Following potential 2013 draftees

[Dr. Jones]

Burke won't drop past 10 guys, come on. It would be a miracle if he is there @ 9. Guaranteed KOL would try absolutely everything to trade up and get him.

I don't see him sliding even to #9. I would love it, of course, because we could make a play for 9, or would likely see CJ or MCW there at 14... though none of that is happening. So...

Nothing to do with draftees, except that 2 or 3 of them will get a chance to wear one of these in 15 days. NBA just released the hat design for the 2013 draft.

Like the green & gold snap back, not keen on the oversized lettering.

But his physical attributes are high

Isn't he dumb as hell?

Why isn't Schroeder on your 'upside' list?

That's a shocking omission.

small stationary shot no left hand or midrange game can't finish.

Not sure if you are serious.

he's not. He's a troll.

Nice write up Catch, I agree the Jazz most likely have choices to make regarding which PG they take at 14. I see the possibility that PGs fall because most teams have their starting PGs. I flip-flop between CJ, MCM and Burke. I would be ok with Schroeder or Larkin at 21. I am not ok with Schroeder or Larkin at 14. I rather go big or get a shooter.

Ugly hats. They must have had a contest where you had 15 mins. to come up with a design and then spent 14 1/2 on the snap back. Great idea to put the note on the underside, where so many will actually see it. Wouldn't wear one of those hats if it were given to me free of charge.

I'm liking Karasev. Great shooter, high bball IQ, can play SG or SF. At 14 he's a good pick. I'd take him over Burke. Sorry, to me he's at best Jameer Nelson. True, we need a PG but I'm all for tanking this year and getting that next year rather than spending that pick on and avg to below avg PG.

ESPN appears to agree with you Catch. They have the stock of Burke, MCW and McCollum all dropping. They are now listed at 7-9 in the same order. Then add the rising stock of Larkin and Schroeder and the Jazz could have 4-5 options for a PG at 14 instead of 1-2.

Schroerder stock is declining according to DX. Larkin is the one on the rise

Those hats are pretty gross.

I'm not really even sure who I want at this point, I'm just excited to have a couple of new guys to root for. It's hard for me to remember a draft being this fragmented in terms of consensus picks past the top 6 or 7.

Jason Jones @mr_jasonjones Indiana's Cody Zeller will have an individual predraft workout with the Kings on Thursday


James Ham @James_Ham There is a solid buzz that Zeller is moving up the draft board, but it is nice to see the Kings bring in another top 10 pick.

The Jazz worked out Zeller. Maybe the Jazz are Jimmering Sacramento again.

I would be good with Karasev at 14. I still don't like Burke unless it is at 21. I think Burke is better than Larkin.
