Following potential 2013 draftees

I'm certainly intrigued especially because, like you already pointed out, he can be stashed for a year or more.

What I like:
Versatility
Length
Athleticism
Age

What I don't like:
Motor
Shooting
Lack of fundamentals
Potential

I like potential normally but lately I'm so turned off by it because it feels like that is the excuse we keep hearing from the Jazz as to why certain players are not playing, not being ready etc.

If the Jazz don't draft Saric and do draft a PG in the first round I would like to take a chance on him.

Motor? What?I didn't really see any critiques on his motor from the DX column or video. Pretty much every negative on him is due to a lack of experience and his body not being fully developed. He just turned 18 3 months ago, so that would make him your average HS Senior in America.

My main concern about him would be his ability to play off the ball. I think all the other things will come around given his natural talent level that he appears to posses.

And as far as him not playing, he would be in Europe. The NBA wouldn't be a good place for his initial develop given how raw he is. I would say he would have to spend at least two years in Europe.

Motor isn't Strength & Explosiveness, Strength & Explosiveness is Strength & Explosiveness. Also known as athletic ability.

He just turned 18, just sprouted 3 inches over the course of a year. He can definitely add to both of those things through a good strength and conditioning program and natural physical maturing.

Motor is your willingness to play hard and compete. They didn't really comment on that.
 
as far as grIII coming out this year would depend on wether Burke leaves and how well they do in the tourney, who is coming in. he could very well get on a middling team and not get a pg who can get him the ball and his draft stock could plummet next year. of course his projection this year and where and who could draft him also matters.

Or he would be a really good SF on a team without a top dog and he would get the ball a lot more.

The game is going to be a boring blowout. You won't be missing much excitement by not going to it.

****, nevermind, just saw your are going to it. For some reason I read it as you are missing the game to hang out with a HS kid.

Gotcha. That's why I was confused though. I am going. Sitting with Wiggins at the game.
