What's new

Following potential 2015 draftees

Hezonja has been getting fewer and fewer minutes with Barcelona last couple of weeks. Their injured players returned and it seems like he's lost his spot. Their coach seems like he doesn't like playing the young players. He got a DNP today in the Euroleague.

On a positive note, Pleiss had a nice game - 14:30 mins, 15 points(6/7 FG, 3/3 FT), 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 blocks... the worrying thing is... he fouled out in less than 15 minutes.
 
Is shutting down the opponent's PG important to winning? If so then Exum is your guy. We saw how he shut down Tony Parker and Mike Conley, and really messed with their offense. Add Gobert's rim protection and you've got x2 of your most important defensive positions in basketball covered. That lethal combination of speed, quickness and length is hard to beat.


.... and he's still only 19.

Scoring points is also important to winning.
 
the suggestion to trade hood and our pick to move up for hezonja was gold.

Hood and Burke really need to play well the rest of the season if only just to raise their trade value.

I'd throw in 2nd or even a future first too. This is an important moment for the Jazz. A trade like this might be doable if another team is equally happy with one of the other wings/forwards. There's enough parity in the 7 - 12 range, that we might be able to get some movement. It's similar to the trade up for Trey Burke.

Once you get to Hezonja, Johnson, Winslow, Oubre, Looney and Booker, along with some other guy who might make a leap between now and the draft (Kaminsky, Portis, Lyles, etc.), beauty might be in the eye of the beholder.
 
imagine moving up and getting hezonja and also moving up and getting Anderson

exum, Burke, Neto
Hayward, burks
hezonja, Anderson
favors, booker
Gobert, tomic

I like Anderson on the second team with his shooting and hezonja on the first team with his scoring. when we need a stop Anderson is brought in.

I could see a team covet bookers shooting and do the trade
