Thanks Melo

Some under the radar guys. Interesting that there is a camp for Euro teams in Vegas in the middle of July.

Bobby "Simply Because" Portis

I listened to all three Locke pod casts. I don't know if it is the individuals or the extra 2 years of school but RJ Hunter was a much better interview.

Portis seems simple, but it might be my impression of him saying cliches in a Karl Malone accent. I like his can do attitude.

After that interview I think Looney is going on the official "do not want" list.

Try these:

Locke interviews RJ Hunter: https://weareutahjazz.com/lockedonjazz/2015/06/03/podcast-locke-talks-with-rj-hunter/

Where Locke says to RJ 'bad news for Jazz fans is that you shoot it just like Ian Clark, who couldn't make it.'

Locke and Bobby Portis. https://weareutahjazz.com/lockedonjazz/2015/06/04/podcast-locke-talks-with-bobby-portis/

Locke and Looney: https://weareutahjazz.com/lockedonjazz/2015/06/04/podcast-locke-talks-with-kevon-looney/

RJ's shot is nothing like Clarks, RJ's release is a bit low but is very very quick. I wouldn't worry about it to be fair. His defense is much more serious concern than his shot. Stanley Johnson's shot is much worse and worrisome for example.

Because of the asthma issue?

Because of the asthma issue?

This is the first time I heard of his asthma issue and I honestly think it'll make him fall in the 20's area in the draft. Just like how Rodney fell in the draft last year.

They need to get his medicals and talk to his doctors. It's not as simple as that. It might be easily fixable condition or one that can improve. If it's not... it sucks big time. Hibbert has been limited to playing 20-25 minutes a night because of that issues throughout his career and I am not sure we can afford to take a player like that this high even if we don't plan on playing him more than 25 minutes a night for several years. It also looks like it doesn't affect him all the time. For example, Perrin said today that Looney did great and didn't have any fatigue issues during the practice.

Nice interviews from Connaughton and Hunter. I also like Turner's interview on DX. It won me over a little bit. It's hard to look at these guys the same way after listening to them talk.

Yeah but he fibbed his standing reach somehow at the combine (no way it's that small) so he had an exaggerated vertical number.

That wouldn't surprise me, but it would surprise me if he was able to fib it by more than 2 inches... which would still put him at a 42" verticle (which would still list it as an elite skill in my book).

Is it the bad motor, asthma, thinks he can be more aggressive in the nba after being passive in college or something else?
