Locke's Draft Scouting Videos

Locke is a complete idiot. I thought when he came back into the market that he was someone who did their homework. But, what he does is he tries to spin whatever move he thinks the Jazz are going to make or not make he slants his story to support it. He was so wishy washy with Boozer depending on what he believed the Jazz were going to do he would change his story. I bet he is going to put out a video comparing Knight to Dwill and have rave reviews for him because it is the pick the Jazz are most likely going to make.

Yes.
 
Locke's alright. I don't think he'd ever say his analysis should be anything more than his opinion and to take it for what it's worth. I guess you guys would rather have nothing.
 
I like that the dude puts forth effort and sticks his neck out. I crave Jazz info, and the guy supplies it. I have a built-in BS alarm and Locke doesn't set it off as much as the rest of the local radio personalities do.
 
He just posted Bismack Biyombo's and was down on him. I've never had a more ringing endorsement of the kid than having one of the worst draft evaluators doubt him. I'm not even saying that out of jest or to be a snarky dude. Locke's doubt seals it for me. Draft Biyombo.

To Locke's credit, he backs up many of his conclusions with analysis and stats (he likes his basketball version sabermetrics) unlike most sports talking heads who base everything on subjective perceptions or who just, frankly, pull things out of their arses. I find his takes, for the most part, interesting, well thought out, and informative. I guess I'm one of the few people here who quite like Locke. (Although I think Spence and Bill on KALL 700 are, overall, the best of the local sports talk shows.)

I should add, I used to hate Locke, but he's grown on me.

With due respect, that's kind of how I feel with regards to the hype on Kanter. There's a whole clutch of Kanter fanatics here basing their love for him on . . . what? A Nike Hoops game? Some high school games? Let's face it, there's just not a lot to go on about him. I'm not on or off the Kanter bandwagon; if he's really BPA, then I'd be thrilled to get him. BUT his lack of a history makes me very nervous. While I'm not adverse to risk as a general rule, in this case, I'm adverse to taking too much risk. With the #3 pick, we damned well better have a pretty good idea what we're getting, and I'm not sure a mystery man with huge potential upside fits the bill.

I may yet be convinced, but so far, and despite all the love for Kanter I've read here, and from what I've read elsewhere, I'm not.

Assuming that's the one where he says 'he's a man out there, this isn't the competition he'll face in the NBA (he's the same age as them, and they are the best talent in the world at their age, but Biyombo can't improve because...).'

'He might be 22 or 23 (according to you? what are you basing that on?)'

'But he's 6' 9", so something something he's not a C or tall enough or just a forward (because wingspan, standing reach, strength, and athleticism don't enter into the equation at all. The best players do everything with the top of their head)'
