OK Jazzfanz... time for a new big board. Post yours, too... Lets make it 12 deep since it looks like it's possible we finish at the 12 spot...
Here's mine:
1. Okafor
2. Russell
3. Towns
4. Mudiay
5. Johnson
6. Hezonja
7. Winslow
8. Porzingis
9. Looney
10. Oubre
11. Booker
12. WCS(he's so low only because we already have Gobert, who has a similar skillset)
The first 4 is very muddy for me and by draftday it's very possible it's going to change. Same goes for last 3.
(I'd be happy with 1-10, but really pissed if we got to 11-12, just not sold on the Turner/Oubre/Booker trio).
I actually have come to like a lot of those prospects and I don't think I'd be too disappointed with drafting any of them. Our coaching staff has done great developing our young players so far, so I trust them that they can work with talent and make them improve...
Porz is featured this week on DX.

The range of emotions the DX scouting reports give you.
1st half: **** yeah, get this guy he is a beast
2nd half: Jesus Christ this guy is a weenie who sucks at basketball.
After watching Mirotic dominate the last week I really want to like Porz. Offensively this dude seems like a potential monster, but his weaknesses make him seem like a weak version of Kanter.
nm, his shooting percentages are ghastly. Maybe he can be good in a situational role.
Yeah, but it's a two-edged sword. Sometimes I think it results in him getting tunnel vision.i like the fact that Stan is already trying to take over games and be the man as a true freshamn. He's got a killer instinct and is an all around bad ***.
Wow you must really like Oubre.For the Jazz...

Not a fan of Hunter. Putting up really bad stats in a sub-par conference. He is super skinny and is just an average athlete. Doesn't do anything better than Hood IMO and doesn't have much potential.
I see Oubre as the highest risk reward of this years wing crop. He could have these attitude things you hear about, but I think talent wise he's the best of the bunch. I trust the front office to screen him well, and if he comes across as a solid guy I think he'd be great for us.
