Following potential 2014 draftees

Definitely. I don't know if 220 will be his eventual playing weight, but that is 15 lbs heavier than even the big point guards like Westbrook, Dwill, and Rose. He would be a bowling ball down the lane. There's really no comparison you can draw up for Smart, he is a unique player.

Well, physically you can point to Stuckey and Baron Davis, but it's hard to come up with a direct comp.

Probably why many are so sour on him.

Easily one of the top 5 players. Nickk is a hater. Anyone who really watched enough of his games would know that if anyone will work his *** off on his weaknesses it will be smart. He is a warrior. One of the top 3 motors in this draft. He has all the intangibles to be great.

I've done enough "loving" around these parts for far too long, it's time I "hate" something for a change.

D-Rose btw is 6'1.5" w/o shoes. Classic plateau shoe cheater in college ;) (DX records a 6'3.5" in shoes from 2007, 1 year before his draft measurement) -> But he has a great 6'8" wingspan for his size.

Direct comp: Mix of Tyreke Evans and Defense.

I would be happy with Smart.

I would be disappointed. If that is the hand we are dealt I'll root for him but I am really hoping for Embiid, Wiggins, or Parker. I would definitely take Gordon over him, probably Randle and from what people say Exum. Smart with the 7th pick over Vonleh would be meh ok.
 
I like Smart I am just not in love with him. If he were a Jazzman then I would cheer for him like any other player. However, I see a bigger need at the SF position so I am a Wiggins guys. I am not ready to give up on Burke like a lot of Jazz fans (many who were going crazy over the pick).
 
In no way am i getting excited for Smart, and i have him 6th on my board. At this point I strictly view him as a consolation prize, if we have **** luck at the lottery then i can be sold on him, but still im going to worry about adding someone who shot .279 from 3 last year in conference play (.290 and .299 overall in his fresh/soph seasons) onto a team of guards with low 3pt%'s
 
Shooting percentages are not too important for draft prospects. That can be enhanced in time. What you need to seek out is more of the fundemantals, maybe elite athleticism -the things that cannot be taught- and learning capability -height of his ceiling. I know these sound like empty words but they really are important to consider when choosing.

I just worry about **** like this (thats the first shot of the game).

the jazz really don't need a low% chucker. For all the **** Jazzfanzers give to current NBA players for chucking i dont think they use the same fine tooth comb to separate the draftee's
 
Since the start I have been thinking that Smart is going to come up a bust. But one of the factors that build up a franchise pick is luck. Especially when you think about the steals in recent drafts.
