Following potential 2015 draftees

[Coach Ellis]

he looks like he is starting to fill out a bit. Definitely looks less skinny than previous vids.

Considering the value of bigs in the NBA, it wouldn't surprise me at all to have Towns, Okafor and Porzingis go in the top 3 picks.

Schedule for workouts in Las Vegas:

I'd pay to see the third one...

nice 12:25 would be amazing

I agree. It's too far away.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Michael Quals hurt in his Phoenix workout today.

Qualls hurt in Phoenix and Alexander hurt in L.A.

That sucks, because these kinds of things can push a guy out of the draft. Makes me wonder if they do too many team workouts leading up to the draft. Should do it like the NFL and have pro days where all of the teams come to them instead.

did he already work out for Utah?

Porzingis is working out in the US already. Here's some tweets/vids from DX:

Also, another interesting option at C in the second round:

Unfortunately, we don't have shot at him. He has moved ahead of Russell at DX.

That mock draft looks like one that all the lottery teams are really happy with.

Guys we made it! We made it! Two mocks now say we can have Stanley!!!! This one I see on ESPN!!!!!

12Stanley JohnsonUtah JazzCOLLEGE: ArizonaHT: 6-6WT: 242POS: SF
Analysis: The Jazz have Alec Burks, who has played well the past two seasons, but logged just 27 games due to a shoulder injury this past season. Johnson is a power wing who has a chance to be a terrific player in the league. He's big, strong and showed he can make shots, shooting 37 percent from 3 last season at Arizona.

This could really happen. Would be great. We'd have a crap ton of assets and cap space to fill other needs stretch big (Stanley could do it in spots), a backup center, and possible vet pg. Or we can let it marinate... keep Booker and Burke... pray Burke or Exum make a jump. Could go sign an asset type of contract where we overpay a backup center and use as trade bait.

His shoulders actually have some breadth. I think he can fill out a bit.

Cot dayum he'd be great on the Jazz.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

That's a weird one. I guess that would mean Detroit would be more willing to trade down if Porzingis is the one of the top 8 left at #8. Or they can pick him an ease him in slowly and play him as a sub to Ilyasova.

It also makes it less likely that Johnson will slip to 12, because Detroit have a severe need at SF.

Detroit is likely to draft a wing. Not sure who it is though. Winslow could slip there.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Look at those top 6 picks in DX. This is a really nice draft.

If the Jazz really have their choice of Turner, Johnson and Oubre at 12, they can't complain. I'd probably go with Turner.
