Following potential 2015 draftees

He even helped Korver to expand his game a bit.

Exactly. I think we should go for a guy with a lot of potential upside, high reward, high risk type of guy.

A nice little tidbit for Looney is he lead the Pac-12 in offensive rebounds this year.

Analytics are far from everything, but the fact that the average of all six of those major advanced analytic models rank Looney as the 5th best prospect suggests that there's at least a possibility (probably a strong one) that he's being overlooked; he could be a steal and should be among the main crop of prospects we consider at #12.

Tweener.

6'8"

Good not great athlete. Good wingspan. Very good rebounder. Not very strong and doesn't have much of a post game.

Dunno why anyone on the Jazz would draft him. He gives us nothing that Book doesn't already give us.

At 12 you go with either Frank, who'll never shrink and will always be able to stretch defenses or Booker and hope he turns into a Kyle Korver/Klay Thompson like bomber from 3.

Looney just makes zero sense to me. He gives us nothing that Evans or Book don't already give us.

6'9

7'3.5 wingspan (only half an inch shorter than Favors and Dwight)

222 lbs

His height/length obviously screams PF, but he's got the basis of SF skills (including the lateral quickness to guard SFs). He actually played on the perimeter much more than down low in high school. He's more of a face up player than back to he basket guy. In other words, he's potentially very versatile for someone his size.

Draft Express has Looney going at #19.

IMO, that's about right. He'd be worth taking in the late 1st round. Not in the lottery. In the lottery go with someone who either has size, sick athleticism, or devastating shooting ability.

At 12 I think the Jazz will have a shot at either Booker or Kaminsky. Both would either significantly upgrade our size or shooting.

Looney doesn't improve us at all. I don't understand the fan fare behind Terrence Jones/Paul Millsap lite when we already have The Book.

Every year this board creams itself over a few overrated tweeners it seems. Whether it be Harrison Barnes, Jones, Slow Mo, and now Looney.

I guess it stems from having our asses kicked all those years by Lamar Odom.

I think basketball is becoming more and more position-less. The Warriors win with Green as their center and Barnes as their power forward.
