Following 2016 potential draftees
- Thread starter Dr. Jones

I meant for him.
I've said before, I think Murray has Lillard potential.

Do you think Hayward by himself would be enough for the 3rd pick? Does Boston like Hayward?
Probably just Hayward or Favors w/o 12. You then use 12 to pick a back-up big or wing and promote either Hood or Lyles in the rotation. It feels hard to swallow, but not if the Jazz don't want to max both Hayward and Favors in the bigger picture. They'll both command that kind of money on the market.

No really, I have said that before. I believe it too. Remember Lillard was considered a combo when he was drafted, and he worked on his body when he got in the league. In terms of athleticism, both Lillard and Murry have the same standing reach and the same max vertical. Murray is a bit taller, and Lillard has a slightly longer wingspan. The difference is that Murray is coming out as a freshman. Murray's 3-pt percentage as a freshman in the ACC is the same as Lillard's as a senior in the Big Sky or whatever po-dunk conference. If anything, Murray looks like the safer prospect coming into the draft. Lillard doesn't play defense either.

It would be a bold move by the jazz to trade hayward for #3. The thing i like most about murray is that he has the "it" factor.
I fell in love with him in the pan-am games. He just took over in the game against the us.

As intriguing as this move is, it's gonna set the Jazz back at least 2-3 years in terms of the rebuild process...
