be funny.

I agree. What's the difference between DMurray and Tony Wroten?

Their balance??

How high do u think Baldwin's ceiling is, and where do u think it will realistically end up?

He's most likely a complementary piece. And I see him playing off-ball at first. But if he can shoot low-40s from 3 and play awesome defense everywhere on the perimeter, then you've found yourself a nice piece. If he works hard and learns to create his own offense, then you've got yourself a damn good player.

The Murray thing could be a smokescreen of sorts. Last year, Perrin said that the most impressive workout was Kelly Oubre. However, the Jazz obviously liked Trey Lyles more. So perhaps team need made a difference in the final decision.

Walt has always been a best player available guy, maybe Kelly Obre had a better workout or it was a smokescreen but I think they thought Lyles was better prospect. So they took him. Walt mentioned in the interview that need is always third on the list after BPA and athleticism.

He never said Murray's name though. So he aint trying to smokescreen.

Damn, correction, most interesting thing: Perrin said he would draft Ingram with the #1 overall pick.

Most interesting thing is that he said he liked Ingram more because of need. Then said they would pick best player available.

3&D player at first with a chance to grow into something more later on.

Yeah he did contradict himself.
