funny the more Mario speaks the more he seems like a complete arse but an arse that I want.

Like Draymond Green... I hate that guy, but if he was on my team he's likely be one of my favorite players.
 
Hezonja looks like he did not play at all today. Wonder if he is in the doghouse or injured? Both Tomic and Pleiss had good games. Wonder if we asked for the rights to Abrines during the Kanter trade discussions? He definitely has a chance for a NBA career.

Draft express said they held him out because of his comments on the draft.

Because he said he should be the #1 pick? Or did I miss something?

Basically... I don't think they like him talking about the draft... Want him to focus on their season. Just a guess.

Damn commies ..... He does seem like a pain in the *** so I'm sure they had good reason.

I think he is, but I was a pain in the *** when I was 20 and I wasn't even a famous basketball player. I think he's the right kind of pain... Seems to think he should be playing more. The guy is spectacular.

He is certainly a great player. Beautiful shot, good athleticism, a lot of Hayward in his D ... I'd love to have him.

Lots of NBA people came to see Mario Hezonja today, but after his interview about the Draft, Barcelona decided to keep him out of the roster

Bet the scouts were pissed. Does not really look like there are any other good nondrafted prospects on either team. Wonder if he keeps talking if the team may just released and he could come over to the US early and start working out.

Would you say hes a generational talent?

His agent would... Otherwise why would he be drafted so high?

Seriously though I just think he is really athletic and his jumper is pure and it goes in. If you can shoot like that on an nba spaced court then the first step becomes deadly. If he gets his mind right I think he could be as good or better than Klay. He's got just better physical tools.
 
Hezonja is exactly what the Jazz need--an athletic alpha scorer with an attitude. Plus he can play either wing position. If the Jazz want to go small, they can play Hayward some minutes at PF and spread the floor with Hezonja, Hood and Exum. Meanwhile everyone has the length to switch all over defensively. It's basically what Golden State is doing right now.
 
I didnt realize he was that type of shooter to be compared Klay Thompson. Is he really that wet from deep? You hear a lot of things leading up to draft time (dante will score at will, wiggins has no killer instinct) that turn out not to be true. I remember hezonja being compared to ginobili not too long ago. Is he dead eye? If so, im on board and believe hes a future all star.
