Following potential 2015 draftees

I'm officially on the Winslow train. I've always liked him, but the increasing likelihood of Tomic coming over has me convinced it would be our best option to move up and get him.
 
I prefer Winslow over Johnson, no question. I think he's a top 5, maybe top 4 pick (I could see some teams preferring him to Mudiay or Russell). Really don't think I'd like what we'd have to give up to go get him, though.

I like Stanley as a true SF who could play some 4 in a small lineup. I really think he'll be a lock-down defender in the NBA. Otherwise, I like Trey Lyles, Dekker, or Myles Turner (to a much lesser extent) as a stretch big at the 12 spot.

Johnson or Lyles at our spot would be a bigtime score.
 
Winslow goes 5... Book it
 
If you can get Winslow without trading any current players (guaranteed contracts) not named Burke, then do it. Otherwise trade burke and/or 2016 first or OKC pick with a few 2nd rounders to get Johnson/Hezonja as one is likely to be available at 9, probably Johnson.
 
actually if the Jazz target anyone, with in reach, i could see them going after Hezonja. He is the best scoring option in this draft outside russell.

yeah that's definitely not going to do it.
 
It depends what you want from a wing---

knock-down shooting would be Hezonja
on-the-ball defense would Winslow or Oubre
combo-forward potential would be Johnson
slashing would be Winslow
 
I've warmed up to Looney a lot the past week or so. He's got great length (7'3 wingspan), has shown promise as a floor spreader (42% from 3 on 1.5 attempts per game as a freshman) and looks like he'll be able to guard 3s and 4s (once he bulks up, which I don't think he'll have problems doing; he's got a good frame).

I'd be all for trading up to get Hezonja/Winslow/Johnson, but staying at #12 and taking Looney would be just fine by me. I think he'd be a good fit.

Not sure why Johnson isn't mentioned as a on ball defender either... Oubre might have the most potential there and Winslow certainly has some too, but Johnson had the best defensive season of the 3.
