Following potential 2014 draftees

I like Dekker. Early in the season I was hyping him as a lottery pick, then he kind of had a bad month or so of games, and I kind of realized that he isn't ready to be a lottery pick. Just doesn't have ability to create his own offense. Like him if the Warriors make the playoffs though. Good D, Good shot, good athlete.


This is probably a lazy comparison, but Dekker and Parsons remind me a lot of each other. Average to good shooters from deep, athletic, smart players, struggle from the FT line. Granted Parsons has done much better in the NBA than I thought, but Dekker does remind me of Parsons in college.

Possibly. Parson's rise in the NBA has been weird. Not really sure what his handle is like though. Dekker's dribble is awful.

Yeah, I suppose that would be a major difference. Parson's could handle the ball fairly well in college if I remember right. Dekker seems like a 3 and D type of guy to me, which we could use.
 
DX tweets about Jusuf Nurkic:
Very difficult not to go overboard from what we saw from Jusuf Nurkic tonight. 16 points & 15 rebounds in 17 minutes, w/out breaking a sweat

Probably need to move Nurkic into the lottery, and that might still be too low. His talent is simply off the charts.

Bosnian version of DeMarcus Cousins? RT @jondelapresa: awesome potential, gotta improve Nurkic's attitude tho, but game comes so easy to him
 
16 points, 10 assists, 3 rebounds, 6 steals, 2 blocks

Idk how such a stat stuffer with his competitiveness and character doesn't get more love around here.
 
All things considered, I'd be happy if we ended up with Smart.

If Jazz end up in top 6 and everyone declares, then they will be OK. After the top 6, then the rest all have some bigger ?'s. Some of them could end up being great, but the top 6 are more of a sure thing imo. I wouldn't have a problem with drafting Smart. Would be a great combo off the bench.
