Following potential 2013 draftees

but in greg odens defense, the legend goes he could take a penny off the backboard, meaning greg oden was like a Bigger Dwight Howard, its a shame he fell off

if he ever checks out and has some bounce in his knees, can run the floor, someone will pay him...

btw if gobert puts on 25lbs hes effectively the same size or bigger than Greg Oden, whos listed weight was probably less than reality so lets call it 35lbs

Lucas is almost the same size frame as Oden - 30lbs and slower less explosive combne #'s

I think if the Jazz draft at #14 and take Larkin it will be a huge let down. If Schroeder is really gone by #14, we can take one of: Carter-Williams, Caldwell-Pope, Kelly Olynyk, Rudy Gobert, Sergey Karasev, Glen Rice Jr., Jamal Franklin, or Giannis Whatsisname......all of whom I'd take over Larkin in the first round. Larkin is a 3rd guard at best, an energy guy you let loose against the other team's 2nd unit.

Also, if Jerry Sloan butts his head into the discussion, I think he'd take Wolters over Larkin. He loved Hornacek, loved Hayward, and likes bigger, more versatile guards in general. If the Jazz end up with Gobert and Wolters, you'll know that Sloan got directly involved.

you forgot that larkin had t-rex arms 5'10 wingspan on a 5'11 frame...

Schroders arms are like Rondos.. almost 6'8" wingspan

so the 10 inches less in vertical is made up for directly with 10 inches of standing reach,

to mention their heights and not reach this is doing schroder a great disservice in the comparison

I'll take the length over vert all day. What % of the game do these guys spend at their max vert, lol.

i mean most of these guys are resting their knees from actual basketball training, Larkin obviously was in some crazy training to put up 44inch vertical, thats crazy

In that scenario, I'd take Gobert, KCP, Rice Jr., Giannis or Karasev. I'd take a wing shooter or upside pick. Then I'd take Wolters at #21.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

It's precisely because of NBN's scenario that I'd have a deal to move up to #9 or #10 on the table. I don't think Minny and Portland are committed to those picks, although Minny is trying to move up for Oladipo.

I'd be a bit surprised if Dallas took Schroeder over Gobert though.

amen brother. you filled with the holy spirit too. amen

I've said it before, but I don't think Detroit would take McCollum and be left with two 6'3" guards. I think they'd take either Carter-Williams or Shabazz.

If McCollum gets past #7, I think he'll make it to 9 or 10. That's probably why he just worked out for Portland. But I don't think Portland wants two 6'3" guards either. And that's why I think we can get the #10 pick for #14 + 21.

 

[Dr. Jones]

honestly I am not sold that Larkin is going to be a bad defender at the next level.

Be sold. He'll stink.

Oh, and I don't care that Larkin was in the running for DPOY in his conference...he wasn't a good defender. Good at stealing, but not at defending. Steals, much like blocks, are an incredibly misunderstood stat in regards to their relevance and importance.

Preach it, bro.

i know everyone hates this but we should trade hayward to the suns for #5 and #30

take Oladipo @5
Schroder@14
Tony Mitchell@21
Hardaway Jr@30
Mam Jaiteh@46

Schroder / Burks / Tinsley / ???
Oladipo / Hardaway JR / Burks
Burks / Mitchell / Oladipo / Marvin
Favors / Kanter / Mitchell / Marvin
Kanter/ Favors / Jaiteh

^^ id bet theoretical dollars kanter would go 20/10 nightly in this scenario

No.

In a normal draft, that is not a terrible idea. But if I had to guess, I would say Hayward will have a better career than oladipo.

This.

**** it. lets have some fun for ****s sake. schoeder might be a handful, but damn if he wouldn't spice up our ****ing team

This.

I don't think anyone would say "No" to Larkin at #21..


It's taking him at #14 ahead of Schroeder that really scares me......

I would pass at 21.

amen brother. you filled with the holy spirit too. amen

Bless you

 

[Game6Conley]

catch do you think McCollum goes before or after MCW?
