Following potential 2013 draftees

[A-Train (old)]

Do you know that restricted free agency exists? If you're making fear-driven decisions 5-years out, then you're going to fail. At anything.

My apalogies, I didn't know he was going to be a restricted free agent.

WCS is a project, but one with a high ceiling. I'd be ecstatic if we could get him and Burke. Both could produce next year (in some capacity) and thus leave us very free to absorb a couple of Tom Gugliottas. If we can s&t Millsap and use that asset to pick up that lanky project in Greece, then grand ****ing slam.

Stein isn't entering the draft this year. Fact.

common sense

Better to come out in a weak *** draft than a great one though.

common sense

It's common sense to forfeit millions of guaranteed dollars today at a chance to make a small percentage more tomorrow (which even if they get drafted higher, the chance seems slim that they'd make more money over the life of their rookie deal than the extra million+ they'd make sooner [and not at the forfeit at the tail-end because of the decision]), which is of course subject to injury or if they only play as well or worse?

WCS is drafted in the first round if he declares. A player would be dumb to stay in because life is real.

This year's draft is stronger in big men than next year's draft though.

I haven't mentioned this a lot, but for me, the biggest thing that separates Burke from the field is I see a competitor that wins with heart, guts, and brains. While the Jazz desperately need a PG they can move forward with, they also need a leader. In my mind, Burke could be the piece that ignites all of the potential everyone has blue balls over (even though he might not be the best numbers guy in the pack when it's all said and done).

Agreed. I was just supporting your notion of coming out and being a top 15 pick in a crappy draft rather than hoping to get better and come out the following year in what is a much better draft.
