WCS = DeAndre Jordan
Following potential 2013 draftees
- Thread starter Dr. Jones
- Start date
Rep'd.
It may be true, but I just get sick of hearing about hyped up HS'ers. I'll wait until they do something that matters until I decide how good they are.
********. I've called it like I see it every year. People may generally do that, but I refuse to be lumped in.
Kind of strange you say that you're a regular fixture of the draft threads.

Doesn't he project as a higher-motor + better rebounded than DJ?
I'm not watching enough cbb to know.

This is only true to a small degree, imo. There were plenty of us last year saying 2012 is a strong draft and that 2013 would be weak as argument for why it would be better to miss the playoffs and keep both lottery picks.
Mother ****ing this.

All-Star maybe, but I see no chance of him becoming a superstar (#1 guy on a title contender). He's overrated on both ends of the floor, imo. Only 8% of his offense comes from iso situations (where he never converts), and he's terrible in iso defensive situations which will be more of a problem at the NBA level, not just because the guys he'll be defending are better, but also because you have to play man-to-man a lot more in the pro's than in college ball. On both ends of the floor, he's an awful one-on-one guy.
I project him to have a higher motor, better athlete, far better scorer.. I don't yet have a great feel for his defense. Hes getting good blocks but I'm not ready to project what level of rim protector he'll be.
I think the Jazz were fully expecting to draft last year. Then Houston lost 7 of their last 8 games, and the Warriors' tank crossed the finish line. If the Jazz had #13 or #14 last year, maybe they take Terrence Jones or Kendall Marshall. Not really a game-changer for us.

Or if we had won the coin flip and gotten the 8th pick, we could have drafted Andre Drummond. Game changer.
