Following potential 2015 draftees

[seattlejazzfan]

Jazz still "looking for a distributing point guard." ? Who? They can't get Deangelo. Is a Payne a distributor? ...sigh. I thought the league was hedging toward combo guards.

Jerian Grant is the best distributing PG available. Plus size, athleticism, solid shooting. You get a distributer and a combo in one swoop. One of the more underrated prospects prior to the draft, tbh.

From Sheridan Hoops...dang, I really want Turner.

Two names in the later part of the NBA Lottery that are rising are Texas big man Myles Turner and Arizona SF Stanley Johnson who are both potentially joining the top-10. I’m told Turner has been a target of teams starting around pick 7 and should be gone by the time Utah picks at 12. Johnson’s name has been linked to Detroit and Miami a lot this week and is certainly off the board by 13.

That sucks. Realistically, these were the two guys that I liked most for #12. I'd prefer to have Utah hang on to their future assets, but I'm not sure I want the Jazz to stay put and pick between Kaminsky, Oubre and Booker. Maybe see if a deal with Burke and the OKC pick can jump up a few spots for one of them.

5: 7'1" Gobert
4: 6'10" Favors
3: 7'3" Porz
2: 6'8" Hayward
1: 6'6" Exum

Dang we're gonna be long if we get Porz.

No way Porzingis can play SF. He would get absolute burnt on the perimeter, especially by screens.

Did I miss something? How are the jazz getting "Porz"?

Plays like a small forward in a body not unlike that of Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo, or Anthony Davis

 

[Park Bites]

it would probably be

7-1 gobert
6-10 favors
6-8 hayward
6-8 hood
6-7 exum

According to https://www.sheridanhoops.com/2015/06/24/mock-draft-6-0-cousins-on-the-move-knicks-on-the-outside-looking-in/#yDTwwgr5FfkzKrQ2.99 Booker is a lock to go to Charlotte @ 9. This site further suggests that if Booker is off the board at 9 Charlotte may trade back with either Utah or Phoenix (I think to get Hunter).

Gsw's puck could be a high 20's to 30th pick. Is 2017 that deep?

It could also be top ten. You just never know what could happen with injuries, so no point in putting a low value on an unprotected pick.
