What's new

Following potential 2017 draftees...

I like your picks and agree with many of them. You're just missing Kurucs. :cool: With Boden, I suppose he could play at the 3 a bit, but why? The Jazz have Hayward, Hood and maybe Ingles to do that. Bolden is an athletic PF with stretch range.
I honestly feel kurucs is not going to be around when the jazz draft. I am a big kurucs fan just not an option.

I am just saying if bolden could play the 3 then he is a first round lock. I like him though

I disagree on two counts. One, we've seen a zillion bigs who just can't put on weight. Secondly, we're too close to serious, deep playoff runs to take a project at 24. I'm not saying take a low ceiling guy at 24 but it should be someone who can hopefully seriously contribute this season. Semi, someone like that as an example. Jeanne could then be taken at 30.

I disagree about us being too close to deep playoff runs to take a project. I think we need to swing for the fences because we're so close. Sure, some of the guys we swing for the fences on won't work. But if we hit a homerun with just one of the guys we pick it could win us championships. I think we're one star piece away from winning championships. Our options to sign a big name in free agency are limited. So trades and the draft are we're going to need to rely on to find that guy. DL has put us in a position where we have multiple picks the next few years. I say swing away.
 
Lottery time tonight. Things I'm looking for:

1. Lakers get passed and dropped out of the top three and lose their pick to Philly. Bonus: they also lose their 2019 first round pick to Magic if this happens.
2. Lonzo Ball goes ballistic that LAL is out of the running and owns the newscycle with some more dumbass quotes.

I feel bad for whatever poor franchise that ends up with Ball. Its not like the fans can celebrate. They get to look forward to him flopping or showing promise and then forcing his way to the Lakers. The NBA is not very good to it's fans.
 
Lottery at 6:30, right in my drive home. I remember where I was on the highway and how angry I was when the Jazz fell the #5 in the Exum draft. Funny, I can't remember who went 1-4 ahead of him without thinking about it.

Ball has not said anything about forcing his way to LA. Lavar said he would like his son to play there, but I dont get the sense they care that much. They are going to get publicity wherever they go.

2. LA - Ball
3. Philly - Jackson

Quick mock draft w/ little thought, so dont cry to me.

One major thought: There are so many ****ing bigs in the middle to late portions of the first round and a ton of teams who dont really need a big man. Will be interesting. I think a lot of names will get picked in the first round that people dont expect over seemingly better bigs because there are too many damn bigs.
