Following potential 2015 draftees

I haven't kept up on college this year.



Everyone give me your top ten NOW!


Tell me who you think is the best player and why.
Here's mine from about a 2-3weeks ago:

It's this time of year, I decided to do my big board, too. I think it'd be interesting to see what people think mid-December vs sometime closer to the draft and how our perception of the guys in the draft will change. So for the people who've been following some of the prospects I challenge you to post your own big 10 boards specifically in mind with the needs and system of the Jazz and what we want to achieve. Here's mine:

1. Towns
2. Okafor
3. Mudiay
---> those 3, I think, are the players we should draft without consideration for our needs simply on the "best player available" basis(I'm putting Towns first on basis of potential and needs). I think those are players we cannot afford to miss on even if we already have good players or projects at those positions.
4. Porzingis --> need for stretch 4 and potential
5. Stanley Johnson -> need for perimeter defender
6. Justise Winslow -> need for perimeter defender
---> I was higher on Stanley Johnson before I got to watch him in games in which he was consistently getting beat off the dribble. Winslow is getting much closer to him on my list than previously...
7. Mario Hezonja
8. Chris McCoulough
9. D'Angello Russell
10. Kevon Looney
In the last 2-3 weeks I got to watch more of Hezonja and I'd probably move Hezonja in front of both Johnson and Winslow. I would also probably move Winslow in front of Johnson. I'd move Russell in front of McCoulough...
 
Okafor is really good. REALLY good. I am concerned how much his offense will be thwarted by NBA defense. He, on the other hand, will have Enes-style defense.
 
true... too bad they don't really have many match ups in their schedule where you can see him against NBA-level talent at C. He did relatively good against Brimah and got him in foul trouble early.

Yah, his defense is... underwhelming. What I've been impressed and surprised with is his passing out of the post.
 
How much film have you watched? I'm asking to be serious not to be a jackass.

I disagree on the numbers stuff though... If he was coming from some obscure college playing in the Big Sky or something than numbers wouldn't mean much... I'd say if anything guys who go off of film solely and ignore numbers will be wrong more often than the numbers guys who never watched film. Don't ignore the results of him being on the floor... he scores efficiently, rebounds, and blocks shots.

Haven't watched one minute.
