this is kinda of how i think it will play out(0 trades), team needs taken into account

and other mock drafts' consensus kept in mind too, slightly

 

[Hantlers]

Just checking in. May not go through and read the 6 pages or so I missed from yesterday.. though I'm certain there are some gems of posts in there.

Anything earth-shattering from yesterday?

I didn't post yesterday, so no.

Also, if Hibbert continues to shine due to his size I can see that dramatically changing this draft for most teams.

Roy Hibbert compares favorably with all of the really big players in this draft, other than Noel and Len. i can assure you of this.

but i think you maybe correct, i infact showed up to jazzfanz, first post was about this drafts' centers and could the jazz procure a steal in the "2nd or 3rd teir group of C's" (i was targeting Isaiah Austin at the time)

if the jazz could land Gobert@ 21 id be really excited about it, His Standing reach is the largest measured for nba prospects

 

[BENTLEY]

Uh-oh. I think I'm starting to want specific players all of a sudden. And 3 of them in the first round (which means I'm getting my hopes up the Jazz get Dallas' pick). Gotta stop this. The players are pretty much equal.

But I'm starting to want Shroeder, Len or Gobert, and Giannis more than the others I think. Sigh.

 

[BENTLEY]

Although it might be better to go with Bullock over Giannis.

i like your list!!!

and the only reason why im not crazy about giannis is A) hes a project B) 2 of my favorite 2nd round wing guys will clearly help the jazz more next season, Timmy Jr and James Southerland. I kinda want us to go for it next year full force, and see what happens

also C) we can pay for the 23 y/o developed, battle tested version of Giannis at a nice discount to his size/athletecism/skillset due to him being redundant coz of Anthony Davis..

sorry to beat a dead horse, but my question is this how long til you think Giannis can make a play like this in the NBA??

[Game6Conley]

furthermore how many seasons will it take for Giannis to be capable of a game like this? or is he even capable/likely to grab 20 rebs at any point in time?

with kanter it was obvious the rebounding would translate, to me so was it with Aminu, cannot say the same for Giannis... but he is huge, and very very fast... like Aminu, ones the size of Derrick Favors and the other is almost as skinny as Jeremy Evans.

EDIT: in the video above he had 13 rebounds with 3:30 to go in the 1st quarter...

 

[A-Train (old)]

Allen Crabbe seems like an interesting guy to look at, a deadeye shooter something which the Jazz could use. One question, how would you all feel about drafting Shane Larkin at #14?

I don't mind taking a high upside project like Giannis because I don't want the Jazz to go full force next year. I want them to play crap next year = Corbin walks + better draft pick in '14 draft. Top 6 should get us a stud.

Hey, is Aminu 6'8" or 6'10"? DX says the former but when I googled him it said 6'10". Maybe he's grown since DX reported his measurements.

I don't want him at 21

No reason to waste the 14 if you really want him.
