Interesting, has the jazz at #1 with wiggins and then at #12


Also some people keep mumbling that Parker might not go into the draft next year. What do you think the probability is of him staying?


I was also thinking that the Jazz will definitely try and move up in the draft. It just seems like we don't want more rookies outside of getting a star potential player in the draft. We already have a pretty young core and will need to add some sort of good bench.

I put Jabari as 99% coming out if he's consensus top 3. Moving up (combining picke) also rids of an asset that we could have traded in some other way.. even if we don't want more rookies.... so it still comes down to where we get best value.

I'm super intrigued by Exum, but I worry about how our system would use him.

Parker is #2 for me behind Wiggins.

Agree.

Good to see you talk bball once in a while.

Nice way of handling it. In other words.. stop.

why do so many people have parker going around 7 that seems odd to me. 3 of the 4 mocks I just googled have smart exum and gordon going ahead of him.

I kinda want Wiggins to go to the Raptors, and Jabari to fall to us. That's my dream draft right there. I'll have more fun winning a championship when no one expects us to-- as opposed to always having targets on our back a la Cleveland with Lebron for his 7 seasons there. Plus, Wiggins will be in another conference, and as a Canadian I don't want Canada basketball to always be the laughing stock of the league.

Because there are plenty of poor prognosticators. The word got out that he was a pedestrian athlete and it hurt his mock draft stock... but he is a sutficient athlete with elite skill and bbIQ.

This is why Americans don't like Canadians. Pick a team you shifty bugger. If you're going to root for the Raptors to get the best player in the draft I gotta say that's not cool.

Jazz are my team 110%. Im just more of a romantic basketball-fan, and have preferences as to HOW we win a championship one day. There's nothing wrong with that.

The only reason I have Wiggins going to the Raptors (ahead of any other team) is because I want there to be Canadian representation in the NBA always-- and the match between Wiggins and that franchise just makes sense for all parties. Wiggins could save Canada basketball.

pkm tell me why you don't like Gary Harris, other than his height?

 

[Dr. Jones]

I never once said I don't like him. I just don't think he's a lottery guy in this class.

At 6'4 the guy needs to be a very good athlete and have very good handles.. he has neither, appreciably.

He's not great with his mid-range game and just overall a fairly polished one-dimensional player.

Jodie Meeks.

Clowning with you was an offseason past-time. Now that real basketball has returned, I'm gonna start ignoring trolls. See you next offseason. You're an excellent phony.
