Following potential 2015 draftees

I need someone to help talk me out of both because I'm pretty sure both will still be available at the Jazz pick. And when the Jazz pass on both Dekker and Hunter, it's going to kill me knowing they were there and Utah passes on not one but both of them

Go read up on Scott Padgett. That should help a bit. . .
 
I don't like Dekker. He's not a great shooter or passer. He doesn't have the best handle and I'm not sure on the defense.
 
He's nowhere in Dekker's realm

You mean an all-NCAA type upperclassman with final 4 heroics and a reputation for being a shooter far greater than what is reality? Dekker got a couple more points per game, Padgett was far better from 3 point land and they both averaged 5 rbs a game. Both played on teams with really good players to take the pressure off. They both play a bit soft at 6'9". Padgett barely made it into the first round. What exactly separates Dekker on a whole 'nother level above Padgett? Also, Padgett had a 7 year career, so he wasn't exactly a bust, especially considering where he was drafted.
 
Vezenkov just had another great game in Greek league playoffs(games for 3d place) - 23pts(7/13 FG, 2/4 3pFG, 7/8 FT), 9rbs in 32 mins of play. His team is tied 1:1 in the battle for 3d place. Memphis VP of Basketball Operations John Hollinger was there to watch him for third time according to reports. I wonder if they are considering drafting him at 25... They sure can use some shooting and playmaking off the bench. I still hope he drops to the second round and we can draft and stash him.

so do i he reminds me a lot of Kyle Korver.
 
You've got that backwards. Hunter is a good shooter but he's not elite and he doesn't bring that much else. Not a comp but he is closer to Stauskas than he is to Curry. I think he struggles as a backup SG and ultimately won't play very many minutes.

Wright will be a solid backup PG in his rookie season. He is better than Burke and although his ceiling is lower he is better than Exum is right now.

He is a pretty good passer.
