Following potential 2015 draftees

I do think there are a couple value bigs available in the 2nd round that might be good. If Booker or Oubre are available I could see us going wing in first round and going with a Holmes, Christmas, McCullough in the second round.

Upshaw is untouchable though. Stuff will eventually leak out on him, but there were some rumors that no reporters would share about him that must be really serious. More than one guy has said he may not even be drafted at all.. its more than just alcohol and weed.

Tyler Haws anyone? This from a Suns website:
"BYU's Tyler Haws was the oldest of the bunch at 24, which is even older than Brandon Knight. Haws served a two-year mission in the Philippines after his freshman year.

As a senior, he scored more total points than any Division I player and ranks 20th all-time for scoring with shooting ability on pull-ups and mid-range and 3-point range.

The Utah native was 9 when Suns coach Jeff Hornacek retired from the Jazz.

"In some ways, there are similarities in my game, shooting off-balance shots and getting in the lane and just finding different ways to score," Haws said. "I've always admired Jeff and what he's doing."

Haws set the Suns' draft-workout record for the three-minute run, completing 28 3/4 lengths of the court. That broke former ASU star Carrick Felix's mark of 28 1/4."

He passed jimmer to become byu's all time leading scorer iirc. As for breaking that running record. Byu plays at an extremely fast pace so im not surprised.
 
I hadn't realized he was such a prolific scorer in college. He kind of reminds me of Matthew Dellavedova now with the Cavs and who played at St. Marys.

We take RJ Hunter actually... Not the worst trade in the world, but I'd rather not swap Burke for Sessions.

Actually, it's a terrible trade considering that they had the Celtics move up into the top 6 from 16 for a late 1st and early 2nd round pick. Given the assets available to the Jazz, a move up for any of Winslow, Porzingis or Johnson would be a much better result than dumping Burke for a retread, picking up a (likely) non-lottery pick next year and settling for a Tier 4 player in the draft.

They'd be much better off just drafting Turner themselves at that point.

I said it wasn't the worst trade in the world... the other trade would never happen. It is funny when these sportswriters are way off in how they value things. 16,28,33 will not get you 6... add in Smart, Bradley, or one of the BKN picks and maybe.

I could see the Jazz doing something like this, though I wouldn't move down to 19 unless someone they really liked slipped. The extra pick could be good next year with Washington though... Pierce may not be back and they are a Wall or Beal knee injury away from the lotto. If they liked Looney more than Turner or even had them as similarly rated prospects and you can pick up an extra pick it may be the pick that helps you net a veteran in a trade.

So say we followed up this deal (although we don't send Burke) with a Burke + Was pick+ GS pick and cap fodder for Holiday or Lowry? Still a bad deal? Not sure I'd do it but it isn't a bad idea.

My first choice would be to move up but sometimes you can't find a partner that wants what you have. I think we'd make a better offer for #6 than was accepted in this mock though.
 
R J Hunter shoots below 30% from college 3's and doesn't look remotely like an NBA player to me. Also looks to have limited upside given his physical/athletic limitations.


I would be VERY surprised if the Jazz trade down to grab him.
