hes 6/7th at best... Annoyingly where the jazz will probably end up picking. We shouldve taken Giannis and taken smart this year lol. (although we would prob be picking at 2-3 if that was the case)
 
Smart is having a diffiult time scoring. The last thing we need is someone who can't score. I would rather have LaVine than Smart.

I really want to like him, but I'm just not enamored with the guy. Wish I was, but when I watch him I just feel like he's missing that IT factor that I see in Vonleh, Randle, Harris and Gordon.

If I acknowledge that Embiid, Wiggins, Parker and Exum are the top 4 prospects this year, then I think you have to fit him in that 2nd tier of players. Out of those 5 guys, he's the last guy on my list. Simple as that.

Like I said, I'll re-evaluate my rankings after the season and tournament. Then again after the combine, workouts and interviews. It's a fluid process. If he's the best guy on the board, I still want the Jazz to take him. In the top 10, you don't reach for positional value. Just take the best player and stack your bench.

We have a Gary Harris... his name is Alec Burks.

I've come around on Burks big time over the course of this season. In the top 10, I personally think that you should almost always draft the best player available. Hopefully it fills a need, but that shouldn't be a deciding factor. Play them off the bench if you have to and build up your depth. Competition and good coaching can usually determine who should play and how to use them effectively.

He has absolutely no problem scoring because he gets to the line. And you are bat **** crazy to think Lavine is better than smart. Insane, nuts whatever.
 
To be clear I am not a fan boi. He has trouble shooting and can be streaky. He has had a few bad games recently and if that's all you saw to come to a conclusion that he does not have that it factor...shame on you. Probably has that it factor as much as anyone in this draft.
