So he should become a football player? #shotsfired
PKM - Can you please provide us some insight on current Kentucky players as they relate to the Jazz?
Can you give me the top 4 players in order(based on how well they would fit in with our current roster)?
Where you think they should go in the draft, and how they are playing this year currently.
Thank you in advance.

Need more evaluation time, but as of now...
Julius Randle - will get drafted around 4/5. Playing very well. As a freshman leads the nation in double doubles. Beast at 6'9/255lbs.
Huge motor. Competitor. Leader. Range. Handles. Vision.
Needs to improve his right hand dribble and tighten up handles in the post. Best at attacking from the perimeter and once he gets a little momentum he's automatic to score, get to the line, or both. As a PF he's a bit redundant with the current Jazz roster, but he's a pure PF.
Willie Cauley-Stein - should go around 10. Playing very well. Legit 7 footer with fantastic mobility (last game Calipari had him shutting down Louisville's lightening fast guards.. and he had no problem guarding out on the perimeter. Great shot blocker (was recently averaging 6per).
His offense is raw but he is getting better by the game.. hasn't been playing bb for very long as he was an all-state wide receiver in Kansas (can u say legit speed and good hands??)
Being a center he's definitely not a need for the Jazz.
James Young - probably go 14/15. 3&D. Has ability to become a very good defender and has great size to play 2G at 6'7.
He's a career 45% 3pt shooter and I believe he'll get less streaky (only shooting it at 32% so far this season) as the season continues.
Can also rebound the ball very well. Doesn't lack much of anything, just needs some more game time experience.
I think he would be a good fit for the Jazz with his perimeter shooting and defense.
Andrew and Aaron Harrison (they're twins and their games are fairly similar. - both looking at mid to high teens.
Great ball handlers. Great vision. Strong. Andrew would be a nice pick to play with Burke as he's a legit 6'6 PG.. giving us a different look as needed. Both attack relentlessly. Aaron is a great shooter/scorer.
In the high teens either of these guys can be picked up with nice value and used interchangeably as PG/SG.
Yes he's quick enough and uber athletic. He has a shot too... in addition to his mental toughness issue, he needs to tighten his dribble as well.
Problem with watching a particular player for UK is their depth means it's a different guy each game... and Cal is usually calling a number at this point in the season. You can usually tell pretty quickly who he tells to take the game over (tells them pre-game).
He likes to have a team of guys that all know they can turn it on when asked. Young is fine and not a worry of mine at all.
He was MVP of the last game, btw.
Like I said, it's pretty hard to put up monster numbers with 6 first rounders on the team.. but Young did have 18pts, 10rbs, 4asts against Louisville.
