Following potential 2015 draftees

[stitches]

I think the team that drafts him would have to buy out the final year of his current contract, if I remember correctly.

Stitches or someone would probably know for sure.

His situation is a bit weird and I don't know exactly what the terms of his contract are. He has 7 year contract(4 more years after this summer), but according to different sources he either has a player option on his contract this summer, or not. I don't know which one it is(from what I've read it seems like he does have player option and he will be able to join right away without us paying anything). If he doesn't have the player option, the buy-out clause would be 2M euro(2.3M USD)

Ben McLemore?

What's your point? I said it was rare, not unheard of.

And Mario has much better size and and more of an alpha personality.

It's rare to find an athlete like this that also has a silky smooth shooting stroke.

Mario should be in the conversation for top 5, IMO.

I agree he is a great prospect but who is he going to bump out of the top 5.

okafor - no
mudiay - no
towns - no
Russell - hell no
Johnson - no
porzingis - no size wins

then you have looney, wcs, oubre, Winslow and turner. he fits better in this group because of his question marks.

I'll need to see some stats. The GSW hype is working overtime, after all. That'd be a huge jump from what I saw last year. Not saying it's impossible

Do you watch in other games other then the Jazz? Klay all around game has shoot up bigtime. He went from a good player to one of the top players in the league.

How do you know his personality? You personally know him?

I'd take him over Porz, for sure.

And I'd consider taking him over Johnson (a guy I've pimped a lot). Johnson is a good shooter and athlete, but Mario looks even better in both those categories. He's also been filling out his frame nicely. He's not as big as Johnson, but he's got good size, especially for someone that age. It's close between them, but I think Mario probably has more potential.

There is a Barcelona vs Real Madrid game tomorrow in the Euroleague. Might be interesting one to see...

Porzingis just played a game in the Eurocup. Statline: 9pts(4/8 FG), 5rbs, 1 ast, 2TO in 18 mins...

Yep, he came to a party and we all met him. He said he was glad you weren't there.

This highlight mix gives you a great glimpse at his upside.

Not only are there highlight reel dunks, but also a crazy pass, blocking ability, and crafty finishing ability around the rim.

Then you throw in that he can go off and shoot 8/8 from 3...

OK, but how is he shooting it off the dribble? That's quite important if you're gonna succeed in the NBA.

I'm officially on board with drafting the best wing or PG available.
Our bigs are dominant. All 4 have different skill sets and Quin can mix and match to go big or small as needed. Getting a late first or early 2nd just isn't a good enough return for Enes. I say we match on Kanter (since we have cap space) and improve our glaring weakness in the backcourt.

You're ignoring the time component necessary to develop a drafted wing. In 4 years, Favors and Hayward could be off the team, maxed by a big market. I think it makes sense to go after one in FA, just select the best player available in the draft regardless of position.

My goodness Hezonja has the ****tiest contract I have seen in Europe. 3 + 4 ? Really? Anyway my guess is he will not pick up the 4 year option He'll either come to the NBA or renegotiate a more NBA friendly deal because once he picks up the option he'll pretty much has to stay their for at least 3 years.
