Following potential 2015 draftees

[Handlogten's Heros]

See, I'm starting to get psyched about Gobert / Turner, but I admit we may have to move up to get Turner.

I'm not sure Turner is compatible with Gobert. He isn't the knock down shooter that Frank is... Yet. He is slower than frank... Maybe he's better now that he's been working on his body and gait... But I think he'd be limited to non-Gobert floor time.

Since when is 21-22 too old to improve? ****, Rudy played professional ball for a number of years and he's still developing at age 22. Obviously his physical stature gives him more room to grow, but why can't Kaminsky be like Ryan Anderson?

This age **** is so played out. Players can still improve. Feels like some people only wanna draft players 20 and under.

I still haven't been able to think of a guy his size with his shooting and passing ability that wasn't successful... Fish said bargnani but I think he'd be successful if he had franks drive or basketball IQ.

At the same time. He wasn't a scrub. He was expected to be a star so he's thought of as a scrub. He's not. Her have been a great 6 th man who can come in hit 3 's and be a scorer off the bench. That's what he should've been drafted as

The only way Frank isn't successful is if he's a complete disaster defensively. There really shouldn't be any questions about his ability on the offensive end.

Okay, here's a new take on how the draft shakes out:

T'wolves take Towns to pair with Wiggins.

Lakers take Mudiay to be their PGOTF. They could also go Okafor here.

Sixers take Russell to be their PGOTF.

Knicks take Okafor to be their post scorer. They could also trade the pick.

Magic take Hezonja to be their lead shooter/scorer. They could also go Turner or Porzingis.

Kings take Turner to replace Jason Thompson. Porzingis is too risky for this franchise.

Nuggets take Cauley-Stein as BPA. They could also go with Winslow or Porzingis.

Pistons take Porzingis as BPA. They could also go with Winslow, Oubre or Johnson.

Hornets take Winslow They could also go with Oubre, Johnson or Booker.

Heat take Oubre. They could also go with Johnson.

Pacers take Johnson as BPA. They could also go with Booker.


So the Jazz in this scenario look at Looney, Lyles, Kaminsky and Booker. My guess is that's why Locke is trying to sell us a bit on Looney or Lyles.

Damn. Charlotte gets a steal

I want the jazz to take Frank I this situation.

There's certainly questions about his post up game translating.

I thought he was better on the perimeter spotting up and shooting or pump faking and driving.

I actually think Turner is a very intriguing prospect. I don't see him as Jermaine O'Neal. I see him as Channing Frye with some post up potential.

I think he could legitimately compete for the #12 spot for me against Frank. If the Jazz find themselves lucky enough to be in that situation, I would be very tempted to take Turner and his potential over Frank.

Seriously though, why won't Frank be Money Memo? Or Ryan Anderson? If we had that 07-10 Memo coming off our bench we'd be a top 5 team in the league even without a starting NBA PG. give us a starting PG like Patty Mills and it's between us and GS for the west.

That was kind of what I said. If bargnani was drafted 12 I don't think he's a bust at all. He is not a competitor... Frank absolutely is. I liked the comp because they have similar size and will have the same struggles on defense... I just think frank will try much harder.

 

[BENTLEY]

yeah I like Turner and Frank. Either one I'm happy. Which of the two? Not sure. Based on the little info I have I'd gamble on Turner I think.

Who projected in the lottery have we had in for workouts?
