Following potential 2015 draftees

Why all this arguing about Frank? Let's just move up and get someone else. We have the assets to do it. Winslow and Mario are in reach. Either one would be an exciting and promising addition to the team. 12th pick plus the GS and OKC pick, plus some second rounders. That might do it.

I'm okay with drafting Devin Booker. At least you know he can shoot. He's also young enough he could grow another inch or two and get quite a bit stronger. He's got okay size as is.

I'm still having a hard time getting psyched about Looney. I like what I've seen of RHJ more, tbh.

I'm keeping an open mind on looney because spycam seems to like him, and I trust his opinion, otherwise I think Looney would be on my do not want list. Spy and I are flip-flopped on Looney/Kaminsky.
 
I think Turner has pretty big bust potential. Slow AND weak AND doesn't really have an offensive game? Yeah, IDK.

I'm not necessarily a Looney homer or Frank hater. Just trying to eliminate all paradigms from the discussion.

There's a solid crop of prospects at #12 and it's difficult to judge, in a comprehensive manner, who is the best.

I have a good deal of trust in the Jazz FO (couldn't always say that) and think they'll make a good pick.

He's elite RIGHT NOW at college level at some of the things that translate best in the NBA - rebounding and defending the rim. Even though he's not exceptionally explosive his timing at the defensive end is on a very high level. All this would most probably translate from day 1. Also, he's not the quickest player, but his instincts and length allow him to recover very well in defense. He needs to add strength but that's one of the easiest things to add with pro-training... He also needs work on his high PNR defense. His low post game is very limited, but he's really good with turn around jumpers and high post jumpers. He can also stretch the floor up to the 3p line. I think that's very far from him not having an offensive game. I'd say his offensive game is one-dimensional right now and that is something he will have to work on, but I like his prospects for 3-4 years down the road much better than Kaminsky's...

He is still way ahead of Kaminksy when he was the same age. Who knows how good he could be in 3 years.

Turner was the #2 prospect coming out of hs behind Okafor, fwiw. He was supposed to contend for the #1 spot.

Similar situations have happened like that, Shabazz was #1 coming out, Barnes was #1 coming out. One fell to #14, the other to #7, they are becoming solid players too.

I didn't know Johnson's release was so weirdly low(mainly on 3s). It looks like he's shooting them from chest level on some of those...
