Following potential 2014 draftees

[BTP]

I want the draftexpress mock to happen

Parker
Austin
stauskus


Burke, Neto
Hayward, burks
Parker, stauskus
kanter, Austin
favors, Gobert

that would be an awesome team

This lineup would suck more defensively than the Tankers. That's a 3 or 4 seed. Nuttin more.

wrong. That would be a top 3-4 team in the NBA within 2 years, and competing for a title after that.

Nope. This is a team that on that Durant drops 40 points shooting 65% from the field every single time, because they have no defense other than Favors.
It's awfully similar to the Rockets for example.

Hayward can play good defense.
Burke too.
Gobert too

Vonleh is 8 for his last 11 3's... now shooting 53% from deep on the season

Yeah its time we start paying attention to this guy given our tank trajectory.

Hayward can play good defense.
Burke too.
Gobert too

Burke = no defense. He just likes to speak about his long arms.
Hayward, effort yes, but his athleticism is too underwhelming. He can't bother Durant -> big nono.
Gobert may be good. We'll see. But only Favors won't be enough. You need 1 tough defensive big and 1 wing defneder with long arms and good lateral quickness to force opposite wings into uncomfortable shooting positions and away form the basket. Then you need 1 or 2 more from the bench. Let's look at your bench. Alec Burks? Good joke.

Yeah its time we start paying attention to this guy given our tank trajectory.

I don't know if he'd be redundant to Favors. Low skill, big time athlete. Has long ways to go but I don't wanna risk that if another option is on the table. After this year the Jazz won't be high in the lottery for quite some time. So you gotta nail it IMO. No 2nd chance

53% from deep doesnt seem redundant to favors or low skill

If we're picking 7th, I'd be okay with Gordon or Vonleh. It would be a let down after getting my hopes up on Wiggins/Parker, but we'd still get a solid piece with a lot of upside. Not sure which one of them I prefer at this point doe

I'm thinking Vonleh for the long game. At 6'10" and 7'4" wingspan he could potentially bother Durant who seems to be able to score 40-50 at will. At the end of the day he is the gatekeeper in the west for the next 7 years.
