Following potential 2015 draftees

Pretty sure every team does some sort of psychological test. Isn't that the thing Exum scored off the charts in?

That's the first I've heard of it... anyway this interview this Celtics guy did was supposed to be this new thang that nobody had done before. It involved a series of psychological questions, etc, using some weird matrix that this guy had devised.

Yep.

Hezonja is a big-time talent. He's more physically talented than Hayward. Hayward has high IQ though.

I'll get back to this later....

This Hezonja VS Winslow/Johnson debate - I wonder if it'll turn out similar to the Hayward/George debate????


George was an athletic defensive wing who turned out to be a great offensive player once he's in the league.

I would take Winslow or Johnson over hezonja.

I believe Cy/Catchall would take Hezonja over both of those guys if I'm not mistaken? Have I left out anyone?

 

[Park Bites]

I don't recall either of them saying that?

Re-read my big board brah, have Johnson over Hezonja and Hezonja over Winslow.

True dat... mis-read it. That's probably how I'd have it as well. Interestingly DX has it the other way in this order:

Winslow
Hezonja
Johnson

I might take Hezonja over Johnson if it came down to it. I'm not quite sold on Johnson as a shut-down defensive player just yet, and I'm not sure his offense or athleticism are that stand-out either. Am I 100% sure Johnson is going to be better than Hood? I need to see more. I'm confident that Hezonja is going to be a mismatch at the SG spot. He's a big-time talent.

I need to see more of Winslow. Winslow seems to have a bit more upside than Johnson, but I haven't seen that much of either player.

Truthfully, I would draft an athletic big with some offensive polish. I like the potential of Chris McCullough for the Jazz if we can't get Towns or Mudiay. The Jazz need a big who can put the ball on the floor, create and score both inside and outside. Kanter kinda does those things, but he's not quick enough to be a real go-to player. Favors needs to be set up.

Meanwhile we have Hayward and Hood at the SF, and we can pick up a defensive specialist if we need.

the reasons I would put hezonja down on my draft board are 2 things 1- defense 2- ego. if I feel he could come over and be teachable and learn I might consider him. the more I read about him and how he is being handled the less I want with him.
