Following potential 2015 draftees

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I dunno I just think Winslow/Johnson are safer picks from the physical standpoint, they'll match up well against NBA players at least physically. Defensively they are also more solid.


Those are the questions I would have about Hezonja, but I know that he has a higher upside offensively vs those 2.

I think Winslow is a safe pick. Johnson actually has a few question marks based on how he's going to fit offensively as an SF or PF, though he'll do fine defensively. Hezonja is a prototypical wing. I have no issue with him at all.

The slightly risky guys look to be Mudiay (if he doesn't learn to shoot) or Porzingis (if he can't rebound and compete physically at NBA size and speed).

Hezonja has some Kanter potential... he could be a bit entitled or have a poor attitude. The Euro league environment is different so who knows why he is not playing.

Skill wise I'm in.

I like the DX top ten in this draft... outside those guys I think its pretty meh.

Hezonja seems pretty selfish. I dont know him though so i could be wrong.

Barcelona is a team that invests into prospects at a young age. THey'd prefer to extend his contract through 2019/2020, so they can have him for more productive years instead of only guiding his early development AND score a buyout in 2018 when he's no longer bound to the rookie scale. Hezonja seems to have other plans though. They could try to hurt his draft position to improve their chances to get it their way(Depending on how huge his buyout is and how much he can earn on his rookie contract it can be very problematic to get him over asap)

So for second round picks if they come out does anyone like Sabonis or Karnowski from Gonzaga?
Sabonis looks good. A big man who can get to the basket and a very good passer.
Has to be good if he's Arvydas son.

That seems plausible for sure and alleviates my concern. If have an attitude if someone was pulling that garbage with me as well.

I guess I was a little gun shy with the whole kanter being a douchey bish.

Karnowski is a really good passer too. I thought the best on Gonzaga. Havent seen a lot of their games though.

The Jazz are bound to draft Kaminsky. They're all in on making the playoffs next year which means they're done picking investment/potential guys. DL still yearns for his stretch 4 too. Gonna happen.

Jazz have informed Tomic they are going to try and buy him out. They are going to put a big effort into signing him. Does not mean he will come for sure but I think it is very likely since the Jazz can pay him more than his team can. I see very little chance they draft Kaminsky if Tomic is happening.

Guys! Dray Green is a very unique player/skillset. I think yall are being a bit overboard with how many players you're comparing to him!

What if Tomic says I only come over if you draft my bff Hezonja? Jazz would have to give a significant piece to move up from 12 to 7.

Well look at the team's side: They invest big into promising 16 year olds. They want some return as well. And they find themselves in a situation where these kids are willing to do these contracts, which enable them to have this kind of leverage. NBA teams aren't nicer about these stuff.
