Following potential 2015 draftees

So comes the narrative that Looney isn’t ready for the NBA, his asthma is a problem and that his stock is dropping – the problem is that’s not at all what’s happening. Teams higher on the draft board are trying to re-arrange dates to get Looney in, and as more teams see him in their building, there is a sense that Looney’s floor, which was believed to be No. 20 to the Toronto Raptors, may in fact be substantially higher. -Basketball Insiders

GM's may want his stock to rise because they don't want him.

This reminds me of the Celtics driving up Vonmeh's draft stock last year. All the sudden a bunch of mocks had us taking him.(IIRC there were at least a few JFers that were fish hooked by it)

Wait, is a higher floor mean before 20 (<19) or above 20(>19)?

I'm not swayed. I want no part of Dekker.

I'm a Dekker fan. The thing about Wisconsin is that they play so damn slow. Dekker may have looked way better on a team that pushed the pace more. I can see him, with his size and athletic ability, looking much better in the NBA.

Shrug. There are a lot of guys I like better than him that I don't even consider him an option. But I didn't like Hayward either. Apparently I'm a racist.

U act as though Vonleh is a bust already. His season last year was ruined by injury and he was my guy before the college season was over and still think he has potential to be an allstar.

Damn u two. I'm trying like hell to get off the Dekker's bandwagon these posts don't help.

I see Corey Brewer. Hopefully he can be more consistent than Brewer though.

Brewer lists 6'9" and is skinny as a rail (190 lbs). Plus he couldn't shoot when he came into the league. Qualls is built pretty solidly and has a better jumper.
 
If no one slips to 12, I think this will come down to Looney and Booker. Both would be great fits for the Jazz. Even if Oubre is there, I'm not sure the Jazz will take him.
 
I like Dekker well enough. I can't help but compare him to Chandler Parsons. I just don't see him doing anything that's elite. Nice athlete though. I'll be surprised if the Jazz take him. It will mean they see something special in him like they did with Hayward.

I'd be fine with Dekker at #12, fwiw.

I would hope they'd take Booker in this situation.
