Following potential 2014 draftees

[Jazz4ever]

Chances we have another lottery pick in 2015? I'd say pretty high...

Not sure about that. Assuming we have to pay Gordon about 12 million a year, the Jazz are going to have to add around 15-16 million in payroll to just meet the minimum. That's enough to get 2 really good bench players well above Marvin Williams and Richard Jefferson's level.

I'll obviously trust the empirical data but it doesn't pass the look test. I guess Davis' far superior athleticism make him seem longer.

I guess it's maybe because he's more wiry. Narrow shoulders say he's got great arm length. But then his standing reach is 3 inches smaller than Okafor's. So maybe Okafor's shoulder are a little higher or his head smaller - as you wanna look at it

MIller's will be afraid of a two year tank.. we'll be good next year. Not because of the Miller's desire to win, but the strategy of Lindsey to be good quickly following a tank year.

Davis is not narrow shouldered at all... wide in fact.

I've said this before, but Jahlil Okafor's game is similar to Tim Duncan's game.

If that's the case the Jazz should tank again next year.

PKM where do you rate Okafor among Wiggins, Parker, and Randle as overall potential?

How about this guy's wingspan

He already had 9 blocks the other night. Man I'd like to see that guy standing next to Yao

I disagree. He's more bruiser than Duncan. I see why you're saying what you're saying... and I do get it.

Not overly athletic, fantastic post moves, great bbIQ...

nevermind, I'm seeing it more than I was a few seconds ago.. lol

I'm not PKM, but this is how I would put it.

Wiggins
Okafor
Parker
Randle

But they're all very close.

4th. Calipari has raved about Okafor and has said he thinks he could be a transcendental PF/C talent... but I haven't seen it yet.

If he were in this draft class I'd put him around #5.

Haha, like I said...it's similar, but not exactly the same.
