Following potential 2015 draftees

Really? I don't. Don't think he's that kind of athlete.
I can see some Jimmy Butler in Winslow.
I can see some Kendall Gill/Robert Horry/Trevor Ariza in Oubre.
I can see some James Johnson and James Young in Stanley Johnson.
I can see some Klay Thompson and even some Andrew Wiggins in Hezonja.
I'm not crazy about Looney. We need someone who can score the ball. I'm not sure Looney has enough offensive potential to invest in him. I think he'll probably be a plus defender though.
Looney looks like he could be Robert Parish's nephew. So there's that.
Good point. But as far as I can see this guy has a Memo-like character and good defense.
He generally plays SF; not sure if he could play guard positions. He is one of those guys who does lots of small things that does not necessarily appear in the statistics. Hard nosed; good attitude, high bball IQ player
On Looney: it will be interesting to see if he gets solely lumped in with the Lyles-Portis-Turner-Kaminsky-Porzingis-Harrell grouping during team workouts or whether he sometimes goes with the Winslow-Johnson-Hezonja-Oubre-Hollis Jefferson grouping during team workouts. Wonder who the Jazz would want to bring in with him to work out? That really seems to be where the scouting division on Looney is: between those convinced he's strictly a 4 (and thus a 12-20 pick) and those who think he can swing between 3 & 4 (and be worth a 7-14 pick).
