Following 2016 potential draftees

Although I am a FIRM believer in Quin and his ability to develop players, that whole paragraph screams stay away.

That section screams the bad DeRozan to me. I'm not a DDR fan at all. He'll help you win regular season games but I feel like his lack of versatility hurts his team come postseason play.
 
For the record, I like Richardson but I would be disappointed if he was taken at 12. Trade down for him and add some assets if he's the pick. Just my opinion.

I feel the same about Maker. If he's the pick then trade down and then get him. I think somewhere in the early 20's is still safe enough.

Richardson has already shown to be a better shooter than DDR. Break him from those bad habits and he could be a very good add to this up and coming squad. This might seem like a bad comp but I think he is a taller Waiters. OKC seems to have broken Waiters of his bad habits and he's looking like much more of a threat this postseason.
 
Its like drafting Nick Young but possibly being able to coach the Nick Young out of him.

The part where it said teams are divided on him sounds like Utah might be one of the teams that like him.

Jazz have reportedly interviewed Richardson. Also Brown. I think there's interest there. I also think the Jazz would readily trade a future pick along with #12 to move up a few spots.
 
I'm on the Skal island. I thought I was the owner and sole inhabitant of the island. Nice to see other people around. He's no. 4 on my board right now.
I'm going to have to look into this skal fellow.

Any highlight videos you want to post?

Lol, good analogy

Except that Richardson is a much better shooter and probably a better ball handler than DeRozan, and he's only 20. DeRozan relies on athleticism, a big first step and extension to the rim. Richardson is crafty and versatile in creating his shot.
