Following potential 2015 draftees

Johnson slipping to 12 is a real possibility, imo. We just need someone ahead of us to jump on Booker or Kaminsky. Lyles and Payne might also jump in certain scenarios.

David Locke was saying that Kaminsky and Oubre were the two players who stood out in last week's group workout in LA...or maybe it was Santa Barbara.

Locke hates Frank... https://twitter.com/Lockedonsports/status/603274986883784704

Says he's not a ball mover... he led his team in pts, rebs, and assists. I'm sorry he held the ball longer than you'd like.

wow I am souring on Looney. I dont like players with questionable motors.

My latest mock has the Jazz getting Johnson at 12

Minny - Towns - easy pick best fit on their team and the best player
Lakers - Okafor - I have debated russell here but i guess I hope the fakers draft okafor
Philly - Russell - He is a great fit with the team that they are building
NY - Mudiay - Good start to their rebuild
Orlando - Winslow - Defense seems to be king and with the small ball being played he fits with their line up
No sactown - Porzingis - perfect compliment to cousins if they keep him
nugzs - Hezonja - BPA at this point but denver likes to draft foreign players
Pistons - WCS - this was a little of a puzzle but he is bpa and could play well with SVG and drummend
Hornets - Booker - best shooter in the draft and they need that soooooooooooooo bad
Heat - Oubre - He has a higher ceiling and miamis window is closing quickly and they need to plan for the future
Pacers - turner - Fits the comments the pacers have said about running more and stretching the floor
Jazz - Johnson - He falls into our laps

I think Pistons would take Johnson or Frank before WCS... that's be a horrible fit. Maybe they'd take him and trade him.
 
I think the Jazz could make a move for Porzingis if he drifts to 7 or 8 and the teams there aren't sold on him. He might be a polarizing prospect.

Frank would be the perfect third big.

Getting Frank would be great, I think he could come in this year and help immediately help the team as the third big. If we draft him though, I won't expect him to ever be better than a 3rd big, sometimes starter.

That's true. It's definitely not a 'Go Big or Go Home' type pick.
 
Could Frank become best three point shooter in league?
His mechanics and quick enough release look very solid.
Well maybe not the best ( Curry) but in the top five.

Nearly everyone on this board felt nearly the same way. I can only think of about 3 other people besides myself who didn't like it.

I can't tell you exactly why I didn't like him. I'm also not saying that I'm some sort of perfect evaluator of talent either.

What I am saying is that sick feeling I got when the trade was unofficially announced is the same feeling I get when I think about the Jazz drafting Frank at 12. I'd be happy with him much lower (like the early 20's) but there are too many other players I personally would rather see the team gamble on rather than settling for Frank.

Yes, if the Jazz draft Frank at 12 then I believe they are settling, the same way the settled for Trey.

I was one of those three. I thought it was overpaying for Burke, I really started worry when Detroit passed on him. They needed a PG and he was from Michigan yet they passed. The thing that made that bearable was the fact the Jazz got Rudy. I am not a big fan of Frank, quite frankly I haven't seen too much of him but there are other guys I like before him. I wouldn't hate the pick but I would be ok with it.
