Following potential 2013 draftees

[Dr. Jones]

No, really these aren't my rankings yet. I wanna do one with everyone in its own seperate thread though, right before the draft. We usually do one, right?

yea.. sure...

You're not fooling me.

Happy for Gary Neal.. I just don't want to try too hard to find the diamond in the rough.

Bullock has the same mental, physical and shooting abilities/attributes right now compared to Leonard/green/Neal.

He just needs NBA experience & be put in the right place to succeed.


We just have to be brave enough to take him.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Umm...no? No, I did not.

Look for the General thread that says something like AWESOME RADICAL blah blah blah...

 

[The Midnight]

I think you're making that up....

When you're analyzing someone's mental state/strength you don't just look at the highlights... you listen to how he talks.

Just ask The Mentalist (PKM).

Bullock is not a reach. It doesn't require bravery. It requires settling for an NBA ready player that can shoot, defend, and is decent at everything... but may never get much better. I'm def okay with that at 21.

I feel like I haven't been as involved with this year's draft class, in terms of looking out for decent prospects.





Personally, I am hoping we snag 13 from Dallas, and we can package our picks to move up.




Still, here's a list of players I want on this Jazz team:




1) Burke













2) McCollum
Distant 3, whether via 14th or 21st pick) Schröder





I am not warm on Larkin.


I want one of our picks to be some sort of response to our PG debacle, so I'd be rather upset if we drafted two forwards.

I seriously wanted the Jazz to take Knight at #3 in 2011, more than I want the Jazz to take Larkin at #14.

Anyone see this conversation by Locke and McCollum?

What does this have to do with him being tough? What it shows, mostly, is him making a lot of 3's .. of which he shot 36% from the college line against college defenders....

I don't currently have a preference regarding who we should target with pick #21. Ideally, I'd be looking for a one-dimensional player who has an elite, NBA-ready talent in one facet of his game. Something like shooting. Rebounding. Defending. Passing. Athleticism.



Lots of times, one-dimensional players are passed up, and they fall into the 20s only to let them explode on some random team. Happens every year.

Glad to see you're coming around..

Love that first tweet that CJ said to Locke.
