Utah better not lose this game btw. Kuzma and Poeltl are playing well, except Jakob's been neutralized on the boards a bit.


Strong 1st half for Gary "the mitten" Payton II too.

I hate to disagree w/ a hall of famer but GP2 twists beneath the waist when he shoots from deep. The only reason he is not a good shooter.
 
That was frustrating

Come on Larry K. Classic college coach mistake, don't start dribbling out the clock w/3 minutes left. That's a lifetime in basketball, especially at the end of the game, and double especially now that the shot clock is shorter.

smh

Taylor? Well, brain dead on that one.

Yeah, I'm sure other HOFers, especially Reggie Miller would agree with you on that.

Millers' shoulder followed his hip. GP2 keeps his shoulders square but does this weird twist with his right leg/hip and it isn't consistent.

yeah, Reggie's stance/balance in his lower half is what I'm talking about, he's quite disciplined. I've been actively tinkering with my shooting form for 10+ years now, I use bits of what Reggie does with his eyes and lower half/balance.. I was using some JJ Redick tips before that but I prefer what Reggie does with his eyes, it's quite different.

When the Mavs lost that finals to D-Whistle and the Heat I reworked my delivery like Dirk's so my release point/delivery is over my head. Most recently I've switched to Steph Curry style grip, balance hand and follow thru and it's really caused some explosive results, I actually think I'm done tinkering..

Oh, I thought you were referring to Reggie's iconic pivot/spin. It was beautiful how he kept everything aligned as he did that.
 
Ullis over Trimble will not happen.. One guy I want to see at combine is CU bbig man Josh Scott... Some games I am sold on him and others I am not..
 
SAbonis played good last night and that kid from LMU is a tough defender and Sabonis did really well.. It is like he is a cross between a Euro and an American. I know he has duel citizenship and was born in states and grew up in both places. He has thebest of both worlds. He is strong already and his body can still hold more muscle to its framk. Limited athlete but uses both hands nicely and very HIGH IQ.

Dejounte Murray(Fr. - Washington) should certainly be in that top-150.. Nbadarft.corn has him in the top 10 in their latest mock..

Love this kid.

his feet never stop moving, his body is all kinds of shifty, can shoot after contact. Can he shoot from outside and defend?
 
Justin Sears from Yale. Not much of a pro prospect at all but he is a really good college player. Yale looking for it first Tournament appearance in a long time
 
Fielder from Detroit id take over Ullis if I was looking for a pint size guard. He could become first player EVER to lead the nation in scoring and assist
 
The two that seem to be about where the Jazz should end up that are intriguing are Diamond Stone and Domatas Sabonis. Haven't really seen them much, but that seems lower than I expected from both of them.

Nigel Hayes in the 2nd round seems like a steal. Would love to see the Jazz draft and stash the best international players with all of their 2nd round picks.

Petr Cornelie, Zhou Qi, Sasha Vezenkov, Alpha Kabba and George de Paula all seem like they'd be fantastic draft and stash type of guys.
 
I'd be happy with Sabonis. That gives Utah a bigger PF behind Favors and Quin can go Lyles or Sabonis depending on matchups. DL will likely draft one 2nd rounder and trade the other picks if he can for cash. Few thousand dollars pays off some of those hotel and food bills for the hundred players he brings in.
 
Diamond Stone is a baller. 4 straight Wisconsin high school titles. Good footwork, good hands, and pretty athletic for a big guy.. Imagine when he gets stronger. If he played on a different team he would be putting up monster stats but like I said the kid is a winner and that's the most important thing to him..
 
Nigel Hayes perfect bench player. a cross between Draymond Green and Carl Landry... He doesn't have the passing or iq of Draymond but he still does got a good bball iq. Draymond bball iq is off the charts, Always has been. I knew he was a steal when Warriors got him but I never thought he be this good.. That's the high iq and work ethic. Nigel has a good work ethic

UK signee De'Aaron Fox scored 50 points in an 83-63 victory tonight. He made 8 three-pointers in the first half, had 10 threes for the game.
 
I always take with a grain of salt what players do at High School level.. Seen to many players who people pegged as good show they are not as good as everyone thinks and I have seen players who were number 2 options on they high school team turn into stars at college level(Deron Williams and Bracey Wright)
 
I thought Peyton Allen from Springfield Illinois was going be a good one and he still can. Started at Texas A&M but transferred to Wichita State and is sitting out this year.. I never thought he be a NBA player but thought he be a good college player.. Still has time I suppose
 
That is a different scenario.. Bryant was a once in a generation talent with great bloodlines. Had best of both worlds when it comes to basketball. Since he spent a lot of time in Italy he had the fundamentals of a Euro but since he was from stateas and played ball here to he had the toughness and swagger of the American dream..

A lot of things have to be taken into consideration, hence why I said take with a grain of salt..

So you would've advocated taking Kerry Kittles over Kobe Bryant ?

Also Kobe wanted no part of the Nets so the Nets were forced to draft Kittles. Who didn't have to shabby of a pro career. Not Kobe obviously but he wasn't a total dud.
