Following 2016 potential draftees

I really like Poetl this year. I don't really have any desire for the Jazz to trade up (unless the price is cheap) and get him because I don't think he is as good as Rudy or Favors, but I think he is potentially the 3rd best player. If he falls to us, I would like to draft him though.

In our range, I would have to say Luwawu or Prince.


I know it was only one game, but Sabonis completely dominated him when they played last. Word is someone promised Sabonis and that is why he did not attend the combine. Have not heard about any workouts from him so may be true. Must be pretty high for him not to workout.

Poetl plays in the pac12, doe
 
I've softened my stance on Valentine a bit. Bracing myself because I'm nearly positive the Jazz will draft him.

If you believe in the conspiracy that Locke gives up the pick by hyping the player to no end before the draft(like he did with Gobert and with Lyles last year), Valentine probably won't be our pick. He said some nice things about him offensively, but was pretty brutal about his defense. I don't think he 'likes' him anywhere near as much as he did Lyles.
 
Could Rosco Allen be the next Chandler Parsons? Fran Fraschilla seems to think so. Staying in the draft. No Blossingame for the Jazz this year.
 
Month before the draft big board:

1. Simmons
2. Ingram

30. D. Murray

*Korkmaz suppose to be 22 after Beasley, knock Skal and everyone below him down a spot. *

You know who is too low.

Is there someone Locke has been pimping?

Early impressions - Dejounte Murray from Washington (he's been saying he loves his physical attributes, he's been mentioning him in almost every podcast):

I think he might be his guy this year. For a player off-the-radar for most Jazz fans and most mock drafts(in the Jazz range), Locke sure is paying disproportionate amount of attention to him.

Not really... has mentioned trade route with Indiana and George Hill a lot.

Also mentioned we should/could "shoot the moon" and go for high upside dudes.
