Following potential 2014 draftees

I have covered a lot of that in the past. Yes, the NCAA has substantial flaws and they need to be fixed if a two-year rule were to be implemented. I lack the desire to outline all the issues, but none of them are insurmountable.

Yes of course they are totally fixable. But it depends on the willingness. And the NCAA is unwilling to talk unless they can gain money out of it. That's why they might be listening on two and through rules because it will increase TV ratings and making college ball more competitive.
But I feel they are unwilling to grant their students anything unless their revenue stream is in danger. Which is why I hope some alternatives will emerge stronger with a two and through rule like well connected agents placing more mature guys for two years into a European program they trust to help them increase their skill level or the NBDL being a solid alternative. PJ Hairston for instance could help the NBDL's reputation if he learned from his "college experience" and also performs in the NBA.

I wasn't that impressed with Noah initially but he has grown on me. It would feel like a consolation prize if the Jazz ended up drafting him but I would be OK with it. I think he is a little bit better prospect than Gordon because he shoots better. If he grows anymore than Noah would be a steal. I still think the Jazz need more backcourt help but if he is the BPA when the Jazz pick I will be happy about it.

Outside of the top-4, I'm probably highest on Vonleh. Yes, I do agree the Jazz need a SF, but they also need another PF, preferably one who can shoot. There's always Marvin, but he's shown a LOT of inconsistency. I'd rather the Jazz find someone cheaper with more upside. Besides, wings are plentiful. Jazz have some cap room and should be able to sign or trade for one.

Any college player?

There is more information and you can more easily compare them to other players. We have seen their weaknesses over a season. Not saying it's an exact science, but there are more knowns in their formula than Exum's.

And yet players still bust. Players like, I don't know, maybe Derrick Williams.

Your logic is seriously flawed. If you don't think that teams have looked at Exum for at least one year that you're just trying to win an argument.

You're looking at it from the team's perspective. I'm looking at it from the player's perspective. If I'm a player, I'd want to be starting every single game, not just the line up that will allow me to play.


Aaron Gordon had made it public that he wanted to play the 3 at the next level. Take from that what you will.

I'm definitely looking at it from the player's perspective. If he's good enough to play, he will.

I think he's more concerned with playing lots of minutes than playing ''the 3''

I love HottieKKK, all of you guys need to chill seriously.

Just because it's your opinion doesn't mean it needs to be ours.

If I see a dumb opinion, I'm going to call it a dumb opinion…even if he is trolling.

I don't give a **** if he has the same opinion as me, but if I disagree with it, I have the right to ridicule his statements.

Quit being a bitch, buddy.

Vonleh seems intriguing, and then I watch him play and am just like, "hmmmm he seems okay, I guess?"

He seems too dumb and unathletic for the NBA. Also, I know he's long, but 6'8" still bothers me -- don't think he'll be able to get those jump hooks off (or his extremely slow face up shot for that matter).

His dribble and spin move look pretty at the NCA level, which is what drew me initially, but I wouldn't be excited to hear his name called on draft night.
