I think Green is a great comparison. Hadn't thought of that one before. Green with his head screwed on right would have been a nice player a lot sooner than this year.

word. doc rivers said something like 'green just didn't know how to play basketball'.

no substance in his game. guys like that takes forever to grow up. and by the time you become somebody you lose that great athletic ability. fortunately for green's case he still has that mad athleticism and he really worked hard at getting better. green really is a poster child for raising the age limit. imagine green going to duke for 3 years. he would've been decent right away.

i feel like lavine needs to stay in school for 2 more years. he got tools to be great down the road. but i want somebody who can step right in and give me good 25 minutes.

Still good news for us, even if the draft pick only moves a couple of spots.

I'm counting on Lindsey combining the GS pick and the 2nd-rounder to move into the late teens. Just a spot or two higher could help. Maybe Boston at #18 could be a trade partner; they need more players. If New York makes the playoffs, perhaps Orlando (they'll get that pick via Denver) would even trade the #15 pick for the #22 and #35 (not likely, though).

With a high lottery pick, the GS selection and an early 2nd, the Jazz will have everyone and their dog in for workouts. It will be fun listening to all the post-workout interviews. It's always an interesting thread when we debate the nuances of what has been said by Lindsey, Perrin and the players.

PKM, make Jabari declare for the draft already.

I hear PKM is meeting with Adam Silver. As a reward for not losing on purpose, Jazz are going to win the lottery this year, pick Wiggins, and then pull an Orlando and win again next season from the 14th spot. That's why Jabari isn't declaring; he's waiting for the deal to be finalized before declaring he'll return to Duke. It's a little complicated because Coach K is also part of the package. Stern tried to get him to coach an NBA team for years, but he just wouldn't budge. Lindsey now has to strike a 1-year deal with either Corbin or another coach. Sloan has been reluctant to assume the reigns again and then step aside for Coach K in 2015.
 
Was just checking some of the mock draft sites for updates. Played the lottery game on ESPN and got Utah at #1 the first time (Parker). Second time Utah was #2 (Parker again) and Wiggins went #1 to Boston. Maybe Jazz should send ME to the lottery.

Wiggins coming up #1 for everyone except Utah and Cleveland. Parker is #2 for everyone else except Orlando and Sacramento so far.

I don't put any stock in that stuff. There are teams, fur sure, that would take Embiid over Parker, and I'm sure there are still some that have him over Wiggins.
