It's hard to take Dakari seriously when on one of his most important "job interviews"(the combine) he came totally out of shape with record high body fat%, and it all seemed to reflect on his athleticism testing results - combine worst in the history max vertical(after actually recording pretty nice vert at the UK pro day in the fall), 2nd worst in history no-step vert, botton 5 in history sprint time, etc... I have no idea what the reason is... but this doesn't strike me as someone really striving to succeed...

(unless he's been hurt or something in the meantime and hasn't been able to work at all, but I haven't heard anything of that sort)...

Crazy some of these guys can't at the very least, keep in shape at least long enough to get a contract, then pull a Shawn Kemp.
 
BTW it's interesting that Turner's agent has arranged workouts for him with all teams in the 7-12 range and the Jazz are the last one. I haven't heard anything about him working out for other teams. According to reports journalists are impressed by Turner and how well prepared he was. This is not surprising to me, Turner is very bright kid and all-around great person. He was able to answer questions with details about Jazz' roster and how exactly he'd fit in. Seems like 1. he's well prepared, 2. seemed to have cared a lot and wanted to impress here.

Here's his interview:

Walt Perrin seems to think he can guard some 4s but not all. I'd still love if we managed to land him...

I was looking for that video, he seems like a very mature and real top-notch human being and that's in his teens:

He seems like a phenomenal kid. Physically gifted and a hard worker. I like him... I don't see him playing much four though. I think the only guys I don't like for us in our are Payne and Grant. Think I can talk myself into just about anyone in the top 15.

I want turner more and more
 
I'd be very happy with Turner. Would honestly be happy with more than a dozen prospects at 12. Glad the Jazz have a solid front office and do an excellent job scouting players. Can't wait to add a few new prospects to this team. Draft can't get here soon enough.

Added another video in that post that will totally sell you on him(at least off-court)...
