Following potential 2015 draftees
- Thread starter Dr. Jones
- Start date
Right now I'm thinking around #8. +/-1
I agree, we need to add another cheap big with great upside. Fwiw, there are a ton of talented bigs entering the draft over the next few years.

Punch Bowl Re-Filler
Going by last season's records, the #8 and #9 teams (prior to the lottery) finished with 29 and 33 wins. The #12 team had #37 wins. The year before, 34 wins resulted in only the 12th-worst record. I HOPE the JAzz don't get a top-10 pick. If they do, it means there are more holes than we thought.
This isn't our year.. '17/'18 is the season we're building towards.
The Cavs beg to differ.
I think Towns is a real special talent. Going by Centers only(i.e. excluding Davis) I think Towns is the most skilled Center prospect at his age since Greg Oden. I'm just going by his wide array of skills, considering the stage of his development of them and how each of them might translate.
Yes.. his skills are incredible. He needs to hit the weights hard and get in top shape. I mean for the NBA..
His slight lack of conditioning can be hidden this year at UK because I doubt anyone gets more than 20min/ at the 4/5 spots.
He's not lazy, though.. he's just been working more with skill coaches than working on his endurance. Rock will change that. (Rock Oliver is UK's S&C coach)

I'm thinking the Jazz end up in the late lottery somewhere in the teens, I'd sign up for most of the top 10 players right now.

It's probably a ****ty answer but I like our players. /shrug
Steve Novak is actually one of my favorite college players ever, its hilarious to me that hes landed on the Jazz. If there was footage of him TORCHING Rudy Gay's #2 UConn team for 41 and 16 rebounds i'd have posted it about 10x by now, he was pulling up for like 38 footers It was ridiculous.
Trevor Booker is $$
The depth of the roster seems greatly improved, I have $ on Exum winning ROY, Hood was a gift, Lucas = Addition by subtraction.
Contract year bump for Burks and Enes? Its possible
If Burke and Hayward improve their shooting %'s that would have a big impact.
The Jazz have a ton of moving parts, hopefully they can win like 7 out of their first 10 home games and establish a comfort level early, This roster seems built to withstand injuries much more than last year.
Im pretty familiar with these projected top 10 players next year, for some reason i have a gut feeling that its not wise to expect one, feels like a pipedream, especially the top 7 players on Dx's mock.
Rudy Gobert and Kristaps Porzingis in the same front-court would be crazy though...

Wait, are you claiming the Jazz now? What happened to not being a Jazz fan?

Do you have issues with reading comprehension? Or just a selective memory?
Its funny. Your pathetic trolling has been relegated to making up your own details, and portraying them as truth. I take that as a compliment, you are obviously beaten if you've reduced yourself to those tactics.
