What's new

Following potential 2015 draftees

I know y'all hate it, but Kaminsky gives us a great different look as the 3rd big. Gobert doesn't need help and Kaminsky's shot has to be respected.
Frank and Rudy could really help advance the rest of the team more quickly with having elite rim protection and a true stretch big..

He'd be a good option for us at the end of the lottery. But if Tomic comes over, I'd rather take a chance on Oubre or Booker, assuming one of them is still there.
 
Portis is very interesting because he both can stretch the floor and is a good defender. The bad thing is his post game is non-existent and he can't really create for himself. I don't think he really needs to though. Our offense if executed well is supposed to create open looks for everybody. He's definitely an interesting prospect. I actually prefer him to Kaminsky.
 
Haha.. c'mon man... just Oubre, Kaminsky and Booker. No big deal.



I was right about Smart last year wasn't I?

No? Dude is a still a defensive beast. It's not like Exum is having much more success than Smart. I'm sure Smart's best performances have been better than Exum's.

Not saying I would take Smart over Exum, just think it's way premature to think Smart is a bust, especially if you aren't going to say the same about Dante.

Tonight I kept imagining what it would be like to have Devin Booker taking those open shots...

Well Smart did have 2 years of college... anyway only time will tell. I still don't think the Celtics have their PG of the future.
 
Replacing Burke this early would be short-sighted.

Inefficient O and bad defensively. No doubt he could improve his efficiency, but it's far more likely he'll always be streaky with no real feel for when he's shooting us out of games. On the other hand, I see no realistic scenario where he becomes a decent defender. Upgrading Burke could be one of the best ways to improve the team next year. No need to dump him for the sake of dumping him, but Utah should definitely be looking at upgrading Burke if the right opportunity presents itself.
 
I really like his passing in that video. He's also more mobile than I thought.

He reminds me of Dirk more than Porz does.

I remember how good Kelly Olynyk looked in the NCAAs and in summer league. It hasn't materialized in the pros quite the same, but I do see Kaminsky as a viable player. He's probably better than Cody Zeller, which says what exactly, I don't know...
