Following potential 2013 draftees

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I don't think there's much chance that Burke or McCollum will make it to #14. Schroeder seems very likely to be there ar #14 if he's the guy we want. However, a few teams in the 9 - 13 range are likely to try to trade their picks. Burke and McCollum would both be pretty clear BPA in that range, along with Zeller and Adams.

Also, it's not that Burke is doing badly in workouts. It's simply that Shabazz, MCW and Len have looked good in workouts and are climbing. At the same time, teams that have their PG situation worked out will take a bigger or more versatile player on the same tier.

Separately, despite what mocks are saying, it's unlikely that Shabazz slips below #8.

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...

If Burke makes it past Olrando (2) and NOLA (6), there's a good chance he'll slide to #9. Shabazz and MCW look like the leading candidates to go at 7 and 8 (for the moment).

oh the insanity of this draft. it is making my head hurt.

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

Those things have NOTHING to do with potential
how about his excellent length, elite speed and quickness, hesitation and handle, and the fact that he's only 19

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.

Reminds me of this..

Agree with just about everything said in the last few pages. I'll just add I still have concerns about McCollum's ability to run an offense. I really think he'll be a good scorer, but will he just be another Mo/Harris as far as PG duties go?

I'm more concerned about how agile and nimble and quick he can be as a PG more than the mental side of thing.

Reminds me of this..

It was probably designed by Ty Ty Binks.

Say what you will about the hats but the kids I work with like them. I guess we found the target audience.
The military kids here are all 90% Lebron Heat fans, sprinkled with a few Lakers and Bulls.

I try and show them videos about Favors, and Burks to give them some insight on our team.
They all find it VERY weird I would support this strange team "Who's on them again"?

Some other fun comments "Yall shouldn't gave up Deron Williams" me,"but we got back Favors and Kanter in return" "who"?
"Why you like the Jazz, when I go to da NBA I never be playin for them" "Utah sucks" "Hayward is pretty cool"

I've had this exact same conversation with about 20 adult life-long Jazz fans.

I live in Arizona and all of the kids on my high school team think that the Jazz's only dominant player is Favors (referring to the game when he destroyed Gortat). They think Hayward is pretty good and Burks has a lot of potential too. One weird thing is everybody seems to think that Kanter is a bonifide scrub.
