Following potential 2015 draftees

Let me ask you, Fish, why you like Oubre. Maybe he's great but I'm probably being influenced by the plethora of wings already on the roster and wasn't sure he was an upgrade on any of them. (Burkes, Hayward, Hood, Millsap, Ingles)

Idk. Good question.

I guess he just reminds me of kahwi leonard. That's really about it. Pretty weak I know

I think the Jazz should spend a couple assets, move up to 9 or 8 and not leave anything to chance. Figure out who their guy is and go get him.

Problem is they might have trouble getting workouts for Hezonja, Porzingis, and Johnson. Drafting without a workout means they can't really be sure who "their guy" is

That's why I asked. I thought I must be missing something, but since you're actually kinda lukewarm on him I'm just cement my own opinion. Still not on the bandwagon.

Well, sheesh. I don't see how I could possibly learn anything new. 2.5 more weeks of waiting. I love our FO - total faith in them.

Johnson should work out for the Jazz. He can't afford to blow them off.

The Euros might do group workouts for multiple teams or hold workouts in Europe that the Jazz could get access to.

I'd be depressed if he wasn't. Kanter is one of the worst defenders I've ever seen on an NBA level.

Not all of defense is based on size and strength. Having BBIQ and being dedicated/committed to improving on that end can go a long way. I think Frank has the IQ and commitment level... I'm not sure Kanter does.

Frank is faster laterally than Kanter, but will get bullied a bit in the post I think.

Ya I like oubre cause he has a high ceiling (size, athleticism, measurables, shooting) but he definitely has some red flags and bust potential.

I think of Frank just the opposite way
 
Booker looked really good, I think he might not be there when we draft. Looney is interesting, Kaminsky is solid, Turner is potential.
 
With Booker and Turner rising, that is going to push some people down. Probably Stanley, which I could live with. . .
 
All of these guys look good in their draft workout videos. They are edited videos designed to make them look good.
 
All this push up push down stuff makes me realize that regardless of what happens, were going to have a chance at drafting a good player.

There are at least 15 players that are sure fire top ten picks... But seriously when I listen to chad ford and he talks about Turner, Dekker, Booker etc. and says they are all rising and thinks they sneak inside the top ten on draft night I laugh.

This is absolutely true... With that said in the video he seemed to have more spring than I ever remember seeing. I just can't imagine JJ reddick ever looked like that in his workouts. Made me think there is more to him.

But yeah I watched an unedited workout with him dekker and grant and they missed a lot if shots.
