Jordan Mickey jumped way up to the 1st pick of the 2nd round in DX's mock and said he could go late first round. I pimped him early *pats own back*.

Good player... Will be a solid player off the bench for over ten years in the league. Very high bball iq Jordan has
 
Here is my top 13...Players that played in USA(Mudaiy played HS) not euro trash
1. Okafor- Once he trims body fat watch out. High ball iq, smooth, great footwork, and is young
2. Towns- Could be number 1 but just disappears way to much for me to label a franchise player
3. Russell- smooth combo guard like Harden. Will be an allstar down the road
4.Mudiay- Great size and feel for the game. Young but seasoned from playing one year overseas
5 Stanley Johnson- This kid is like Kawhi Leonard, Does it all. Could be a Artest like defender in nba
6.Justice Winslow- Came on late but has a nice feel to his game, stat stuffer
7. WCS- or Trill as he is now knowm. Best defensive player in draft, great athlete.
8 Kevin Looney- Better pro then college player. Book it
9..Myles Turner- His value went down but I think a lot of that has to do with Barnes being on his way out
10.Trey Lyles- barely makes top 10 due to advance offensve skills. poor defender
11.Cameron Payne- this kid going make a splash from a small school like Lillard
12. Bobby Portis- nice face up 4 with the body to play long time in nba
12.Kelley Oubre- Either be a solid player borderline allstar or a complete flop
13.Frank Kaminsky- Needs weight but with his game he is going push a borderline playoff team into the playoffs
14.

Googled ' Sam Dekker reminds me of' and all the comparisons are of white players: Hayward, Parsons, Harpring, Van Horn. Uncreative Internet.

As stated, I'm liking a lot of players but I think I'm sweetest on: Johnson, Turner, Loony, Portis (assuming Jazz pick at 12).

Tweet from @ChrisMannixSI today -

Something that surprised me: Several executives say they would take UK's Devin Booker in the top-ten. Thought of him more of a teens pick.

Also saw that Booker had the best Lane Agility Time and Shuttle Run. https://stats.nba.com/draftcombine/#!/agility/?sort=MAX_VERTICAL_LEAP&dir=1

Perhaps he isn't the one dimensional unathletic shooter he's thought to be.

I said this all year.

He's not crazy athletic, but has supreme IQ and reads the defense. Sees the gaps and gets himself open with a quick high release. Finishes extremely well in the break/at the rim. Decent enough defender and won't be a liability there (may take a couple years).

I'm beginning to realize that the Jazz will be picking around 12-14 opposed to the top-10, so I'm all in on Devin Booker.

DX has him up to #15 on their big board, he's probably the best shooter in the draft.

The thing that sold me today is Jay Bilas said every time he shoots the ball he expects it to go in, similarly like he did with Steve Alford, Reggie Miller, and Steph Curry in college.

Devin Booker is averaging 10.7 PPG in just under 22 minutes per game on a loaded Kentucky team. I mean, 43% from three on 4 attempts a game is no joke and he's also a 83% free throw shooter.

White Chocolate said:
Thank you, been saying this for the past couple days. Dude shoots 43% from three on 4 attempts a game.

I love me some Devin Booker. Best shooter in the draft.

White Chocolate said:
All of this. Booker is the guy I want right now.

White Chocolate said:
I notice JJ Redick and that only makes me want Devin Booker even more.

I want shooting.

Devin Booker.

Yeah, I think I love me some Devin Booker.
 
I think I would be pretty much happy with anyone we drafted who is thought to be in our range. I think this draft is 18-ish deep.

That's what I've been thinking, too. Not many guys in our range that would make me mad.

There's a number of guys that I can live with, but there's a few guys that should end up in trading range that I would love to have. Top 3 guys that I think are outside the top 5, but would be awesome gets are Hezonja, Johnson and Porzingis. Unless one of those guys drops, I'm hoping they trade up to maximize their draft position.

I've warmed to Booker, Kaminsky and Portis. . . but I'm not sure those guys have the star potential that the Jazz should be targeting.

I don't know if it's that deep, but there are a lot of players 12ish to like 20 that seem to be on the same level and could go at any pick.

Good list. Wish that NBA teams would follow your lead and put Upshaw into the top 10 and have someone like Johnson slip down to us.

Just the same, I'll be much happier if we have a second tier player fall to us, or better yet, find a way to move up.
Click to expand...

Yep. I've been thinking the same for a while now. I don't think I'd hate any of the players in our range. Last week Walt Perrin said that on our board we've separated the prospect in several tiers. He said first tier of 4, second of 5 and third of 7 players... So that's about 16 prospects that we are currently considering.

I don't know if Jerian Grant is in those 16(there were tweets by T Jones that we've talked to him and invited him for a workout) players but he's one of the players I don't really like much. I'm not crazy about Lyles too...
