If the Jazz could draft any of these players, which do you prefer (right now) ??

Make a case bruh

Poythress is going to measure close to favors at SF, i presume.

He clearly has Lockdown-Defender Potential, unlike most players in this draft. Foot-speed, lateral quickness, explosiveness, length. There will ALWAYS be a premium on these type players, especially when they appear strong as an ox...

Shooting 57% and 42% from three... i cover this more in-depth, on the current page of the draft thread.

id also like to add in to the Shabazz commentary. crafty lefty, like harden.

Funny. This post reminds me of:

Marvin has the size, length, versatility, athleticism and especially the upside that teams love. These traits give him the ability to play both forward positions. He has a strong upper body and even more impressive is his lower body strength with a very stable, explosive trunk. He can absorb contact and still get shots off. It looks like he could still develop a little more physically. He has room to grow and definitely will continue to mature into his body, which will provide him with even greater control of his athleticism. He is quick in the open floor, explosive and has a good first step. Marvin shows great hops and is a pretty quick leaper, especially going for rebounds. His second and third bounce to get off the floor is almost as good his first. He definitely takes advantage of his athleticism offensively.

The most developed part of Marvin’s offensive game right now is his almost flawless jumpshot. It’s a very natural shot and he shows great form for his size. His shot looks almost effortless and each shot is nearly identical with his elbow tucked in, arms straight, good follow-through and height. His form looks the same whether it’s a mid-range jumper or a 3 pointer, and he releases it fairly quick. His great leg strength really helps him because he less likely to shoot tired jumpers. Marvin has shown he is a great FT shooter (nearly 85% on almost 5 attempts per game). He is calm and poised at the line and is always confident in the shot.

The few times that Marvin put the ball on the floor toward the basket he showed he has very good handles for a player his size. He displays a low, fast, under control dribble and rarely forces the issue. He provided solid help bringing the ball up the court against full court pressure. Unfortunately for us, Marvin did such a good job playing within the team at Carolina that he didn’t display his ball handling skills often. Marvin does not over dribble and does a good job at keeping the ball moving. He is a very unselfish player and shows great floor instincts in his passing. He was not double-teamed often but he did a pretty good job of passing out of it when help defense arrived. After rebounds he was usually quick in finding Raymond Felton with his outlet passes, helping ignite a tremendous fast break offense.

Marvin Williams at 2 was one of the dumbest picks ive seen. do you compare marvin and poythress' athletecism?

i think its vastly in the favor of Poy, Marvin always struck me as skinny, Poythress looks like a NBA ready body at 19.

hes gonna fill out to a more explosive Ron Artest.

^ Classic hindsight 20/20 action. Porythress would be an asinine top 3 pick.

Bring on my main man BJB.

i never said poythress top 3???

if we go top 3 i prefer Shabazz and Austin.

maybe 6-10ish for poy.


classic 20/20 hindsight? CP3 is my favorite player in the L, an all time great. taking marvin infront of him will always be considered the biggest failure of the hawks in the 2000's

At the time of that draft i thought taking bogut, marvin, and d will were all stupid decisions.

I had cp3 number 1 on my big board and could not believe the jazz passed him up.
