Following potential 2014 draftees

Imagine if Burke turns out to be decent, low TO's, 5-6 assists per game, shoots 40% from 3's...

We draft Jabari with our pick and package GSW pick & Hayward to move up and grab Aaron Harrison.

Favors
Kanter
Jabari
Aaron Harrison
Burke

That's a very very decent team going forward.

- Solid leadership in Burke & Jabari.
- GREAT shooting (potentially) from Burke, Aaron, Jabari and Kanter
- Slashers in Aaron and Jabari
- Decent size & defensive potential
- CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP

...why not keep Hayward and draft Harrison with the GSW pick?

Doubt he goes much before 25 or so, anyways

It seems the Jazz should be able find out if Kanter and Favors have any defensive potential. Right now Favors yes, Kanter no. We shall see throughout the season if Kanter can play any defense.

No I say that he doesn't have it right now, else he'd be showing it. And I watched the whole game. These 2 seconds were the only he did it. Parker is average height for SF with good wingspan, but below average explosion/athleticism and strength. I don't see why he would be a dominant post player.
And I stated before I like the little things he did defensively. He'll be okay guarding 3s.

You're the only one in the world right now saying Parker has below average athleticism. Fascinating.

Just in case Hayward gets an offer that's too much for us to match. I'm just thinking about how we can leverage off of Hayward if we decide he'll cost too much to match....


I reckon with Burke running the show, Hayward's playing making ability might become a bit redundant too and he just isn't very consistent with his shooting.


Aaron Harrison would go around 10-16 which I think would be beyond the range of the GSW pick.
 
I'm almost convinced that after #10 in a draft you should draft players that can play, not on potential. So maybe pick Parker/McDermott. Although they probably play the same position, but that's just an example.

The counter argument to that is you can sign players who can "just play" on the free agent market every year.

I think you're overestimating how high Aaron will be drafted. James Young, however, is already in Ford's Top 10.

I'd love it if we could package Burks and the GS pick to move up and grab Young.

Where do you think he'll go? I think Aaron will probably be picked somewhere between 10-16...


The GSW pick will probably be around #22... so we'll still need to give up something to move up. If we're not sold on Hayward and don't want to be in a bidding war to get him, then we should get something back for him IMO.

Or.....

Maybe it would be possible to move up for Andrew Harrison? His stock has fallen a bit, and most teams already have their PG. People say you always go BPA, but I think it's a little different with PG's. Look at Burke. He was pegged as a top 5 pick and fell all the way to 9 (and would have fallen further if we hadn't traded up to that spot) because teams already had their PG of the future. Then you factor in that Marcus Smart could very well be the first PG taken, and he might just fall far enough for us to move up for with the assets that we have.
