Following potential 2013 draftees

[Qman]

I want nothing to do with MCW.

Against good D shooting from your guards is so, so important. That is what I am seeing in the playoffs this year. So yea MCW scares me from that point of view.

How on earth does OKC have another lotto pick? Unbelievable!

I'd be happy with Michael Carter-Williams or Dennis Schroder. If we went with Dennis then resigning Mo would make more sense.
Sign him for 2 years, and let Schroder come along slowly. MCW I'd want to start playing more right away.

Harden trade

By successfully executing one of the worst trades in recent NBA history.

Because that will illuminate everything else that you do.

Looking at Trey Burke for example. What does he have that a similar player with similar physical attributes doesn't have? He's not lightning quick. He's not a leaper. He's not tall.

But he's willing to say to himself "Fack it, this is all I have to work with. But even with this, I'm going to be the best player Trey Burke can be".

You just don't get that vibe from Wesley Johnson, Beasley, Darko... etc

But if that attitude was all it takes the Jazz would have found all-stars with Alec Burks, Sundiata Gaines, and Dee Brown.

this draft the jazz need to list these qualities and pick players with as many of these qualities.

high motor
bb iq
gym rat
work ethic
doesn't take plays off
defined nba skill

everything else will fall together.

Have you met Nate Wolters?

Nate Wolters: Gym Rat Working Toward NBA Dream

It won’t be a surprise if an NBA team falls in love with Wolters during the pre-draft process. Every NBA team has scouted him at least once, according to SDSU coaches, so they have an idea what Wolters can do. Last season, he averaged 22.3 points, 5.8 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 1.7 steals. He had double-digit points in every game. His 53-point performance in February (in which he was 9-14 from three-point range) was the highest point total in a D-1 game all season. Wolters’ game film, and his basketball addiction, should get the attention of the executives around the league.

Kasarev has the kill and a great bb iq not sure about the motor.
schröder I am still trying to get info on.
kcp has the skill in shooting

I wouldn't cry with a karasev and wolters draft.

seems karasev is moving up the board.

With 14 and 21??

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Starting to lean towards Gobert with #14 and Karasev at 21. We get a third big that might be able to play both 4 and 5 spots and a true sg that can space the floor and shoot it, wich could limit Foye's minutes. These picks give us solid depth, then buy an early second to late first snag Wolters or Canaan.

Luke Ridinour was drafted 14 in 2003. He has had a 9 year career and is a solid back-up pg.

If the Jazz could get a 9-year back-up who averages 10 pts, 5 assists and shot 35% or greater from 3pt in this crummy draft, I would be thrilled.

FYI--Boris Diaw was drafted 21 that year. Another solid back-up.

Please don't mention little Dee again. I'm still heartbroken he is gone.

No.. you also need to be humble to realize what you need to work on in your game.

Burks is too cool for school for me...
