Interesting that DX still only has Cameron Payne at #14.
Following potential 2015 draftees
- Thread starter Dr. Jones
- Start date

Agreed, although I'd take him ahead of Okafor as well as Mudiay. Out of the realistic options, he is by far (imo) the best fit due to his athleticism, offensive potential, & upside (along with the fact that he can play the 2/3 & possibly start in the future). He's one of the few prospects in this draft that I would be willing to make a significant trade to move up for. Just curious what you would be willing to give up for him?

I knew so little about Hezonja but man, he looks like he could be special. Only him and Russell scream special to me.
Although Turner - though a project to some degree - could be pretty outta the park too.
No way jazz can trade up to get Russell. They might be able to trade up for Hezonja if he falls 7-9.

Miami has DWade wanting a new deal that's bigger than what Miami is reportedly offering. They have Dragic as a free agent wanting a max deal, and Dragic re-signing might be affected by Wade's situation. They then have Shabazz Napier as their other PG coming off a hernia (although they have Chalmers who is sort of a PG). I would think Payne is somewhere on their short list at #10.
I could honestly talk myself into about 20 players at #12.

Same here. That's why I probably won't be mad with whoever we pick. I trust the front office to make the right decision this time.

I have 9 guys that I see as potential impact players - Towns, Russell, Okafor, Winslow, Hezonja, Johnson, Porzingis, Mudiay and Turner. Don't care who, what pick or how they get there. . . I just want one of those guys for the Jazz. My preference is to package 12, Burke and a future pick (2016 1st or OKC pick) to move up into the top 9 and aggressively pursue whoever they feel the best about.
After that, I have 19 guys that I'd be okay with them using a mid-to-late 1st round pick on - WCS, Kaminsky, Oubre, Booker, RHJ, Dekker, Payne, Looney, Lyles, Grant, Portis, De Paula, Hunter, Anderson, Harrell, Wright, Jaiteh, Wood and Jones.
At 12, if the top 9 are gone, you take your highest rated of WCS, Kaminsky, Oubre or Booker. And then probably sit tight. Hopefully the Jazz can get one of the aforementioned potential impact players and then look at sending pick #42 and cash to move back up into the mid-to-late 1st so they can steal the next Gobert or Hood. I don't think I'd move up for 2 role players, but if I got an impact guy first, I'd consider moving back up into the meat of the draft to grab another.
2nd round should be BPA or draft and stash international guys. I'd be happy getting any of McCullough, Vaughn, De Paula, Jaiteh, Vezenkov, Christmas, Dakari Johnson, Luwawu, Rozier, Qwalls, Hanlan, Osman, maybe one of the Harrison twins and/or Dieng in the 2nd to either develop overseas or look at during training camp.
Is KAT the next Tim Duncan?

If you're asking if I'd trade Hood, I'd definitely consider it, although I'd prefer to keep him if at all possible. I'd also consider moving Burks to get Hezonja. Not trading Exum, though.

Whatever they're selling, Givony aint buying.
Givony read Jazzfanz Mock Draft and agreed.
