Following potential 2015 draftees

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Looney looks under-used to me. A lot of ball hogging by their guards.

Hezonja will be gone before 7.

Yep, under-used and misused. He's clearly the most talented player on that roster and he takes the 4th most shots - Powell, Alford and Parker all get more shots than Looney.

Towns finished with

19 points
10 rebs
2 asts
4 blocks

Near perfect percentages, too.

That why scouts that see him in practice rave about him because he can do so much more.

Looney's 3-pt. percentage has come up to 40% and he's been taking more attempts in recent games.

Did not know this. This was on of my knocks on him to play the 3.

If Porzingis is off the board, who are you guys taking between Looney VS Winslow?


If Winslow can provide 3 and D, I'm leaning towards him.

Between those two, I could see the Jazz going for Looney's size, length and ability to play both forward positions. If other things are nearly equal, Looney might give us something we don't have at the moment, a better version of Marvin Williams.

Winslow, Johnson and Oubre could be very close on a lot of teams' draft boards. They all have strengths, weaknesses and inconsistencies. Oubre is probably the best of the three offensively, and he has the length and quickness to defend.

The question for the Jazz is how much better one of those players would be than Hood and Burks.

I think Myles Turner and Trey Lyles could still be sleepers for the Jazz, and I think Booker is definitely in the picture in the 2nd half of the lottery.

Winslow. Looney is a stiff.

Incidentally, I read somewhere that Myles Turner was a 6'4" guard who grew very abruptly. Apparently, his feet grew like 3 sizes in less than 6 months. So it's like he's running around with flippers, and that's part of the problem with his mobility. His body needs a lot of work.

Edit: Some people are comparing Myles Turner to Andray Blatche, not really a post-up guy, but more of a long, face-up shooter.

Winslow has some star potential. Looney doesn't really.

I still think Looney will end up something like Luol Deng, a decent rotation player.
