Following potential 2017 draftees...

Hart is widely considered a second-rounder, no?

If first-round talent like Ojeleye, Adebayo, Wilson or Diallo are available at 30, you have to grab one of those.

Yeah. Josh Hart is a player I'm pretty sure the front office is gonna like. His best asset might be his indomitable will. He's just fearless.

Ojeleye's spot in the first is far from secure, he's definitely somewhere on the fringe. He's pretty much a year older than Trey Lyles.

His measurements are really going to matter--e.g., length and standing reach. Teams are going to want to play him at the 4, which he played mostly at SMU. If teams think he's a tweener who's too small to consistently guard 4s, it could easily push him to the 2nd round.

Draymond, Kawhi, even Carmelo, have plus length.

If the Jazz stayed put at #14 in that draft, they might have felt obligated to take a flier on Giannis.

If they did, I wonder how we Jazz fans would've reacted? Maybe just like the Knick fans did on draft night with KP. lol Man, if we traded Favors and the 12th pick for the 4th pick before the draft and selected KP.

I don't think his measurements are that important. He has measurements from 5 years ago, they aren't great. I think having the prototypical 7' wingspan at the 4 is less important. Its not like he is going to be a starting 4.

I disagree and I watched SMU a bunch this year and sounded the alarm on him here before DX had him in the mock... If he can carve out a niche as a SF who can flex to PF thats definitely whats best for his earning power.

How about Alec Peters?? He's gonna crush all interveiws. Great kid/teammate, and he's got a very interesting skillset, sharp offensive player.

Alec Peters kinda reminds me of Chandler Parson. I like him, with a good combine and interviews he'll definitely sneak in the 1st rd.

Parsons fits the mold of an NBA starter more. Peters probably more of a flamethrower off the bench. Peters is also a pure PF.

There are similarities for sure tho.

NBA Combine is this week. Projected draft positions are sure to shift once the measurements and interviews happen.

The offseason sure moves fast when the Jazz are in the playoffs.

Should I feel glad it was a sweep so Dennis O'Lindsey can focus on the draft?

No but I'm certainly not saying things like "CAN'T" either.. You're trying to pigeonhole this conversation.

Not at all. You are. You knew I was saying he can't rebound or defend WELL. You bringing up one block, and saying he can?

Never said he cant block anyone ever. THAT is "trying to pigeonhole" the conversation. Memo was a bad defender but blocked shots from time to time.

Come on PG_AB get real. I don't care if your opinion is different than mine. Do you think he is a good defender and rebounder?
That's all im asking.

I like the DJ Wilson suggestion. I watched a lot of Michigan tourney games because of the German on the team...Whenever I watched them Wilson played big and smart.

Semi Ojeleye needs to be a jazz man. High work ethic athletic freak. I see this guy making an impact on the floor right away.

I'll scream it until draft day. We need someone who plays with an edge, and give this team some juice. We are way too vanilla sometimes.

Wouldn't you love to see Ojeleye on the floor with Gobert?
