About 100 pages back I compared Portis' sophomore stats to Rasheed Wallace's soph stats. They were very close. What do you guys think about Horace Grant as a potential comp for Portis?
So the players I like for the Jazz fall pretty much in the following order (as of today):
- Russell
- Hezonja
- Porzingis
- Johnson
- Oubre / Turner
- Portis
One of these guys will almost certainly be there at 12. My opinion is that the player the Jazz really want currently mocked in the 9 - 12 range is Johnson. If we didn't screw up and win an extra meaningless game or two at the end of the season, we'd be in a good position to get him.

Tell me again why we don't like Kaminsky?
For me, it's:
- limited upside
- limited ability to guard 4s and switch out on the floor defensively
- limited ability to get into a stance and guard the pick and roll
- limited rebounding
- moves at about half the speed of Looney and Portis
- has less shot-blocking and possibly less mid-range offense than Turner
I get the Okur comps though. He's a shooter, for real.
I think I like him a bit better than Looney. Probably.
Yep, I like Turner but not enough to give up additional assets to get him.

I like Portis but he seems a little like Favors, we need a big that really puts fear in the other team as a floor spacer. If we can't get that we need to trade back in the draft

Frank Kaminsky has a highlight doing the exact same thing
You actually pay for that site or did you get the charts from another website?
Myles looks extremely spotty on the shotchart. I mean.. he shoots from everywhere and doesn't really have a place where his shots are concentrated. That actually translates well the fact that he really doesn't have a go-to offensive move with the exception of the turn around jumper. He will need to really work on his low-post game, or even some face-up game...
With Portis it looks like the central part of the field is his sweet stretch. From the basket all the way to the 3 point line. He also has made some crazy % from the right side 3 but hasn't taken any from the left side, which is kinda weird. He might be a great candidate for corner 3s in the league.

A friend of mine has access (I guess he pays) and finally gave me the pass after I was bugging him for all types of shot charts all the time...
Damn, I guess I shouldn't be posting those. Might be infringing on some copyrights. I will delete them, I'm sorry guys... don't want to get him or myself in trouble.

Luwawu was flat out unstoppable today, took the game over, blowout status whenever he was in. By far his best showing this year. He looked like a triple threat version of Sefolosha, his stock will certainly get a bump from this..
He might be a top-20 prospect honestly.. he's not far off thats for sure... I was high on Damien Inglis last year, thought similarly of Luwawu when he hit the radar, different skillsets/positions obviously. I'm now convinced Luwawu has more upside(than Inglis) and is within striking distance of RHJ...
Built to play ultra fast, glides on defense, thats his 'transferable skill'. He's not just fast for some wing in the french pro b league, he will play very fast for a wing in the NBA.
Offensively he's more undercontrol and made better reads than you might expect, made a handful of nice post entry feeds, drew fouls with ease and showed plenty of nice finishes around the rim, most importantly he shot well from 3.
