What's new

Following potential 2015 draftees

This sounds very similar to how Cal coaches up these elite recruits. That's what he's best at.. getting them to buy into team and be selfless for their brotherhood.
It takes much more than identifying a personality trait, it takes a strong and charismatic coach, which the Jazz have.

Go BPA and allow Quin to do his thang.

****ing finally.
 
As we settle into the 8-12 range, I'm more and more intrigued by Kevon Looney. He'd fit in really well with our frontcourt, gives us a lot of matchup versatility. He'd be a great 4 alongside Favors/Kanter if we wanted to go small.
 
I think you're exaggerating this thing with Oubre. In that article I posted awhile back I think he specifically used the word "humbling" to describe his struggles as a freshman. Is he exactly like Kawhi's personality? Maybe not, but I don't necessarily think he's the punk you portray him to be. Peeks said he doesn't think Oubre would be a locker room cancer for the Jazz.

But I really don't know. At the end of the day, I'll trust DL's decision. If he thinks Oubre's personality would be a problem, then cool. Or if there's someone else available that he just thinks is flat out BPA, then also cool. But I don't think there's enough evidence to completely brush off the possibility of us drafting Oubre.

Yeah and that's why I preface my take with "I don't know Oubre personally". The thing with Smart last year was different, he actually had a public outburst with the fan - the whole world saw that. Plus the issue with his shooting.


Oubre seems like a more well rounded player and hasn't had that outburst so for all we know he might have a great character. Who knows, not enough info to make a call unfortunately.
 
I'm obviously watching his worst sampling, but Portis isn't NBA ready based on these last two games I've watched.


Kentucky on the other hand.....good lord.
