Following 2016 potential draftees
- Thread starter Dr. Jones
- Start date
I think if Poeltl is there at 12, it's awfully hard to pass on him. He has ideal measurables and mobility. He can score with either hand. He can pass. He's improved a ton in 2 years. If he adds a Marc Gasol jumper and adds some more strength, he's a complete player.
No problem dude
But do you really think Poeltl has some defensive potential with a standing reach which is equal to Paul Millsap who is considered as a undersized 4 and poeltl should play the 5?Read my quote his standing reach ist terrible

The Combine measurements were updated. Poeltl's reach is 9'3.5"

Jonathan Tjarks recently made a really good point: Does a guy like Poetl, who was a primary option in college, have enough secondary tools to be an effective player if he's not a primary option? If you're not running offense through him, is he better than a guy like Chinanu Onuake or AJ Hammons?
I don't really have a favorite at this point. I would be happy with a lot of guys. Korkmaz didn't impress me in the video. He didn't seem that agile laterally. I really question if he can guard NBA players.
If teams are trying to trade up then I would see what it would take to get JMurray. I would give up #12 +Burke and maybe a future first to get a shot at him.
The Jazz need a lot of help on the bench. I want them to get guys who can shoot a little and/or play defense.

This is a really good point. Not saying he can't but it's an interesting question.
One of Furkan's strengths is that he can play a role.

Thanks for the info. I feel better.
I think the Jazz will try to move up in this draft simply because they can. They've got a couple guys and a couple extra picks they'd like to move (and probably need to move this year), and there will still be 4 or 5 players of the same tier available at 12. Now isn't the time to sit on extra assets.
