Following potential 2015 draftees

Hey guys, it's been awhile. Been real busy with basketball season.

Can someone bring me up to date with who we think would be a good pick for the Jazz at their current spot?

A couple guys who I've watched play and think would be a solid pick is Justise Winslow and Kelly Oubre.

Then there is the big guys, Frank Kaminksy, Kevon Looney, Kristaps Porzingis, Myles Turner, not really too sold on any of those guys at the moment. I do love me some Willie Cauley-Stein, though not sure if the Jazz are targeting bigs if Tomic comes over? Not even sure if those guys will be available anyways, I've seen all of those guys in the top-10 in most mocks except for Kaminsky.

Not sure where Stanley Johnson's stock is at right now (#5 on DX, #12 on ESPN), but I've watched Arizona play a lot this year and would love it if the Jazz could somehow come away with him in the draft. Also, Devin Booker is another guy to keep an eye on, dude is the best shooter in the draft.

What are the Jazz's needs? Do they see Exum as the PG of the future?

It would be cool to have Kaminsky on the team cuz I think he is a boss, but I just don't feel like he could play alongside Gobert defensively. Seems like it would force him too much out to the perimeter.

Help me understand this sentence. What is "it" and who is "him"? The reason I ask is that I too think it would be cool to have Kaminksy and I think he is a boss as well, but I don't see why he couldn't play with Gobert defensively. Seems like he would be a great fit next to Gobert on both ends. I'm willing to be educated, however.

(edit) Maybe you are saying that "it" - playing with Gobert - would pull "him" - Kaminsky - out and he'd have trouble with the quicker 4s. If so, I guess I can see that to an extent, though those quicker 4s would have trouble defending Kaminsky on the other end too.

Would be nice to have Kaminsky coming off the bench for 20-25 min a night though, no?
 
Cy said:
Yeah, but would it be more sweet to have Bobby Portis? Or someone else?

Depends, Portis could totally be a guy that never gets off the bench and is out of the league when his rookie contract is up. I have more faith in Kamkinsky being a solid role player than I do Portis even though Portis ceiling is higher.
 
I wonder what the opinion will be on Kaminsky when his wingspan measurements come out. Let me go Fabtrey for a second, he is going to have a smaller wingspan than his height.

Hayward's wingspan is shorter than his height I'm pretty sure.
 
I haven't watched Portis at all... What makes you think he could bust?

If we aren't bringing over tomic then frank the tank is a no brainer to me unless hezonja or Johnson falls to us.

Nah, it was an inch longer than his barefoot height.


I'm not saying wingspan is a huge deal to me, but it is kind of important for big men. Just curious how far he will fall in people's eyes. 4th year lottery picks don't have a good track record.

Its a pretty big deal imo. Length is the biggest physical difference between the NBA now and the NBA of the past. Players are fairly close to the same height but are much much longer nowadays. Especially with Kaminskys limited jumping ability his wingspan will be a big deal imo. Hopefully its not too short as this would affect my opinion of him.
