Following potential 2015 draftees

Kaminsky's more skilled offensively than those 2, he can handle the ball, can drive it. He can also shoot the 3 which those 2 can't. He's also younger. Just a much better potential overall in the long term.

I wouldn't underestimate the difference in the level of competition these are facing. Of course he can shoot, but for me I'm like: So can Porzingis.
That doesn't mean I dislike Kaminsky. He's good. But I think to become a championship caliber team that wing defender is missing. Even though maybe you can solve the wing situation with someone like RHJ in the late 20s, who is only on the floor together with a stretching big and does part time coverage on the best wing attackers in the league, where you try to disrupt them with changing coverages, changing covers and constant energy. So it's not like I'd solely prefer a 3+D or best case a 2 way wing. I just think it would give the Jazz more options. And more options usually lead to better solutions.
 
I still love Justin Anderson.

I still love the idea of trading out for Harrison Barnes.

right now my draft would be draft Kelly oubre and trade him for Harrison Barnes.
draft Andrew Harrison in the second and vezenkov.

exum, Burke, Harrison
Hayward, burks, millsap
Barnes, hood, ingles
favors, booker
Gobert, tomic, pleiss
 
I think Andrew Harrison endorses Kaminsky in the draft.

But it's amazing how people drink the Kool-Aid when a player has a good NCAA run. Example: the Trey Burke hype was pretty mediocre until the tournament began and as it progressed a lot of us became obsessed with drafting Burke.

Yet, oddly enough, Hayward didn't garnish a lot of support pre-draft after the tournament. I know some forum posters wanted him but not a lot of people had him as their first choice.

Though I will add slaying the Kentucky dragon is very impressive.

Burke's stock was probably highest going into the tournament, but didn't really rise once in it. He had two awful games in the tournament.
Dekkar, on the other hand, has went full beast mode in every tournament game.

I still remember the shot against Kansas (down by three) to force overtime and the eventual Sweet 16 win - Burke fever was definitely at its highest during the tournament.

sometimes, I swear, you get this itch in your brain and completely disregard facts in your pursuit of you opinion. tomic is one of the most gifted offensive centers in the world, and he has done it on the hardest stage out side of the nba.

I agree with this. Although I think frank is a better fit long term than tomic and would be cheaper. Tomic would likely have a bigger impact next year and is very polished offensively. Just not sure if what he does will work well with our other bigs.
