Following potential 2015 draftees

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Who will they go after then?

Al Faroq Aminu, don't you know his shtick?

Or maybe Alex Len.

Umm, how can you not like this interview?

Draymondesque intensity. Eminem eyes. Karl Malone like accent. Hes kind of personable too. I like it.

 

[Carbon13]

I like portis. Real fluid athlete. Not a lot of lift on his shot but he gets it off quick. His game seems compact. Quick passes, goes up with little wasted motion in the post, quick shot.

Lol I kind of see the Eminem eyes. Also refers to himself in 3rd person at the end. Very Malone.

Lots of overrating Bobby Portis goin on round here, thats a future bench player...were yall this hyped for Markieff Morris too?

The Jazz will go after a player they hope can start in a few years.. not Kaminsky or Portis..

That vertical jump is a legitimate concern it puts him squarely in Andrew Nicholson territory.

the speed of the game, and size of the competition is going to affect his timing in the paint

dont yall see him barely lifting off the ground and think 'that'd be an easy block for rudy?'

with Rudy and favors locking down the start all the jazz would need would be a 3rd big. to be one of the first people off the bench. I like the motor. Markief Morris has an awful motor.

I've had this strong impression lately that Kevon Looney would be the right pick for us.

Is Chad Ford giving you that impression?

Luwawu was flat out unstoppable today, took the game over, blowout status whenever he was in. By far his best showing this year. He looked like a triple threat version of Sefolosha, his stock will certainly get a bump from this..

He might be a top-20 prospect honestly.. he's not far off thats for sure... I was high on Damien Inglis last year, thought similarly of Luwawu when he hit the radar, different skillsets/positions obviously. I'm now convinced Luwawu has more upside(than Inglis) and is within striking distance of RHJ...

Built to play ultra fast, glides on defense, thats his 'transferable skill'. He's not just fast for some wing in the french pro b league, he will play very fast for a wing in the NBA.

Offensively he's more undercontrol and made better reads than you might expect, made a handful of nice post entry feeds, drew fouls with ease and showed plenty of nice finishes around the rim, most importantly he shot well from 3.

I think it was givony on DX who almost a month before the draft combine said that Luwawu would be top 20. He wasn't even on any draft boards at that point.

I didn't think he would make it that high because of his shooting, if you say it looked good look out for a meteoric rise.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Who are you a fan of?

Frank

 

[Elizah Huge]

Is Chad Ford giving you that impression?

No, haven't read anything from Ford in awhile. Spy has been doing a good job though.

Karl Malone doesn't do that

Lots of potential backup bigs for the Jazz to choose from at #12 this year:

- Kaminsky

- Turner

- Lyles

- Portis

- Looney


Interesting to note that they can all shoot the 3pt shot. They can all shoot the mid-range pretty consistently. They're all long and can play multiple positions.


But just going off of effort and motor which is what the Jazz seems to like when they picked up Gobert, then I think Bobby Portis with his work rate & effort at both ends of the floor could be a dark horse.
