While we're at it, this Qualls kid on Arkansas looks like a value pick.
Following potential 2015 draftees
- Thread starter Dr. Jones
- Start date
Givony seems to think Kaminsky will be a decent defender in the NBA while Porzingis is gonna suck. But then Porzingis is a whole 2 years younger right?

Givony agrees with me on Kaminsky being a good fit in our front court and that Mario is the real deal.

When did he say he thinks Porz is gonna suck? All he said was that he doesn't think Porz will be a big contributor right away.
When he was talking about Porzingis and he's got questions about his defense in the NBA?

I just listened to that part of the interview again and he never once talked about Porzingis' defense.
Haha.. I must have misheard it then. I was busy doing something else at the time.
Edit: Ah ok, he said Porzingis is much more of a project and there's a question mark about him long term.

Confidence is good if he is willing to put in the work. I want guys that think they are the best. Problems can occur with irrational confidence though (see Waiters, Dion).
Based on Walt Perrins interview a couple weeks ago this is a guy the Jazz would be high on.

Not a big fan... I think I caught him during bad games. He has a lot of motion going on with that jumper. It may continue to go in but it ain't pretty.

He was awful during the only game I saw him play.
That doesn't mean anything, thats just all I know.

Stick a fork in him.
I played ESPN's Mock Draft Lottery game once and this was the outcome. Sounds good to me.
Bobby Portis on entering the draft:
"I'm leaning toward coming back just because we lost, and I hate losing," Portis said after having 18 points, 14 rebounds and 5 steals against North Carolina. "I don't want to end my Razorback career as a loser.
"I don't even want to take this jersey off right now. I have to wait a whole 200 days just to put it back on. That hurts me. I love the Arkansas Razorbacks. I want to be a Hog forever."
"I just want to try to make sure I make the right decision," Portis said. "It's not just me anymore. It's about my family and about the Razorbacks."

I think that's our worst case scenario but I wouldn't be unhappy about it though.

Portis should declare. He doesn't have that much of a upside and he could slip because of his age next year. I don't know how deep the draft will be but I don't see what he could win staying. Love his play and I feel like Atlanta should draft him because I feel like he could be great fit there.

Awkward looking tall white guy who can shoot. Reminds of Kelly Olynyk.

The Jazz loved Olynyk in the Draft and they're always looking for a stretch 4. I think they're done taking the freaky measurements/upside guys. Kaminsky seems too safe of a pick for the Jazz. That is, if he's still on the board.
