Marcus Smart is struggling in a serious way the last few games. That jumper still needs work. Still my guy, just hope he turns it around in the second half of conference play.

I dont totally hate smart.... but for this jazz team with burke, burks, and hayward, i dont want him at all.

I want a small forward or a stretch 4 or a backup power forward
 
This Kentucky team is trolling so hard...jeopardizing leads all the time. How much do you age average in an UK game PKM?
 
I just can't help but think Markel Brown would be a huge steal in the second round. For as much as I like Zach LaVine, with him it's all potential, not much production at this point in his young career. In Brown, you have a finished product who reminds me a ton of Burks out of Colorado. Perhaps even more athletic, probably a better pure shooter without the all-around talent or ability to draw fouls like Burks.

I am not a big fan of smart. I don't hate him but if the Jazz are picking around 6-8. I'd rather take a little bit of a flier on James Young or one of the Harrison twins. I know this is high for these guys but I think they have more potential than Smart. Besides I would probable move down if possible after the top 5 guys are gone.

Stauskas.


on the app. square bizness.
 
my run down of the top 10 and how I would see them fit.

embiid - I wet myself just thinking of him playing for the jazz. I think he is the type of player you can build around. if the jazz didn't get top 3 I would seriously consider an offer of kanter and favors to draft embiid.

wiggins - he is so effortless out on the court it seems like he is coasting. has a great chance to be the best and would a great fit playing either the 2 or the 3. the question would be would burks be happy being the super sub (6th man)

Parker - I see him as the perfect at the 3 for the jazz. little concerned about his defense and scoring over length. I think he will eventually have to transition to the 4 but for the first 8 to 10 he should be able to play the 3. I personally think he is going back to duke.

exum - is for me the hardest to judge because I know so little. I see him for the jazz playing the 2 but getting all the back up minutes to Burke., again can burks be the super sub?

randle - I am still very high on him. I think against single coverage he will be almost unstoppable. I think he could play very well next to favors. then have kanter anchor the second unit.

smart - I love 2 way players. his shot concerns me and the fact he won't be able to over power ever player he faces. in this case I would make him the super sub and start burks unless he likes his role. he would play the 1 and the 2 all Back up minutes.

vonleh - if the jazz could pull off the embiid trade and keep their own pick a front line of embiid and vonleh would soon be the best in the nba. if he is just drafted I love him with kanter because of his defense and favors. I am big on vonleh.

Gordon - love his defense. hard to find players that enjoy playing defense. he seems like he will have the work ethic to get better offensively but a 3 pt shot will be come important. I see him playing the 3 for the jazz but like Parker will eventually need to transition to the 4.

ok make it only 8 after this it gets muddy.
