Why so down on Turner?

 

[Dr. Jones]

Why so down on Turner?

Because Turner's a clod.

 

[fishonjazz]

Don't think I could take Oubre with WCS still on the board.

Ya, at that point if wcs is available you take him probably, I was simply saying that I would be happy if the jazz end up with oubre.
And if the jazz took oubre with wcs still available then I would trust that they had researched enough and determined that oubre is their guy

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Lol at hoopshypes's mock. They compare Towns to Bogut. Good lord that's bad.

 

[Maneesh]

Lol at hoops hype. Basically say Jazz must only go for the white ones??? WAT?

Why so down on Turner?

I was never crazy about Turner when he shot up the HS rankings, mainly because of the way he moves. Some had him rated top-2 or 3 and were saying possibly #1, while Towns 7th or 8th.

I think he turns out solid but not great. The vid released on DX about his running alleviated concerns slightly. At this point I think he's too soft and more of a project than a contributor. Personality wise he reminds me of Channing Frye, obviously Turner has more length, better instincts defensively and is much younger.

He would've been projected higher if not for games like vs West Virginia where he grabbed 1 rebound vs a team of 6'9" and below players, and that abomination of an offensive performance in the tournament vs Butler where he messed up just about every time he touched the ball.



off-topic - Sounds like the Knicks are looking to move up for a late 1st or early 2nd for Mam Jaiteh.

What does towns compare to? Is he a more athletic/physical bosh, aldridge archetype?

 

[Game6Conley]

Towns is like somewhere between David Robinson and LaMarcus Aldridge, probably.

How do you feel about Frank Kaminsky?

 

[Game6Conley]

How do you feel about Frank Kaminsky?

Right now the 3 players i have the most difficulty pegging are Trey Lyles, Frank Kaminsky and Kevon Looney.

So I'd probably give ya a non-committal answer that applies to all 3 of them. I kinda hope Kaminsky goes 10-12 so the Jazz have more to choose from.

Well Damn..

@PompeyOnSixers
D'Angelo Russell canceled this weekend's visit and workout for the #Sixers, according to multiple sources.

 

[mellow]

"Nedim Buza is currently in the States, working out for NBA teams before the draft, but at it was expected Telenet Oostende announced today his signing with a three years deal which has an option for a fourth.

The 20 years old Bosnian forward is leaving Spars Serajevo for the Belgium’s champions and his contract is expected to have an NBA buy out option, even if there’s no mention to it in the official press release of the transfer. It remains to be seen if and where he will be drafted, however staying in Europe for the near future is more than possible in any case." https://www.eurohoops.net/2015/06/nba-news/102224

Nedim Buza shoots over 40% on his threes. The jazz had him in for a workout on June 1st, afterwards he strangely announced in teh media interviews he wanted to play in Europe for a season or two more.

My guess is the jazz knew about his desire to stay over there and it fits with their plan for the 54th pick. If he is still available I expect the Jazz to call his name at #54.
