Been working. I don't remember the first time. What are ya disagreeing with?
First time was about your all knowing music tastes, but I don't really remember if you ended up replying or not. You really believe that your analysis of college prospects is that much better than the rest of us? I know PKM is full of himself but it sounds more out of character when you say things like this. And I'm very high on MCW so just ribbing you a bit.

Looking at prospects completely depends on what you're looking for. It's precisely why you rarely have a player that is a consensus favourite amongst any fanbase.
I think part of the draft that people don't think about, is how a player will fit with a team that he gets drafted to. Utmost importance is placed on BPA, and then we automatically just focus on how a player competed on his respective level.
Lets take a step back. How will this player fit-in on a team with high draft picks? Are his talents conducive to the rest of our squad? Are his talents based around cooperation and team-work?? Very important in the NBA game.
Defense isn't all about measurements-- a lot of defense has to do with mindset. I think Gordon Hayward is living proof of this.
This is why I don't place massive stock in MCWs ability to stay in the passing lanes. Couple that with his participation in an elite defensive System (hint hint Chris Singleton, FSU) and this effectively cools me on his biggest attribute. Not to mention the fact that he simply doesn't pass the eye test for me.
When I think about team fits, drive, leadership-- it leaves me with only one player I really want: Trey Burke. He is essentially everything we need from our current hole in PG. We HAVE capable offensive players. We have good defenders, players who can carry offenses for short periods of time. All we need is a selfless player who makes his teammates better, and can fill the leadership void we have on this team
I think i could be sold on Schröder or McCollum, but these are players that will be found in many drafts. I do like McCollum quite a bit, but Burke definitely intrigues me more. He's on another echelon.

Saying you prefer Burke to MCW is a lot like saying you prefer a quarter to a dime.
Burke is going to go a lot higher than MCW. (most likely) So, it's not really a fair comparison. I think you'd have to compare MCW to other folks who might be drafted in our range. (although there is no guarantee MCW drops to us)

Yes, I do think I know more than most of you. My track record speaks for itself when it comes to evaluating players.

How do I google your track record?
So who do you love in this draft, Hantlers? I will add it to the Official JazzFanz Homer list.

We should create a bust one also. Pick 1 person who you think will be the biggest bust in the draft also.
