Following potential 2015 draftees

Anybody know how it works when drafting an injured player? Do they count towards the 15 man roster? If not, then I'd still consider Qualls at 54. That pick is almost worthless. Even injured, Qualls would represent good value there and can spend this as a redshirt season.

I would prefer Kaminsky to work out for us, because our FO doesn't care if he comes for a workout or not when picking. They've proven in the last several years that they will draft players that don't want to work out for the Jazz. So if he's there at 12 and we are on the clock, I prefer DL to have as much information about him as possible, and to know that whether he picks him or not - it was because they've decided so based on the best possible information they could have.

Only because they were in a higher tier. Overall I think the Jazz are done drafting players who won't work out. It generally doesn't end well (Koufas, Burke, Kanter, Exum?).
Teams are passing on these guys for reasons. If Frank Kaminsky gives us the middle finger, the Jazz will not draft the guy.
 
Random small trade thought... rumored somewhere, prolly basketball insiders, that the Lakers want to offload the #27 pick to defer some guaranteed salary. Would you trade the OKC pick and draft rights to Neto for it? Or OKC pick and another 2nd rounder for it?

Or do we want to pass on another rookie for this year because we already are so young.

Why would we pay more than what we get? It's no. 27 pick, it's not like it's in the teens... and you are doing them a favor? If we do it, we do it for a single first rounder - most probably OKC or GSW.

I wouldn't do it for the GSW pick (its completely unprotected and in a very good draft)... The OKC pick has protections on it and can't be conveyed at the earliest until 2018. I don't think they are a playoff team at that point... I don't think they can keep Russ, Serge, and KD together and all 3 have had injury issues.

We aren't really doing them a favor... we get a first out of the deal. We have so many 2nds I don't really think we will actually be able to use them.
 
This "mystery" Argentinian, Juan Pablo Vaulet born in 1996 seems intriguing enough to have a 2nd round promise.

I've scoured the webs for vids and translated news, he's been in the US recently. He looks fairly explosive, long armed and shows a decent first step(1:48). at the bottom of the 2nd round its a crap shoot, why not go with a young player with some talent and give it some time.

He looks similar (but smaller) to the 6th rated player in DX's 1996 rankings, Aleksa Illic, whos probably more stuck between the 3/4.

Utah doesn't have the luxury of passing on guys who won't work out for us. They will always take the best prospect and hope the guy learns to love the team.
