Following potential 2015 draftees

Did DL and the Jazz really like Olynk? Well, Kaminsky is a much better Olynk.

Does anybody like Justin Anderson?

Since we've started with the lists, here's mine about 3 weeks before the draft:

1. Karl-Anthony Towns
2. D'Angelo Russell
3. Emanuel Mudiay
4. Jahlil Okafor
5. Mario Hezonja
6. Justise Winslow
7. Kristaps Porzingis
8. Willie Cauley-Stein
9. Stanley Johnson
10. Myles Turner*
11. Kelly Oubre Jr
12. Kevon Looney*
13. Devin Booker
14. Bobby Portis
15. Frank Kaminsky
16. R.J. Hunter
17. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson
18. Sam Dekker
19. Trey Lyles
20. Montrezl Harrell

1-8 ecstatic if we land any of them at 12
9-12 I'd be very happy with
13-17 I'd be OK with
18-20... meh, kinda don't like...

*those assume that both Looney and Turner are medically cleared and there are no concerns for their long-term health.

Second round wishlist: Jarell Martin, J.P. Tokoto , Richaun Holmes, George De Paula, Timothe Luwawu, Alpha Kaba, Marc Garcia, Cedi Osman, Aleksandar Vezenkov - a ton of stash players mainly...

Or Adams. I don't remember it ever being stated which 5 they wanted. I just remember the rumor that they liked a five (some guessed it was Olynyk), but they knew he'd be off the board when they picked.

Me me me i love anderson

So bench bigs don't have to play defense? Oh ok, I didn't understand that.

We don't know that Frank will be a bad defender on the jazz.

Maybe turner, looney, portis, oubre, etc will all be bad defenders at the next level
Hell maybe some of those guys (turney, looney) will have health issues and barely ever play in the nba.

You're right, we don't. It's just my opinion. But I've watched him play several times and I agree with the DX assessment. He makes an effort, but he struggled defensively at Wisconsin and it will be harder for him in the NBA. Coaching and a weight room might help, but it's still a pretty big wart. No one in the 12 range is without warts tho.

So Cameron Payne is really getting looks as high as 4 and 6? I like him but really? If he goes before we pick that'd be great... Keep pushing those other guys down to us.

I'm honestly fine with taking him at 12

That's definitely a reach. We could easily get him in the early 20's.

If he's your guy you trade down and pick up value along the way... its stupid not to.
