The Future is bright! I can feel it. 2-3 years from now, we'll take the league by storm, or atleast we can hope so. If KAnter is special, than i think we will. Heck, maybe even next year it will happen.

Can we just skip next year and get the highest odds for the lotto?

The NBA draft and the anticipation leading up to the NBA draft is one my favorite things about being a Jazzfan, especially when we are in the lottery. I don;t care who we draft, as long as the players we draft are impact players and fit a role/need for the team. I know that is making it overly simple, but we really just need to add pieces like OKC did when they drafted guys like Green and Serge (of course, serge has over accomplished).

I used to get excited about drafting young players.

Then Ty Corbin happened.
 
Some question marks over Greek Freak from Chad Ford:

5. Giannis Adetokunbo | F | Greece
Adetokunbo is this year's international man of mystery. Remember how Nikoloz Tskitishvili and Pavel Podkolzine dazzled in workouts but couldn't really play in a 5-on-5 game? That's where we are at with Adetokunbo. He is playing in a lower Greek league against talent NBA international scouts have dubbed NCAA Division III level.

However, the physical tools are intriguing -- especially in the workouts he's done for NBA personnel. He's a rangy point forward who handles the ball, passes out of the high post and plays in a manner that had at least one GM utter the name of Scottie Pippen. With so few players in the draft having major upside, a number of GMs and scouts in Portland told me that they thought he was worth a second-round pick at the very least and could possibly be worth a pick in the 20s.

However, the red flags are everywhere. Every scout I spoke with said Adetokunbo is not even ready for the D-League, let alone the NBA. He's going to need several more years in Europe to develop. He also is painfully thin, isn't a great shooter and has passport issues that prohibit him from playing in the top Greek leagues, never mind the United States (this explained why he wasn't at the Hoop Summit).

"It's a gamble," one NBA GM said. "In a lot of drafts, you don't make it. In this one, I'm not sure why you wouldn't. There isn't a lot to lose."
