Jazzfanz Mock Draft 2015: Pick #15
- Thread starter Saint Cy of JFC
- Start date
How can you pick Dekker over Portis. Seriously people!
Did you see their wing depth in the PO? They are really lacking, though the more I think about it, I probably should have voted RJ Hunter. If teams like his workouts I could see him jumping this high since Atlanta really needs more playmakers.

But they also had Pero Antic and the corpse of Elton Brand as back up bigs.
I think Portis is a better fit and fills a need.
HOWEVER, I believe that backup bigs, aka bigs with flaws, are easier to find than starting caliber wings. I don't know if Hunter, Dekker, Vaughn or Hollis Jefferson will ever be solid starters. But if ATL thinks that one of them will be, then they should probably take the wing.
It wouldn't surprise me.

Still shocked that Jazz Nation went Frank over Turner.
If Trey Lyles drops this far, I think the Hawks take him. Having a body that is 6'10", 240 and played the SF at Kentucky, he can potentially play all three front-court positions in the NBA and is an insurance policy in case Carroll and Millsap leaves via free agency. I actually wouldn't mind if the Jazz took him at 12.

He can't play SF in the NBA.
He played SF at times at UK because their paint defense was so amazing they could afford to have a slow guy at the 3, and they needed a 3 because they had none.
Maybe, maybe not

Frank's my pick but I'm already calling it when he has nights where his defense is non existent people will be coining him the new nickname, "Frank the Skank".

You're really going out on a limb to predict that posters on this site will be in a race to hate on our players and make up childish nicknames for them, aren't you.
