What's new

Following potential 2015 draftees

I'm seeing Hayes as a back-up. He has some nice tools, but he doesn't have the size or speed right now to be an impact starter. He'll be a nice defensive player.

Bold Prediction: Nigel Hayes will be a better player than Kelly Oubre.
 
It'll depend where he lands though.. with the 76ers Oubre probably won't amount to much, but the Spurs could probably turn him into Kawhi Leonard 2.0.

I agree! I am a firm believer in improvement being related to your enviroment (weirdly, I've found some people don't believe this). But you should watch Popovich talk about player development and life in general in this video: https://youtu.be/EC-h9t6v9jA?t=3m10s. It will blow your mind. If Oubre doesn't work hard, no one can help him. But I think we're overstating Oubre's lack of work ethic. He'll be a good player.
 
Oubre and Hayes are very different players, but I'd expect Oubre to be more impactful because he's quicker and prototypical for the wing position.

So yeah, I'd say that's a bold prediction.
 
BOLD PREDICTION:

The Jazz will draft SOMEONE at #12. He won't play much next season.

I think there's a pretty good chance they trade the pick. DL and others in the Jazz brass have brought it up a few times. Although, DL did say there are players well after 12 that they like.
