What's new

Following potential 2015 draftees

Favors is a good player, no doubt.

From my perspective, a team with Exum / Hayward / Leonard / Kanter / Gobert would be a better, more versatile team with better distribution of talent than a team with Favors, Kanter and Gobert. Right now, Favors is mostly a pick-and-roll player, though he has a few iso-post moves. The thinking is also that in a year, Gobert should be able to replace much of Favors' production at center. Gobert's PER is only a few points behind Favors'.

I can understand if it's just too soon to make a move with Favors, in part because there are a number of other young players, including Hood, that need to develop and be evaluated.

Favors isn't untradeable. The question is what would be worth trading him for. Of all the Jazz players, Favors could likely net the most in a trade.


I'd like to take this back. Kanter's defense last night was Boozer-bad.

Winslow's shot actually looks pretty dang good. Nice form from the little I've seen. Pretty good at driving into the lane and finishing. Good enough handles for the fastbreak, but not great. Reminds me of Iggy in some ways.

It's early, but he's my favorite wing player so far. No homer.
@DraftExpress: Good first half at the Barclays. Duke up 36-26. Justise Winslow continues to be Duke's most important player on both ends of the floor.

@DraftExpress: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist made 13 3s as a freshman at Kentucky. Andre Iguodala made 9 at Arizona. Justise Winslow has 7 in five games so far.

@DraftExpress: Those are the comparisons you hear often for Winslow, and they aren't bad. But Winslow might have better potential as a shooter than them.

@NateDuncanNBA: LRT from @DraftExpress, I see Winslow as much more MKG (w/ better J) than Iguodala. Not as explosive or as much feel as Andre.

Food for thought.
